But my better angels say that the Dems shouldn't even be having this discussion. In America of the year 2000, it just shouldn't matter if you're a Jew, a black, a gay or anything else. And by acknowledging the prejudice in this way, we almost imply that it's ok. B ut then again, in America today, those things still do matter. Yet, all the more reason our political leaders need to rise above the fray and make it clear that that kind of calculus won't be tolerated.
P erhaps the issue is moot.
