He took that tweet between jimmy and Matt stoller out of context, i saw the whole stream, matt stoller wasn't arguing against Force the vote, but was acting as a devil's advocate arguing the progressives point that this would risk their seats on committees. Jimmy then for comedic effect yelled "no one fucking voted for progressives to get them on some fucking committee", some people who have only see the small clip took it out of context and claimed jimmy was "being mean again" though it was clearly set up as a bit, and matt has been on Jimmy's show many times. The tweet was aimed at this group to explain that it was simply a comedic bit during a discussion. Both Matt and Jimmy are arguing for ForceTheVote, Yasha is pretending they are on each side of the argument and it's all "performative".
I like Yasha's takes in general, but this feels disingenuous, and him pretending to be above it all by just calling it just "performative".
