Conversation or violence. That’s the ultimate choice. You can’t have both. Anyone who celebrates violence has no fucking idea what it’s like to live in real political disorder and their ignorance is a luxury of having lived a privileged life in a stable society.
There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.
@NickKristof For most women, having kids=financial entrapment. If you don't *want* kids, you don't *need* a partner. As an unwed, happily partnered, childless-by-choice elder Millennial, I see why some would skip the partner, if the right 1 wasn't available. Good article.
