Defense of liberalism in ‘NYT’ paints left as bullies but doesn’t dare to mention Iraq war
Nikil Saval of n+1 has an essay at the New York Times that seeks to redeem liberalism from attacks on left and right that have discredited it– as a gutless caving to corporate interests, or as government overreach.
