Why Be a Liberal?

Description

Join host Samantha Hancox-Li for a discussion of the difference between liberalism as an assumed default and liberalism as an active project. Even as the progressive base—and Americans generally—grow increasingly outraged at Trump II's attacks on our Constitution, elite liberals in media and journalism wring their hands and debate how much we should concede to the right. The end of history left them with a hollow conception of liberalism—as a mere referee between the right and the left—not as an active force fighting for itself. How can we regain that energy going forward? Listen and find out.
