I'm a new subscriber who has already cancelled once because of things I've read here that deeply offend me. Cathy Young became rather uncomfortable after my comment, but when I wrote it I was furious at the smug racism I encountered in her newsletter. I'm very close to cancelling a second and final time.

There are some critical issues treated here that elicit strong feelings across the board. On behalf of the Bulwark, I want to say that I believe the publisher and writers are attempting to make a good faith effort to address their topics in a way that is at least explicable to everyone from Never-Trump conservatives, of which I am one, to Democrats who may not agree with them on everything but can find some merit in their positions. I have pointedly questioned several of the writers on individual issues and am exasperated by what Cathy Young has done the past two Sundays, but I really believe, again, that they are making a good faith effort. Everyone has to decide for himself or herself if that effort is sufficient. I myself may or may not continue reading, but I have found a lot of value here over the past 3 years or so.
I agree. The Bulwark is making a Noble Effort to keep the monsters from overtaking our Government, and another Nobel Effort to open an effective forum for Americans of all political POVs to attempt to find solutions, and to try (in spite of our disagreements) to actually communicate with restraint and civility, as we wade through the muck raining down on us all, politically, environmentally, and medically. The world has never been here before... and if we are to survive at all, we only have each other to rely on. But oh yeah... it's a mess and I sometimes am enraged by what I read here. But only sometimes. And on balance, this is a really great community!
