1. Many of us in politics, depending on age, have seen these tensions for 5, 15, 25, 35 years. But we have been stymied because the broad historical narrative elite types know is wrong, written without banks and corporate power. It's why I wrote Goliath.https://twitter.com/AnandWrites/status/1224313101971075075 …

11. As
@ezraklein elevated the debate over Obamacare, the tectonic shifts in American politics happened over the bailouts, trade and foreclosure crisis. That's what we had been told to ignore as not part of relevant politics. I noted this in 2012. https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2428&context=ulj …Prikaži ovu nit -
12. Both parties missed it. The
#NeverTrumpers refused to admit any errors under George W. Bush, insisting it was all inevitable. They put up Mitt Romney. Then Obama boosters saw Romney's weakness as validation of their own poor choices. Even when Trump blew everything up.Prikaži ovu nit -
13. There's still a deep reluctance to recognize what is clearly happening even as it's happening. I've found deep anger at my argument, more from the left than the right.

15. The only people who are making the case about economic power being meaningful are socialists, like Jacobin
@sunraysunray,@NathanJRobinson and Michael Lind. And now, populists. The politics and institutions are aligning. Bernie/Warren in politics. Antitrust investigations.Prikaži ovu nit -
16. So listen to
@AnandWrites. If you can't incorporate the financial crisis, the role of big money philanthropy or big tech into your understanding of politics, then it's time to do some learning. Learning is good.https://twitter.com/AnandWrites/status/1224313101971075075 …Prikaži ovu nit -
17. At any rate, to really understand the rebellion going on in both parties, you have to get into the guts of banks and corporate power.https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Goliath/Matt-Stoller/9781501183089 …
