Ask Democrats how they should respond to Republicans’ attacks on racial matters and they splinter into a kaleidoscope of perspectives.

Some want the Democratic Party to fully embrace diversity as its “superpower,” as Robinson put it. Others urge Democrats to employ 1990s-style triangulation — making a show of denouncing activist slogans like “defund the police,” as Biden did during his State of the Union address.

Some, mainly party insiders who would not speak on the record, would rather change the subject to so-called kitchen table issues like infrastructure, jobs and health care, where they feel Democrats are on a stronger footing.

Others say Democrats can do both.
