To the editor:
It’s hard to argue with columnist Jonah Goldberg’s characterization of the upcoming Democratic primary as “an emotive contest to prove who cares the most.” But Goldberg neglects to assess his own party’s most recent primary.
Consider how Democrats and independents typically view the 2016 GOP primary: It amounted to a demagogic contest to establish which candidate could most persuasively dog-whistle his entrenched bigotry against ethnic and religious minorities.
Really, is it so inexcusable for Democratic candidates to respond to President Trump’s divisive white nationalism by claiming to care for all Americans?
