Thanks for this, David. As you know, I have written many essays about the election. I doubt I have changed any minds. However, I believe that my writing serves three important purposes.
First, it is important to me to express my ideas in writing. It helps me to think through the issues at a deeper level so that my writing makes sense
Thanks for this, David. As you know, I have written many essays about the election. I doubt I have changed any minds. However, I believe that my writing serves three important purposes.
First, it is important to me to express my ideas in writing. It helps me to think through the issues at a deeper level so that my writing makes sense
Second, it is important to my children and, especially, my five grandchildren that I speak out as forcefully as possible against the forces of darkness.
Third, my writing may equip those who agree with me to make more persuasive arguments with those who they speak with.
If I change one mind, great. If I don’t change any minds, I still think my writing about political matters is important. And I will continue doing so though with less frequency after the election.
I guess the line I’m drawing here isn’t so much about just writing about politics so much as thinking that writing about politics can make a meaningful impact on a presidential election.
