Wow. Truly stunned to see @RonaldKlain blocked me. Someone with whom I've had nothing but respectful exchanges and who even wrote a blurb for my book. I've never once said anything negative about him -- or to him.

Is it simply because my views are more progressive?
To be clear: I completely understand that the Dem leaders and strategists I worked with for years consider me part of the "angry, unreasonable left" now.

But I reached a breaking point, where I just couldn't accept Dem excuses for why the far right is always gaining ground.
Also: I block freely if someone comes at me with smears instead of arguments or if they accuse me of helping Trump because I support progressive policies.

But I never block just because someone has a different perspective. In fact, I follow people across the political spectrum.
