They have bought into the central ideological proposition, peddled by apparatchiks and consultants aligned with the conservative movement, that America is an incorrigible 'center-right' nation, and they have precious little strategy or inclination to move that consensus leftward-to fight, in other words, to change the national consensus the sort of activity that was once understood as 'politics'". In June 2019, staff writer Alex Pareene wrote: "All the while, Democratic leaders continue to campaign and govern from a crouched, defensive position even after they win power.
Pragmatism doesn't track as a legislative argument, either". In February 2019, staff writer Alex Shephard wrote that "it doesn't make political sense to put bumpers on hypothetical policies, which dampens voter enthusiasm. In May 2019, The New Republic published a roundtable on socialism where three of four contributions were favorable, while the owner and editor-in-chief, Win McCormack, wrote a more dismissive piece. In The American Conservative, Telly Davidson wrote that "its love letters to the Bernie Bro and Millennial Marxist movements and its attacks on Hillary and the Democratic establishment from the left, instead of from the right, bring back memories of its decidedly radical days in the '30s and '40s". In its current incarnation, The New Republic has been unambiguously to the political left and is often critical of the Democratic Party establishment and strongly in favor of universal health care. A weekly or near-weekly for most of its history, the magazine currently publishes ten issues per year. The magazine was sold in February 2016 to Win McCormack, under whom the publication has returned to a more progressive stance. In early 2016, Hughes announced he was putting the magazine up for sale, indicating the need for "new vision and leadership". In 2014, two years after Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes purchased the magazine, he ousted its editor and attempted to remake its format, operations, and partisan stances, provoking the resignation of the majority of its editors and writers.
Through the 1980s and 1990s, the magazine incorporated elements of the Third Way and conservatism.
Founded in 1914 by several leaders of the progressive movement, it attempted to find a balance between "a liberalism centered in humanitarian and moral passion and one based in an ethos of scientific analysis". The New Republic is an American magazine of commentary on politics, contemporary culture, and the arts.
