It was in late March, 2019, that I began to write more along the lines that began one of my op/eds:
In America we’ve come to a moment of truth that, I’ve come to realize, requires me to shift my focus from the defects on the Republican side to those on the Democratic side.
Here are some of my writings on that theme:
- America Needs the Democratic Party to Be Extraordinary
- How Biden Can Defeat Republican Obstructionism
- How Biden Should Play His Leadership Role in the Face of the Likely Lawlessness of the Incumbent
- America’s Sickness of Spirit Goes Deeper Than I Imagined
- Voters Punish Weakness
- How a Moral Crisis Underlies America’s Political Crisis
- This Battle Over the Trump Presidency Is So Much Bigger than Just Trump
- Democrats Underestimate How Much American Voters Punish Weakness
- Through the Prism of World War II (Can America Rise to This Occasion?)
- The Democrats’ Moment of Truth 5/19/19
- How a Moral Crisis Underlies America’s Political Crisis
- The Real Political Peril in Impeachment is to the Republicans, not the Democrats (5/8/19)
- How the Democrats Can Fight This More Powerfully
- Hoping this Time Democrats Will Avoid Their “Characteristic Error”
- Can the Democrats Find Their Churchill for 2020?
