Hello, boys and girls. Name’s David Schraub, currently blogger on The Debate Link, and the latest member of Joe’s harem. I’m important enough to blog here, but apparently not quite important enough to have my name spelled right–it’s SCHRAUB, not SCHAUB. Oh well, we’ll get there.
A bit about myself. I’m currently entering my Sophomore year at Carleton College, in Northfield, Minnesota. In high school, I was a four year debater, where I learned both how to argue and how to listen. I used to be a self-described Democratic Socialist, but now I identify more with the New Republic wing of the Democratic party. I’m a liberal hawk who believes strongly in Democratization and American interventionism to stop genocide and other atrocities. Oh, and I maintain my connection to fringe leftism via a healthy obsession with post-modernism, Critical Race Theory, and other kooky left-wing theories. In short, I’m politically schizophrenic–much like all of you.
I’m really excited to be here–hopefully, I’ll manage to say something vaguely interesting across the course of my tenure. So, Joe, thanks again for bringing me aboard, and let the games begin!
