Of course, I do everything for money.

I don't think consensus-building politics is what I'm meant to be doing.

The advice I've been giving to people all my life - that you may not be interested in the dialectic but the dialectic is interested in you you can't give up politics, it won't give you up - was the advice I should have been taking myself.

The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.

I used to wish there was a useful term for those of us who thought American power should be used to remove psychopathic dictators.
