For those who are dismayed by the choices available in the coming presidential election, I suggest there is only one reasonable choice, and that is Joe Biden. Yes, he is old, and for some, too much of a centrist, not progressive enough. For others, he is too liberal.
But what are the alternatives?
Donald Trump? I think it should be clear to everyone by now that this man is not suitable in character or temperament. His legal and financial problems alone are too much of a distraction for him to be able to do the job of president in any responsible way. He apparently wants to get back into the Oval Office for purely self-serving reasons, which include avoiding consequences for past transgressions.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Really? I don’t think he’s a serious option in these dangerous times. We must remember that the president is not alone in leading the country. Biden has a capable Cabinet and many trusted advisers. If he is reelected, there will be hope, and the possibility of reform.
