perspective, highplains

Hope that isn't too "normal" for those who don't want it!

Critics have suggested that Biden wants a “throwback” presidency. But his campaign is not about a restoration of a time gone by, but rather a realization of an American promise not yet achieved. When he calls for a country based on the timeless principle that government should check the abuse of power, this isn’t a gauzy appeal to a time before Trump, but rather a bold statement of the kind of future we can build together if we are willing to try. It is exactly what we need in a time of powerful forces trying to arrest social and economic progress.

Brilliant!
