      People with extreme views often prefer to polarize the debate so they don't need to engage with more measured critics or compete with more reasonable alternatives. https://twitter.com/sunraysunray/status/1396162703371214855 …

      NHJ is a Joe Biden supporter (or at least someone who defends Biden against Black left criticism)!

      Actually I think it does -- 1619 (or at least NHJ's contribution to it) can be read as a way to reconceptualize American exceptionalism for a period with identity issues are more salient to Democratic coalition.

          The funny thing about this little disagreement is that the 1619 take on Black agency and American ideals is the same as the Jacobin take on Black agency and Enlightenment ideals:https://twitter.com/MarxinHell/status/1324446622902816768?s=20 …

          William Clare Roberts added,

          William Clare Roberts @MarxinHell
          Jacobin’s line on the Enlightenment is exactly the same as the 1619 Project’s line on the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. Send tweet.
