The Right Lives To Fight Culture Wars. I Used To Be That Way

A Conversation That Wouldn’t Have Happened 8 Yrs Ago
I sat down with author and former Obama speechwriter David Litt. We talked about his new book “It’s Only Drowning,” the scary state of our politics, the future of the Democratic Party, how to find common ground, and where to find hope these days. 8yrs ago, he and I were on opposite sides.
