The plain fact is that recent college grads aren’t in massive pain. They suffered during the Great Recession like everyone else, but all told, they probably suffered a little less than most other groups.

I'd like to see college debt levels drop by a lot, but I'm not quite sure what the best way to do that is.

I've long believed that having multiple official languages makes it very hard to sustain a united polity.

If Democrats vote against everyone sight unseen, then Republicans will vote for everyone sight unseen. However, if Democrats demonstrate that they’re considering each candidate on the merits, they have at least a fighting chance of defeating one or two of Trump’s nominees.

It’s certainly true that it’s easier to be patient about change when you’re not personally suffering...

If you don’t want your followers to give up in disgust, your inspiration needs to be in the service of goals that are at least attainable.
