"Its basically impossible for a mainstream Democrat to be practically pro-police in any real sense because it is a basic fact of criminal justice in the United States of America that we have large racial disparities in offending that are upstream of differing rates of arrests and convictions which means that if police and prosecutors are free to do their jobs in the most basic and obvious way which is to say that they are free to pursue crime where it exists and allowed to arrest and prosecute those people who actually commit crimes then those policies will reify disparities that even"

"One of the most frustrating things about this entire debate by the way is that progressives have this sort of version of the story where white people only advocate for this because theyre racist and they would never tolerate the reverse situation. One can imagine a world in which thats true one in which white people would never tolerate the reverse case. It would still be good in that world to arrest whoever is actually committing the crime.

"We talk about it all the time. The evidence that poverty causes crime is not very strong. For one thing the data show that criminality just simply doesnt pay well enough or consistently enough to replace even a low wage job. But for another thing we can just see pretty clearly in the data that criminality correlates much more strongly with other factors. Consider this for example: do you see a lot of violent crime from poor old women If not then there must be some other factor making poor young men engage in more criminal behavior than poor old women. If poverty were the primary factor then"

The fact is that slavery was a human universal for thousands of years the west was uniquely ambivalent about it and we fought a bloody and awful civil war to end it. Its not a stain on our history. Its not an original sin. You dont need to feel any anxiety about it. We didnt do it worse than anybody else but we were instrumental in ending the practice. Our legacy here is fine"

"Of course theres some correlation between poverty and criminality but this is just as easily explained by the fact that criminality leads to poverty as opposed to the other way around. All things being equal you would not really expect a guy shoplifting from CVS or standing on the corner slinging drugs to be extraordinarily successful in other areas of his life.

"Some of those things are more important than others but I think you guys are just simply confused about what impacts ordinary peoples day-to-day lives and why. Raw milk isnt going to be an issue at my kids school or in the HR department where I work. Its not going to make my neighborhood less safe. Its not going to come up in conversation with somebody Ive known for XX years where I have to decide if Im just going to roll my eyes and move on or if challenging their belief is going to mean the end of one of my oldest friendships. Youre right that there are a lot of different things to worry"

"This is a pretty fundamental disagreement and so Im pretty happy to see as many prominent liberals who want to double down on it as possible. I think its easy to see how people could come to believe conspiracy theories about facts that are relatively distant to their lives whereas liberal wrongness about something as fundamental as basic human psychology is I think unforgivable and unignorable in a totally different way"

"You run a thought experiment where Muslims are XX% of the population or XX% of the population or XX% of the population and you very quickly realize that these are nightmare scenarios in which the country as we know it ceases to exist. So why in the world would you say yeaaaaaah but I bet we could still survive if it were only X% or 4%. Lets squeeze in whatever we can until it almost becomes an existential problem and then no more than that. Thats absurd. Why would you ever think that way It makes no sense. Why would you take that chance at all For what For what great benefit to the people who"

"Crime rates are a genuinely complicated question for at least two uncomfortable reasons: 1) there are large racial offending disparities; and 2) there are large geographic offending disparities (that are substantially related to point number one). For example what we see with immigrants is that first generation immigrants mostly do have lower crime rates but the effect disappears in subsequent generations which tend to have the crime rate that matches their demographics. This means that two seemingly contradictory things can be true: legal immigrants have a lower crime rate than average but"

"This is a very common kind of response to concerns about immigration but (unsurprisingly) I dont find it very convincing. Integrating Catholic Europeans took a lot of effort and caused a lot of trouble and they were the most like the Americans who preceded them that its possible to be. I dont think it follows that therefore you shouldnt worry about the effects of any other kind of immigration no matter how different"

"The point made here is a crucial one. If I say something like we dont know how to rehabilitate criminals and then you point out to me that the five-year recidivism rate for XX to XX year-old parolees is XX% which means that XX% dont commit another crime (that we know of) within five years and you think that you just won the argument then we are living on different planets"

"Theyve been trying to get the light rail in St. Louis out to the north western suburbs for many years and theres a kind of funny way that the argument plays out where the residents of those suburbs worry aloud that the train will bring crime and the liberal response is just to sarcastically repeat the concern back to them as though its just so obviously ridiculous that you dont even need to make a real argument. Ohhhhh no we cant have the light rail come out to the suburbs because that will bring crime. Im soooooo scared. But its just like yeah you know maybe it makes sense to bring the train"

"I dont really take any pleasure in this framing but I grew up in the rust belt and moved to New England and its remarkable how similar it actually is. The physical environment especially is really quite similar as are many of the individual archetypes. Maybe call it rust belt with Hispanics or catholic rust belt. Not nearly as different as new Englanders probably hope it is"

"If we went way over the top trying to import only white people at this point it would barely be enough to prevent white people from becoming a minority anyway. With the immigration debate it just feels over and over and over again like people think its still 1965. We could have had an argument about keeping the racial proportions of that country but demographic change is already baked in. I feel like all these oh you just want more white people takes ignore that it would take a Herculean effort just to get back to the same proportion of white people we had when I was in college. And Im not"

"My understanding is that its much easier to get a Medicaid funded bed in a nicer facility if you started out as a paying customer so there are still some advantages to having the money. But if youre thinking something like man whats the point of having this money if its all just going to be spent down until Medicaid covers everything anyway then you should start thinking very seriously about how to generationally transfer the wealth your family has accumulated sooner rather than later. If you wait until its too late then its all going to go to your own healthcare"

"Its just the least offensive hypothetical available. You could just easily ask yourself why XX year-old Chinese men in New York City at the exact same poverty level as 19-year-old black men in New York City commit crimes at dramatically different rates. It cant really be just the poverty causing crime in that case. Theyre the same age. And the same gender. And weve controlled for income. But their crime rates are very different. You simply have to come up with some other explanation. If you want to tell me that its the legacy of racism or something then fine. Say that. But you have to find"
