There are two forms of populism, left-wing populism and right-wing populism. Right-wing populism requires the denigration of an Other. Left-wing populism tends to be about the haves and have-nots.

I don't think there will be fascism in America, but we have to do everything we can to fight against it.
David Remnick
I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.
David Remnick
Being an editor it's a complicated job, but the last impression I'd want anybody to have is that it's onerous. It's a joy - a complicated joy, but a joy.

Instagram - it's fun, but Facebook, no, just here and there. I use Instagram as a kick, like when somebody tells me to check out so-and-so's Instagram account to check out their French toast or a trip to Tanzania. But I don't have an account.

A huge constituency, such as Hispanics, is not 100 percent Democratic.
David Remnick
I would like to see Russia not invade Ukraine or put pressure on and threaten Baltic states. But we live in the real and existing world.

The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.

I've never encountered someone in public life who has less desire to hold office than Michelle Obama, though she is incredibly gifted at retail politics.

I live in a country where, at least by my sense of arithmetic and justice, Al Gore should have been president, not George W. Bush. To this day, John Kerry probably thinks he won Ohio in 2004 because he had suspicions about the vote in Ohio. And, by the way, Richard Nixon had suspicions in 1960 about the vote in Chicago when he lost to JFK.
David Remnick
Vladimir Putin wants to become the de facto head of an illiberal, xenophobic, hypernationalist trend in world politics.
David Remnick
Donald Trump lies with astonishing frequency and in stunning volume.
David Remnick
Trump's rise is troubling not just on an American level but on an international level.

I understand the difference between journalism and scholarship that comes 20 years later.
David Remnick
Mobile is great for us. I think, even though the size of the screen doesn't give everything The New Yorker has to offer, people are spending a lot of time reading - and reading seriously - on the phone.
David Remnick
Capitalism in Russia has spawned far more Al Capones than Henry Fords.
David Remnick
I left Gorbachev's office thinking that everything about him was outsized: his achievements, his mistakes, and, now, his vanity and bitterness.
David Remnick
I think the Electoral College is an absurd 18th-century construct. But that is the law.
David Remnick
My deep sense of alarm has to do with Donald Trump's seeming lack of fealty to constitutionalism.
David Remnick
Disaster can take a nation by surprise, slowly, and then all at once.

I'm interested in Russian language, culture, history... and I lived there, for four years, as a reporter for the Washington Post and have visited many times since.
