NEW YORKER: Pete Buttigieg on impeachment, health care and rejecting being labeled as a "neoliberal":

Because it’s outlived its usefulness. Look, I led the field in proposing Democratic reforms that, to this day, some candidates supposedly on my left haven’t embraced. I also am a candidate who believes that Medicare for All is not as attractive as Medicare for All Who Want It, which gives people the choice. So one of those, you might say, puts me on the center. Another one puts me further out. There’s a position on criminal-justice reform that not only I and fellow-Democrats hold but some conservatives and libertarians are starting to embrace. And so we’re living through a real scrambling of some of these ideological labels. And I think that’s a healthy thing.

Theater breeds emotional risks; the fire of each moment is palpable. Madonna knows this. An arena won’t start revolutions, but a musical confrontation a half-foot away will.
