Very cool!!!

@Brien_Jackson I mean there are literally infinite hard choices parenting forces you to make around your child's consent and their small but growing autonomy

"Getting a hug" is just obviously not one of those things

Let grandma pinch those little cheeks.... or don't she'll do it anyways 😈😈

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@arachno_commie The epidemic likely has a lot of its source in violent anti Jewish terrorist attacks though

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@LouAnonAnon I totally agree with this but it only makes me more frustrated with this video clip

Most trans people are either politically inactive or just regular democratic voters

Almost 0% of trans people think democrats abandoned them

And yet we get that narrative from this person :(

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@a_luffa You can think that if you want!

I just hope you won't deny me the pleasure of pointing laughing and being kinda fascinated by those beliefs

It's a silly and weird way to go about this in my opinion!

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@LSynnove Ok... but what's the actual policy disagreement trans activists are pushing for?

Like I take your point that the tone was bad but what should a Democrat who wants support from activists like this actually do?

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@a_luffa No it's just very very very very funny to me that the "gotcha" of that part of the interview is just

"Wow you believed a very popular thing decades ago when you were in college.... this says a lot about society"

It's silly and sloppy lol

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@joshischillin The majority report would be right wing propaganda in the soviet union!!!

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@ceilingscrack @DanRosenheck Yeah he was on interview show with limited time and presumably wanted to talk about something other than his college blog

Like I said it was a good "dunk" but there's not really any substance beyond that in

"College kid said popular thing on a blog decades ago"

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@PunishedGramsci So you.... don't want any particularly trans or trans related policies?

You just want anti poverty welfare?

I'm just genuinely confused where the "trans" part of what you're saying comes in here?

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@a_luffa He's been right about literally everything ever since then though I guess

Right?

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@ceilingscrack @DanRosenheck Yes as a 22 year old matt went with a popular trend

What does that actually tell us about today?

Could we use anything from the last decade or so to make that point better?

It's not like the Iraq War was the last time he ever said anthting wrong right?

Why are we doing this?

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@_carlbeijer These kinds of interviews are usually very depressing

But that's Great news about Bernie Sanders's head!!!

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@MinorityOfOne75 @RGonzo97 Yes this is correct

This happened becuase a vast majority of LGBT and trans voters do jot believe the democratic party has abandoned them

The person in this clip is not representative of trans people broadly

Someone should take that mic from them and not give it back

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@ceilingscrack @DanRosenheck Yes correct it is a way to say that when he was very young Matthew yglesias was "part of the cohort" of 70% of the country that believed something

Again that's a great way to make a Twitter dunk video

It's not a good way to say his writing now is somehow flawed

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@ericopinion (No chance its in michigan I imagine 🥺)

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@ericopinion Technically yes ie old like that!

But if it involves more than 2 hours drive or a plane/train ticket I'll have to turn ya down

Lots of commitment for a random tweeter fella ya know?

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@showmeopie Poor voters care mostly about "culture war" issues

Many rich people care a lot about "culture war" issues too

This is consistent with what the guy is complaining about

Dems abandoned culture war positions that the working class cares about

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@DerekPederson3 Hasan is a stand up comedian who does Twitter gotcha interviews

I dont think he has any "commentary"

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@ericopinion I know Matt and most centrists are totally able to have a irl conversation on their policy positions. I don’t *think* that, I live that almost every day offline

Are you just incapable of imaging someone who doesn't agree with you?

Someone with different experiences or beliefs?

[steven schomberger @stevenschom]

@jamesetta_w Poor people vote for parties mostly for cultural reasons not strict economic self interest

Just like rich people

It's weird to pretend poor people have to vote for poor people reasons but only rich people care about social policies
