To the Editor:
Re “The Democratic Party Must Speak the Plain Truth to the President” (editorial, July 10):
Democrats cannot have it both ways. They cannot cast themselves as the party that speaks truth to power (confronting the mendaciousness of Donald Trump and MAGA) and avoid speaking uncomfortable truths in their own Democratic family. As The Times has stated, the whisper campaign to confront President Biden’s denial of his diminished state has failed.
Time is short. Every day that passes without Democrats formulating a new plan to defeat Donald Trump decreases their chances of success.
