@EricLevitz @mattyglesias @MattBruenig there is something deeper here than simply whether democrats support expert decision-making--it's whether you can construe modern liberalism as a democratizing force that empowers 'the people' to have more control over their lives at the expense of the elite — PolitiTweet.org

@EricLevitz @mattyglesias @MattBruenig today's version of liberalism has a lot more in common with its whig-liberal tradition than its left-liberal tradition. i think that's a proud tradition, but there's a reason it courts jacksonian democracy as a populist conservative alternative — PolitiTweet.org
