GP and Amanda Marcotte on Sam Seder’s Majority Report at Netroots Nation

Posted without much comment for (hopefully) obvious reasons, though I will add that Amanda Marcotte makes great sense throughout the interview.



Topics range from uppers to downers. I'll add in downers' defense that it's an aspect of the doctrine of American Exceptionalism that it's impossible to do lasting damage to the country — in other words, that America is bulletproof. I don't think that's right, but only in the sense that it's always possible to do yourself lasting damage.

Two small corrections: ALEC is the American Legislative Exchange Council (I missed the exact title). And Amanda was indeed the source of the idea that right-wing issues are a dying force, since they depend on an aging and dying populace that holds those views; smart point.

For the rest, offered for your amusement and consideration.
