“is one of the most thoughtful voices in defending liberalism and democratic institutions in our country,” Khanna tweeted on Monday, adding he
“learned a lot” from him about

“a discussion about strengthening liberalism and liberal institutions with people you disagree” is important for pluralistic democracy.
