So if engaging with the right-wing trolls serves their ends, not ours, we should not engage with them. If these trolls cannot be banned, they should be ignored.
All this is particularly pertinent to the "Press the Battle" series I've been presenting here. The premise of that series is that a serious blow in the political battle could be delivered if Liberal America roused itself to bring certain ideas - central to understanding the crisis now confronting our nation -- into the national conversation. It's an effort that can only succeed if people work together to make it succeed.
Engaging with right-wing trolls is a distraction and counter-productive. The question should be kept in mind: what kind of discussion will advance us toward our goals?
