Ask Ezra Anything
Summary
It’s here. The final AMA of 2019. Among the questions you asked:
- If you believe that changing someone's mind about a topic, any topic is difficult, how do you function as a journalist?
- What’s your opinion on capitalism?
- What have you learned about yourself since being a dad that has surprised you the most?
- You talk a lot about polarization. But it seems your audience leans liberal. So how do you reconcile that?
- Do you believe in free will?
- What’s your take on the left/liberal divide?
- Red wine or white wine?
- We know 2020 will come down to a small collection of swing states. Shouldn’t the Democrats just run whichever candidate will be strongest in those states?
- What’s with Vox and NBER papers?
- What would get journalists to leave Twitter?
- What happens if Trump loses the election but refuses to leave office?
All this, plus you get to hear from the mysterious Jeff Geld…
