      A thoughtful contribution, thank you. Ideological opposites allying for the greater good is also what I tried to help build in Russia against Putin. We'd be on opposite sides in a parliament, but at least we'd have one.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/1036241825500200961 …

      Similarly, my lack of forgiveness comes from experience. The USSR fell, but the KGB was never rooted out in the rush to celebrate & move on. No accountability, no truth commissions. Putin was the result, just 8 years later.

      People should know that their choices come with a price. Feel empathy if you can, but don't act from pity because we know such people don't have any for us when they have power.

      When Trump took office, I called it a test, a wake-up call that would leave America stronger, more united, more aware of the value of its founding principles. If that doesn't happen, Trump has won regardless of the election results.

      Working with demagogues and autocrats is like working with cancer. You fight it. You cut it out. These aren't political differences, it's deciding if we're going to have politics at all.

          With @renew_democracy, this coalition concept is global, asking all who value the principles of liberal democracy to fight to defend them against extremists & autocrats on all sides. Then we can get back to arguing amongst ourselves!

          And yes, I am intolerant of intolerance, as Popper put it. You do not collaborate with those who would destroy you. You do not debate with those who wish to end all debate.

          Thank you, sir. The only true authorities on this subject are those who recognize repression from having lived it. We are merely taking the bait when we attempt to argue rationally with those who reflexively distort reality in the interest of monopolizing power.

          And also like a cancer it needs regular follow ups to catch it early if it ever tries to reclaim its hold.

          Politics is a cancer killing governance. It feeds off the massive amounts of money permitted. We need publicly funded elections w/ all private money out. Kill Citizens United. We also need to simply ban political parties in governance, to focus on solutions instead of politics.

          I like the metaphor. But I'd like to add that there are many ways to fight cancer. And it's not always clear which will work best. It depends on the patient and the cancer. Also, is Lindsey Graham actually being intolerant? This should not be about him.
