My own view falls somewhere in between that of my colleagues and their critics. On basic economic issues, I think Democrats have plenty of room to adopt a more progressive agenda. Substantively, that’s a smart agenda for an economy suffering from severe inequality and climate change. Politically, it fits with the populist, progressive views [that most Americans hold](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfAG-xP0TiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOC8wNC8yMy9vcGluaW9uL2RlbW9jcmF0cy1lY29ub21pY3MuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTA3MDQ_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA2ODQmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDkyMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDcwNFcDbnl0QgoAHbHqHV1texY3Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) on economic matters. Higher taxes on the rich, to take one example, are extremely popular. But just because the Democrats have room to move to the left on some issues doesn’t mean they’re wise to move to the left on all of them. And I think the arguments — both substantively and politically — are much weaker for some of the policies Democrats are now pushing. Free college for all ends up helping a lot of affluent families who don’t need help (as Pete Buttigieg has done [a nice job](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfAG-xP0TTaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmJjbmV3cy5jb20vdmlkZW8vcGV0ZS1idXR0aWdpZWctb24td2h5LWhlLWRvZXNuLXQtc3VwcG9ydC1mcmVlLWNvbGxlZ2UtZm9yLWFsbC02MjgzMzczMzU5Mj9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDY4NCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0OTIwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAHbHqHV1texY3Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) of explaining). Trying to abolish private health insurance will lead to an epic political fight that will crowd out every other issue, including climate change. And abandoning the party’s traditional support for rigorous immigration enforcement would encourage more illegal immigration.

I recognize that many progressives are to my left on at least one of these issues, and I respect their substantive arguments. But the political case strikes me as much weaker, especially on immigration and health care. Most Americans aren’t in favor of [a more open immigration policy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfAG-xP0TLaHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdzLmdhbGx1cC5jb20vb3Bpbmlvbi9wb2xsaW5nLW1hdHRlcnMvMjQ2NjY1L2ltbWlncmF0aW9uLXB1YmxpYy1vcGluaW9uLWNvbmdyZXNzLmFzcHg_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA2ODQmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDkyMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKAB2x6h1dbXsWN1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) or [the banning of private health insurance](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfAG-xP0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wMS8zMC9vcGluaW9uL21lZGljYXJlLWthbWFsYS1oYXJyaXMtZGVtb2NyYXRzLTIwMjAuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTA3MDQ_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA2ODQmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDkyMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDcwNFcDbnl0QgoAHbHqHV1texY3Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
