An amazing quote from Columbia professor Mark Lilla, a liberal, is a must share:
As a teacher, I am increasingly struck by a difference between my conservative and progressive students. Contrary to the stereotype, the conservatives are far more likely to connect their engagements to a set of political ideas and principles. Young people on the left are much more inclined to say that they are engaged in politics as an X, concerned about other Xs and those issues touching on X-ness. And they are less and less comfortable with debate.
Professor Lilla isn’t moving toward the right by any means. He is attempting to inspire the left to give up on identity politics and return to politics based on principles and ideas.
