Freedom of association, which inherently includes a right to disassociate, is an important part of freedom.

In working out the bounds of socially acceptable expression, of which every society has some, shame is useful, a civil alternative to violence.

Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!
Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before.
