Made many mistakes over the years. Being an Yglesias booster was one of them.
A big problem with the Biden White House is they love the absolute worst fucking people in The Discourse, and Yglesias is one of the ones they love (all the smartest boys on the internet basically, who tend to approach most things from a Trumpesque "nobody thought of this before I did" perspective). Ron Klain is regularly retweeting the worst shit.
