    Yes, because rational progressives judge positions based on their accuracy rather than line up for or against based on tribal leaders.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/976905479359213568 …

        I think what obama did was have a 'let me be clear' kind of pose but he had sympathy for at least the goals of protestors whereas the free speech panic is obviously about discrediting the left

        Chait is so wrong on this take it borders on nonsensical. But he only exists for the elite to justify the positions they already hold so 🤷

        Chait is aggressively stupid on this point. He seems to maintain that the black-bloc/antifa crowd is overwhelming campus discussions. What a maroon. If he spent one hour on a real college campus, he should (ought to) fall to his knees in apology.

        A real college? Like a state school that isn't a flagship? As if they could afford his speaking fees!

        Can't believe Saint Obama would accept claims of centrist NYT pundits as correct.
