Thanks for watching, Josh.

You didn't even come close to *attempting* to answer my question. My guess is because you cannot.

All democratic socialists being objectively illiberal

It's a good point. Kristol left the Republican party 4 years ago, apparently.

Matt endorsed Bernie in 2016. Has Bernie become post-liberal since then? And who's Casar? And what's post-liberal about Mamdani?

Well that's disappointing.

I guess he's thinking of Bill Kristol? Like, I suppose Kristol's a "liberal" in the sense that he thinks that elections should happen and that presidents shouldn't have dictatorial powers.

Right, yes, if the best Yglesias can point to as evidence of a post-liberal faction gaining ground in Dem circles is Matt Stoller, then there truly is absolutely nothing here, and I can go back to my Sunday nap.

Matt, I ask this as a genuine fan: who, specifically, are some noteworthy leaders of the post-liberal faction that you see gaining ground within the Democratic party? Because I'm having trouble identifying any. What/who am I missing?

Since it's so clear to you, could you please identify some of the notable leaders of the "post-liberal" faction which is supposedly gaining ground within the Democratic party? Because, I confess: I cannot.

Amen. Just gimme 3 names. If this post-liberal faction is supposedly "gaining ground" within the Democratic party, it shouldn't be hard for Matt to name 3 of 'em.

Who are the most prominent elected Dems who fit into this alleged "increasingly pro-authoritarian" faction? Like, what are their names?

I'm positive I'm missing your point, so apologies, but I'm really not seeing "post-liberal elements" "gaining ground among Dems" no matter how the confilct is framed (partisan, generational, or any other way).

And neither one is quite true! I mean, that toaster... eh, I guess I can *kinda* see the face, *maybe*???

t-shirt, questions, answered by, etc.

cheeseburgers were *this close* to being banned. this freakin' close!!!

Just asking execution questions! A man can't ask questions?

Olivia wasn't rewarded though, she was exiled to "the edge of the earth" (Malibu)

I feel like you guys might both be right.

"The Perfect Storm", "Into the Wild", and "Into Thin Air" all went down in an eye-blink.

Crap, I was gonna guess you, but you didn't give me a chance to get my guess in.

Welcome, new neighbors! From next door in Culver City!

That's my understanding too. Apparently that's not okay. I didn't know that, and neither did Lindsay Halligan. But I'm not interim United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and she is.
