It is long past time for us to begin again to approach leftist critique and strategy by determining what our social and governmental priorities should be and focusing our attention on building the kind of popular movement capable of realizing that vision.”) and “Exit Right” and “Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens” and “Abortion Rights Landslide at the Polls”
