    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jacob T. Levy

    Want to re-up this because it cuts to the heart: One way to understand Democrats' defensive crouch on protests is that the party has decided to making suburban white moderates the cornerstone of the party, which means not doing anything that offends suburban sensibilitieshttps://twitter.com/jtlevy/status/1523657123594641414 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Jacob T. Levy @jtlevy
    One of the things going on in the discourse about the current protests is a professional-class view about suburbs as spaces.

        If a bunch of people yelled outside your house, would you be more likely to change your mind on Topic X or double down?

        Speaking as a white moderate: why would either party willfully choose acts that offend large pools of potentially receptive voters, whomever they are and wherever they may be found?

        Coding "suburban white moderates" as professional-class seems kinda ridiculous though.

        People are attempting to spin this so hard. Psaki said protest, but don't be violent. That's a good statement.

        I don't know if marginal voters who are iffy about abortion and turned off by protesting is a PMC phenomenon. It's definitely a suburban thing, but calling it a "professional class" view seems a bit out of date.

        It’s suburbanites that are doing those protests. I guess they could grow
