Yes. 1) The bBiggest failure/hole in Biden’s tenure is his border policy; 2) GOPs need to counter Biden’s economic pitch by saying what economic policy they’re FOR;–not just by pushing culture issues 3) Follows they need to emphasize controlling immigration IS an economic issue. https://t.co/xHvSpMS4dA

Why lower engagement? One obvious possibility: @Twitter’s now showing users more tweets from outside their usual tribe. (I’m getting left blowback again for ex.) That’s a good thing! But users don’t want to read things they disagree with! So views fall. https://t.co/zxEsohdM0g

PS I’m not on one side or the other here. Class mixing in the suburbs is a good thing but it’s not nothing to screw with people’s hard earned single-family homes. Luckily this is the sort of issue where a reasonable compromise is possible.

On DEI (“affirmative action on LSD” says Lind)–well you hear enough anecdotes to think that all of college life and half of corporate life are driven by DEI obsessions. Is that true? Would be good to have a clear-eyed report. It sure seems to be what college profs talk about./8

he has “serious criticisms of the left-wing line on youth gender transition,” so maybe he can join Lind’s coalition on one of its three big issues. On greenism, it’s clear formal electrificaion goals are v-ambitious–and if you live in CA “densification” is now state law. 7/

It’s not even clear Lind is talking about a political party that runs candidates in elections (a misreading I also instinctively committed at first). His bipartisan coalition could be an organization like the Committee for the Free World or People for the American Way. 4/

He doesn’t call for anyone to vote Republican, for example. (That seems a BS charge Chait invents because it makes his piece so much easier.) What Lind calls for is “the largest possible anti-progressive front” that includes “Democrats as well as Republicans and independents.” 3/

Chait sees everything as Biden vs. GOP. He says Lind “insists” that “one must vote Republican,” and wastes several grafs arguing that even if you don’t like Democrats, Republicans are worse. But Lind isn’t talking about Biden vs. GOP or any particular election. 2/
