Biden understands

In answer to Gordon Swaim’s question in his letter: Joe Biden would be a better president because he understands how government works, he knows history, and he knows the Constitution, none of which the current president has given signs of knowing or understanding.

Biden would never say the president “can do anything” he wants because he is the president.

Biden has true empathy for the suffering or grieving; Donald Trump seems incapable of empathy for anything beyond his own interests. Biden will not use his position to denigrate the handicapped. He will respect other countries, including those that Trump has referred to as s***holes. Biden will not insult longtime allies of the United States, nor will he uplift and have a bromance with ruthless, murdering dictators

Biden will listen to advisers and scientists. He doesn’t have an ego that will lead to his firing anyone who disagrees with him so that maybe there could be some stability in the administration. Biden will use language to uplift and unite, not insult and tear down. Trump promised to build a wall and he has indeed done so, but not the wall promised; it is a wall built of disrespect, distrust, and scorn. He is tearing this beautiful but flawed country apart with his snarling tweets, his base behavior and ego-driven bragging.

There are many more reasons Biden will be a better president. He will work to heal the wounds and patch the damaged international relations the United States is enduring as the rest of world looks at us with pity and amazement that such could happen here in the once most admired and copied country in the world.
