Richard Rorty’s 1998 Book Suggested Election 2016 Was Coming

Nice Bernie column today, @DamonLinker, though I don't think Bernie (or any Dem nominee) can drop the identity politics. Your column made me think of this

On a hard drive of a long-discarded laptop, there is a 15-year-old file in which @reihan is singing some weird song. I used to play it when my kids were little, and they thought that guy was some kind of wizard. Which he is! Congratulations!

The intrinsically disordered Pravda of the pro-LGBT movement makes yet another attempt to change the subject
Rod Dreher
