Why We're Liberals

In "Why We're Liberals," Eric Alterman confronts the negative perceptions surrounding liberalism in American politics, highlighting that public-opinion polls reveal a majority of Americans hold liberal beliefs on issues like health care and foreign policy. This accessible primer offers a vigorous defense of liberal values against right-wing misinformation, debunking myths such as "Liberals Hate God" and "Liberals Are Soft on Terrorism." Alterman aims to restore liberalism to its rightful place as the voice of everyday citizens, making this book an essential read for anyone looking to engage in the political discourse.
