6 Significant Areas, Where Trump, And Biden, Differ!
How often have we heard, someone, in past elections, claim, he might not vote, because, it makes little, to no difference, and, they (all politicians) were the same, etc? In fact, during the Presidential election, of 2016, data indicates, as many, or more people, did not exercise their right to vote, than actually, voted! In addition, perhaps, because of the peculiarities, of the Electoral College, and, a candidate with the most popular votes, does not, always/ automatically, win, many potential voters have very little faith, in the American political system, or, the potential impact, their vote makes! After these last four years, many realize, who wins an election, often, makes a significant difference, and some fear, history – repeating – itself, in 2020! Polls and surveys, seem to indicate, approximately, 35% of the electorate, will vote for Trump, regardless, and 40% will automatically, oppose him, and vote, for nearly, anyone else! This means, potentially, the future of the Free World, and this great nation, will be determined by the other 25%, and, where they live, and vote! Whether one supports, opposes, or is, somewhat, neutral about the candidates/ nominees of the two major partiies, most agree, there is a significant difference, in the way, each, would probably, perform, in the role. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 6 significant area, where Trump, and Biden, differ.
1. Systemic Racism; Public Health: government services: Because of the murders of George Floyd, and a few others, there has been much attention, on the inherent areas of systemic racism, within this nation! It often seems, President Trump, prefers adversarial, polarizing leadership, while Biden’s career, indicates, 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, and law, and order, and applauding the police, while Joe Biden spoke to members of the impacted community, and his running mate, met with the man, wounded, seriously, during the interaction, We have witnessed, Trump’s approach to public health, often, denying science, and articulating a populist message, while, Biden’s emphasized, trusting the science, and the public health experts. A similar difference in mindset, is apparent, as it relates to human and government services, especially those required and needed, by our neediest communities, and citizens!
2. Empathy: We have never witnessed the present occupant of the White House, exhibit sincere, genuine empathy, often, stating, he was a stable genius, and knew more than the experts! On the other hand, his opponent emphasizes, taking the time, to effectively, listen, and learn, from every conversation, and experience!
3. Constitutional guarantees: Recently, Biden stated, he would respect the limitations, indicated, and implied by the U.S. Constitution, in terms of the powers, and authority of the Presidency. How many times, has the present one, apparently, exceeded those limits, and seemed, somewhat, disinterested, in Constitutional guarantees, especially, in terms of, maintaining the freedoms, rights, and liberties, for all.
4. International diplomacy: By removing us from several international agreements, including, NAFTA, and his oppositional approach, to NATO, WHO, United Nations, etc, Trump has alienated many of our historical allies, and, seemed to try to enhance, the relationship, with Russia, etc. It seems, Biden would proceed, in a manner, many might consider, more conventional/ normal!
5. Partisan politics: Although, we often, witness, far too much, partisan politics, the degree of polarization, exclusion, and extreme – partisan relationships, and actions, and Trump’s rhetoric/ vitriol, has been significant, and concerning, to many! Again, while his opponent, certainly, has certain, partisan preferences, he has, in the past, seemed willing, to reach, across the aisle, in an attempt to create, some sort of meeting – of – the – minds, for the greater good.
6. Environment/ Climate Change: Have we ever, in recent memory, remembered, any leader, of this nation, who so, seemed, to deny climate change, and/ or, minimize – it! In addition, Trump has reduced many regulations, which are designed to protect our environment, seeming to prioritize economic issues, over the sustainability of the planet. His opponent seems to have a more sustainable approach, to leading our nation!
There is a significant difference, between, how these two individuals, might serve, as President of the United States! They aren’t all the same!
