    crank, my sincere advice is you should lay out the thrust of your argument within your 1st 200 words & that throat-clearing for the length of a column before getting to your point — which even then is unclear — is a recipe for being misunderstood as often as you seem to be.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1382470893180452864 …

    "For the purpose," i.e., their purpose, as I later state explicitly, is "they argue openly that the Georgia law would make it easier for the opposition party to win elections. Democrats thus see this as a zero-sum partisan power struggle" Next time, read the whole thing. https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1382464119400452100 …

        if an accurate reading of your lede depends on connecting the clause “for the purpose of” to a sentence roughly 500 words down the page, then there is a structural problem in the writing

        If I were your editor Crank, I would have suggested you write something like: “Democrats believe the Georgia law is a gambit to help the GOP win elections by undermining fair elections, but it is their coordination of an unaccountable corporate response that is anti-democratic.”https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1382472852759265282 …

        Thesis of the column first, support for it second. This is a fine model and only breaks down when people are too damn sloppy to read 1,000 words before writing a response. https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1382471950732251138 …

        The words you wrote do not effectively transmit the idea you are trying to communicate. Like I said, they suggest the opposite.

        If a teacher wrote this on my college paper I’d die and drop out of school.

        I mean all you need to do to be Buckley is threaten to beat up a "queer" for saying something you don't like.
