I thought Times journalists weren’t supposed to be taking sides. This is taking a side.

Of course. The universal political correspondent language: rolling your eyes at anyone who isn’t a Republican or 90-year old decrepit Democratic moderate

Hey @nytimes, huge numbers of Democrats feel very passionately about both the filibuster and the SCOTUS situation. I am very troubled that your political reporters appear to believe this is an absurd and childish position.

This smug and detached elitism, which dismissed a position that, as shown by polling, the vast majority of Democrats hold, calls into question whether your political reporters are too caught up in a tiny DC bubble to do their jobs. Consider some turnover on your political team.

In all seriousness, @nytimes, why is your reporter mocking and taunting people who care about these issues?
