I love this column. I think Buttigieg and others are actually auditioning for the NYT op-ed page.
I am really clueless about interactions with people, but I will talk policy, as opposed to politics, with anyone. Also planning to volunteer for a church supper, I’ve donated supermarket cards and food, but I still feel like I’m not doing enough.
As far as “identity politics “, what these pundits don’t seem to understand is that more and more people are falling into marginalized groups. Even white people.
The centrist model is doomed, as well as being morally reprehensible.
Sounds like you're doing pretty darn good with other people (at least from where I sit, as a frequently clueless person myself).
And yes, I do think that centrism assumes a world where most people consider themselves to be doing pretty well, and jeez that's far less people every single day.
Silver Jews ftw!
