Expanding on his New York Times op-ed piece, “The End of Identity Liberalism,” published just days after Trump’s election, Lilla argues that 2016 marked the end of a political era. While the right faces the deterioration of libertarianism into populist demagoguery, the left has to admit that identity politics has failed. To reinvigorate the Democratic Party and achieve real political change, progressives must stop relying on symbolic politics and pursuing narrow social movements. Instead, Democrats have to focus on encouraging solidarity and developing an expansive vision of national destiny, one grounded in building a government that helps all Americans. Lilla, Professor of Humanities at Columbia and a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books and other publications, has written a well-reasoned analysis of liberalism’s last two decades and a bracing polemic for the future.
Lilla is in conversation with Sean Illing, interviews writer for Vox.

Yes!! Foundational principles. If enacting policies based on principles better everyone, regardless of group identity, then everyone of different identity groups gets help. Not discussed is that identity groups as defined by leaders of Ouse groups often exclude members of those groups who don't agree with the ideas of the leaders. It's why principles matter, not identity politics.
There are a number of studies on diversity and inclusion that point to the challenge of identifying differences rather than identifying commonality.
I really like how his primary message isn't that the Democratic party needs to change, but that its spin-doctors need to be fired and the propaganda made more efficient. There's 50 Republicans saying the same thing about their party, too.
It is time that anyone considering themselves to be intellectual in outlook forgo naive party politics.
Explore the pronouncements of those who condemn the Democrat Party from the progressive left
along with those of the right who find serious fault with the Republican Party and you will find agreement. Fervor that government be transparent and seek broad public good is expressed from those quarters. Debate will be had yet it will be debate founded on respect on both sides since the
intermediary will be respected. Are these gentlemen conscious of what has transpired since the assassination of JFK. Our country lost a leader capable of shaping a more positive message for the
public at large. Parties be damned.
I like this guy!
His book is far more impressive than he is personally. This is often the case which is why sometimes intellectuals are best read and not seen. 😉
I could've easily watched another hour of him taking, and explicating his ideas. Very enjoyable
am half way through. Have these people never heard of bernie Sanders!?
Manfred Byron you've obviously never listened to a speech of his properly. he's been saying the same things for many, many years. About the world as a whole, and the way this country runs itself. And things have only become worse And worse. The time has come for his message to be heard and adhered to. Our world is at a tipping point. Either we listen to him or there will be no returning from this
Bernie has to mix his message of economic welfarism with a bit of cultural conservatism and that's a movement that might go somewhere.
He has similar views as 1950s republicans.
A woman asked a question re Bernie Sanders & he answered. You need to listen to the whole thing. He said that Bernie is stuck in the economics of a different era. Bernie is also mentioned later. Watch the whole thing.
He's calling for many more "Sister Soulja" moments. That is when bill Clinton shut down a black critic in the 1990s.
What nonsense. He's calling to get back into debate, not to end it like American puritans love to do, based on some scripture be it the Bible or Judith Butler.
He had me till he started talking about undermining communities that dont kill babies.
