It's difficult to make the transition from a illiberal, gay, east coast jewish female with an Ivy League indoctrination, to a traditional liberal constitutionist. And it doesn't help when your soul mate keeps pratteling on about the heartbreaking loss suffered by the Hillary Hag, etc. Bari is the reason I subscribed to TFP. I give her chops for making the effort but she and Suzy need to do more.

It is frustrating. Maybe there is another word for TDS: pride.
What I do appreciate about this interview is the candor with which he critiqued the US in their foreign policy and how the singular and insular focus on culture war issues dominates the rhetoric. The geopolitical threats we face really ought to be a more central focus in this election. I also like how kept reiterating that Iran is the real problem and the democrats have totally failed to acknowledge or respond to that fact. I also appreciated his insistence that we need to step outside of our ethnocentric selves in order to understand the players in order to respond intelligently. People look really stupid when they mistakenly apply an American white privilege oppressor vs. oppressed people of color lens to the current situation with IsraelтАФa lens which isnтАЩt even accurate in the US context! Bari is spot on in her critique of the partyтАЩs response to BibiтАЩs speech. I also found her analysis of the ideologues in Big Media being products of the education system interesting.

Sorry, who is illiberal East Coast gayтАж?
Apparently, you're not paying attention. Obviously, I'm referring to Bari (and Suzy)
I am paying attention, which is why I asked about your statement re: illiberal. All other attributes fit except that one. Thanks.

I believe this applies.
Yes, I like Bari and certainly feel she is doing important work; I just hate TDS.
