USA Elections: The Democratic Party Convention – Day 2: July 26, 2016

We’ve now officially passed the halfway point of the Democratic National Convention. Former president Bill Clinton was the main attraction of Tuesday night’s speaking lineup, but Fix Boss Chris Cillizza managed to pick some other winners and losers too.

In 1934, at the dawn of the Stalinist Terror, the Great Russian writer Isaac Babel offered a daring quip at the International Writers Conference in Moscow:

“Everything is given to us by the party and the government. Only one right is taken away: the right to write badly.”

A onetime Soviet loyalist who was eventually shot as an enemy of the state, Babel was likely trying to say something profound: that the freedom to make mistakes is itself an essential component of freedom. Continue reading →
