      me, reading this thread: “good stuff, good stuff… WOW that went off the rails” this is a super shallow and ahistorical takehttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1049047514719166465 …

      If you were writing a history of the how the Supreme Court tipped, you’d probably start with the 2010 midterm election. The Dems, in effect, abandoned every other lever power in the country besides the presidency. The right did not. https://twitter.com/r0wdy_/status/1049043721717575681 …

      1) Dems didn’t “abandon” other levers of power in 2010 1b) the presidential party always loses seats down ballot (@xenocryptsite has some excellent graphs of this) 2) I wouldn’t start an analysis of changes in the Court in 2010, missing the significance of Roberts + Alito

      1-In effect, I believe they did. They didn't just lose a few seats downballot. 2-Sure, those are significant too.pic.twitter.com/02xDbSSMJS

      no question 2010 was a disaster for Dems, but it fits more within a recurring historical trend than this weird idea they Didn't. Even. Try. https://twitter.com/xenocryptsite/status/882974462169296896 …https://twitter.com/xenocryptsite/status/893518775819128832 …

      one big factor making 2010 worse for Dems? voter backlash to their passing the Affordable Care Act. but we wouldn't argue they shouldn't have pursued healthcare reform, right? http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1532673X11433768 …

      This is going to get too complex for Twitter but.. here's one article. It's not abandon as much as the path they chose. https://newrepublic.com/article/140245/obamas-lost-army-inside-fall-grassroots-machine …

          I'd like to follow up: seems to me Obama's Dreamcatcher infrastructure and its threat to the DNC sizzled out internally within the party bc siloed servers?, while the https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1049124761329160192 … FB Google Twitter engagement/"election meddling" plays out globally bc corporate servers?
