    I'll just say that you can take this posture towards the voters, but it sits uncomfortably with having "Democracy enthusiast" in your Twitter profile.https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1427258342758617101 …

    Biden owns the messy retreat - which will be case study in policy screwups for years to come - but who made the decision to pull out of Afghanistan? We did. And whether it was a good or bad idea, that's on us. My latest in @TheAtlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/08/afghanistan-your-fault/619769/ …

        I'm not sure why "voters make bad decisions" is in conflict with being pro-democracy. Being pro-democracy does not entail being pro-every democratic decision.

        Replying to @JonHenke

        No, but Tom has been arguing that we are an unserious people unfit to make these kinds of decisions wisely (admittedly, the Atlantic piece is less barbed on that than his tweets the past 36 hours).

        Because endorsing democracy means pretending it’s perfect?

        That does not follow at all. You can believe that democracy is the best form of government (or, as Churchill put it, the worst except for all the others) and still recognize that it produces bad results from time to time.

        Toms assertion; it’s the electorates fault, is infantile and provably wrong proposition. The system of gvt is elected representation, which does not comprehensively encompass all of the issues that matter to all of the people all of the time.

        Who negotiated this with the Taliban and thought the Afghans should not be part of it? Why?
