How many times have we heard someone, in past elections, claim that they could not vote, because it makes little or no difference, and they (all politicians) were the same, etc.? In fact, during the 2016 presidential elections, the data indicates that many, or more people, did not exercise their right to vote, than those who actually voted! Also, perhaps, due to the peculiarities, of the Electoral College, and, a candidate with the most popular votes, not always / automatically, wins, many potential voters have very little faith, in the American political system, or, the potential impact, your vote does! After these past four years, many realize that whoever wins an election often makes a significant difference, and somewhat scary, history, repeating itself, in 2020! Polls and polls seem to indicate roughly 35% of the electorate will vote for Trump, regardless, and 40% will automatically oppose him and vote for almost anyone else. This potentially means that the future of the Free World, and of this great nation, will be determined by the other 25% and, where they live, and they will vote! Whether one supports, opposes, or is somehow neutral to the candidates / nominees of the two major parties, the majority agrees, there is a significant difference in how each would likely play their role. . With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review, and discuss a significant area where Trump and Biden differ.
1. Systemic racism; Public Health: Government Services: Due to the murders of George Floyd and a few others, much attention has been paid to the inherent areas of systemic racism within this nation! It often seems that President Trump prefers antagonistic and polarizing leadership, while Biden’s career indicates that he tries to bring people together for the common good. When each man traveled to Wisconsin, after the recent shooting, by a police officer, the president articulated a message, focused on fears, law and order, and applauded the police, while Joe Biden spoke with members. of the affected community: and his running mate, met the man, seriously injured, during the interaction. We have witnessed Trump’s approach to public health, often denying science and articulating a populist message, while, Biden emphasized, relying on science and public health experts. A similar difference in mindset is evident as it relates to human and government services, especially those required and needed, by our communities and citizens most in need!
two. Empathy: We have never witnessed the current occupant of the White House displaying sincere and genuine empathy, often claiming that he was a steady genius and knew more than the experts. On the other hand, your opponent emphasizes, taking the time, to listen and learn effectively, from every conversation and experience.
3. Constitutional guarantees: Recently, Biden said, it would respect the limitations, indicated and implicit in the Constitution of the United States, in terms of the powers and authority of the Presidency. How many times, it seems, the current one has exceeded those limits and has seemed, somewhat, disinterested, in the constitutional guarantees, especially, regarding the maintenance of the liberties, rights and liberties for all.
Four. International diplomacy: By taking us out of various international agreements, including, NAPHTHA, and his oppositional approach, to NATO, WHO, United Nations, etc., Trump has alienated many of our historical allies and, he seemed to try to improve, the relationship with Russia, etc. It seems that Biden would proceed, in a way that many might consider, more conventional / normal!
5. Party politics: Although we often witness too many partisan politics, the degree of polarization, exclusion and extreme partisan relations and actions, and Trump’s rhetoric / vitriol, it has been significant and concerning to many! Once again, while your opponent certainly has certain partisan preferences, in the past he seemed willing to reach across the aisle in an attempt to create some kind of meeting of minds for the highest good.
6. Environment / Climate Change: Have we ever remembered, in recent memory, a leader of this nation who seemed to deny climate change and / or downplay it? In addition, Trump has lowered many regulations, which are designed to protect our environment, seeming to prioritize economic problems, over the sustainability of the planet. Your opponent seems to have a more sustainable approach to leading our nation!
There is a significant difference between how these two individuals could serve as President of the United States! They are not all the same!
