Whenever we have guests, I want them to feel at home. So I tell them to go home.

We have learned nothing in 2000 years.

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.

We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.
