Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump is not the race America needs, but it is the one we deserve.
A political system that has spit out a race few voters want is the perfect symbol of a nation – and a people – bent to the point of breaking.
Biden vs. Trump appears to be a welcome diversion in a country whose government seems unequipped to face its biggest challenges and whose people are increasingly unwilling to take responsibility for their own problems. Eight months arguing about two angry old men – hearing our own side praise us to the hilt while blaming every woe on the other – is time we don’t have to spend confronting our own difficulties. Historic declines in life expectancy, jaw-dropping rates of obesity, and rising truancy among students are just a few of the ways we the people are running off the rails.
