A vote for Biden, a vote for Trump

Editor: I am voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris not because they are Democrats, but because they are the rational choice.

Donald Trump is an irrational science denier who has ignored the advice of medical experts to wear a mask and social distance in public. He could have at least been a good role model for Americans to follow and better control the coronavirus epidemic. Besides not establishing a national program to control the virus, he has made false and misleading statements about COVID-19. Trump has let each individual state do all the work of regulating, treating, reporting and controlling the virus.

The job of president of the U.S. is a difficult, complex, demanding job requiring the organization, know how, and experience to delegate and lead with strength and compassion. Every day, I pray for a world ruled by peace, love, understanding, kindness, caring, sharing, respect, tolerance, humility, fairness, justice, equality, wisdom, compassion, common sense, critical thinking, honestly and courage to speak the truth and do what is right. Donald Trump possesses none of these qualities.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris reflect these qualities in their personal and political lives. Together, they have the political experience and know how to organize, lead, unite, and get this nation back on its feet. Truth over lies, hope over fear. Please vote Biden and Harris for a brighter, braver, stronger, and more honest United States of America.
