  1. Pinned Tweet
  2. Always remember, this country does not deserve to be saved. Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. the / twitter mashup is truly the frankenstein with the darkest takes

  4. Precisely. Some Republican reporter with more influence and worse views does not reside in their social worlds, so doesn't attract scorn.

  5. It's utterly bizarre how many of you are fixated on the various failings of a low-influence freelance journalist. It makes no sense.

  6. But because of the weird screening mechanisms of media and bourgie progressive life, Tracey is more present to them. He is the near-group.

  7. Obsession with Mike Tracey demonstrates this point well. Plenty of reporters who believe far more heinous things.

  8. That is, Some would rather maintain an ineffective progressive movement in which they have status than lose status in an effective one.

  9. I think the Iron Law of Institutions says as much about progressivism as a social discourse as it does Democrats.

  10. I think Obama failed to deliver in many ways but his political message brought economic populism and diversity together. Not rocket science.

  11. If only there was a presidential candidate who successfully appealed to economic need AND built a diverse coalition. Twice. This decade.

  12. That's why the essential question in call-out culture is not really "what do you believe?" but rather "will you yield to me right now?"

  13. That's how you get people who think that the category "progressives" and "people who I'm personally cool with" are perfectly overlapping.

  14. When someone prochoice says prochoice leftists who tell crude jokes are worse than the politely prolife, that's the politics of deference.

  15. When people who tell me I'm a reactionary can't name a single policy on which we disagree, that is the politics of deference at play.

  16. Under the politics of deference shared goals and achieving broad solidarity are less important than rules of social exchange.

  17. The fight over the rude left is not about "identity politics" but about the politics of deference.
