Future of Democracy Leaders Divided on Policies
Henry Watterson argues Democrats must think together before acting and mocks the party’s shifting loyalties. He contrasts Jeffersonian, Lincolnian, and Rooseveltian strains, laments the rise of a new, frenzied democracy, and questions where future leaders will come from. He questions Lincoln’s place in Democratic memory and hints at the political peril if Watterson’s call to unity is ignored.
