| Topic | Ezra Klein says we should be willing to run Pro-Life Dems in Red States |
| El_Dustino 09/22/25 11:29:27 PM #1: | https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010407682/when-it-comes-to-the-left-ezra-klein-is-frustrated.html Personally I find this to be a common Ezra Klein L but I know some people here tend to like him and some people also tend to think in this way of cautiously backing away from social issues to court moderates and right wingers. Do you agree that we should be willing to run Pro-Life dems in red states to win seats in those states? EDIT: Here is the relevant quote: A lot of the people who embrace alarm dont embrace what I think obviously follows from that alarm, which is the willingness to make strategic and political decisions you find personally discomfiting, even though they are obviously more likely to help you win, right? Taking political positions that will make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didnt want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats. And one of my biggest frustrations with many people whose politics I otherwise share, is the unwillingness to match the seriousness of your politics to the seriousness of your alarm. --- The two most beautiful words in any language: I forgive.
