Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      If any range of non-white non-male non-pablum people were in charge, you wouldn't have a job, Chait. You're employed largely because you are privileged.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1024348894791122949 …

      I think we can both agree that, if Bhaskar was in charge, I would not be able to have a job writing and disseminating political commentary. https://twitter.com/sunraysunray/status/1024348351624568834 …

      I feel like u would say that about almost any white man. A simplistic and dumb statement. Be better

      Nah. There are a lot of very talented white male writers who have jobs because they're talented. Then there are white male writers because white male people like getting their warmed over commentary from people who look like them and won't make them uncomfortable.

      Yea but is Chait really that untalented? I personally find your commentary a bit more valuable, but some of his writing is quite good imho. Sorry i assumed you were making a more general point, but claiming that Chait's where hes at cause he is a white male strikes me as wrong

      In my opinion he is, yes. And the areas where he shows any original thought -- beating up the left and championing charter schools uncritically -- are not really topics that should be unquestioningly mainstreamed.
