Once upon a time... Cohen and McGovern would have been at the heart of 'liberal/left' opinion in the United States, probably because they epitomise 'old school' liberal/left' opinion. Back in the day proper 'radicals' whould have dismissed them as 'conservatives'! which kind of illustrates the political and cultural shifts in the United States over the last few decades. A desert created in large part by the Clintons taking over the Democratic Party and the moderate Republican, Obama, who paved the way for Trump. Cohen used to take it for granted that if he wrote something, the liberal press would publish it without any problems. But all that changed. It changed when he began to openly critise the Obama administration. Without the 'left' breaking with the Democrats, or kicing the Clintons out completely, I don't no how they ever hope to recover.
