A new publication that I’m quite curious about. The Argument aims to «make a positive, combative case for liberalism». This is founder Jerusalem Demsas’ launch essay. Liberalism, she writes, won’t be saved by historical analogies and endless lectures. «It will be won if we can convince people that the issues they care about are best addressed through liberalism.» (Great bycatch of reading the article is this definition of conservatism I didn’t know: It «stands athwart history, yelling Stop.»)
