Joe Biden serves. This is how the voters of the Democratic primaries and the delegates to this strange remote convention have considered it, the new format of politics caused by the pandemic. This is also deduced from the numerous polls that give him an unusual advantage over the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, especially after the incorporation of Kamala Harris, the first citizen of Asian and African descent to aspire to the vice presidency.
There were doubts about his ability to respond to the challenge. It did not encourage his long political biography, 47 years since he was first elected senator from Delaware. Neither is his supporting role as Obama's vice president. Not his 77 years, which will place him as the most successful president in the history of the United States in case of victory. But, in the end, his flaws are turning into virtues for someone who wants to unite Democrats first, rally Republicans, and become the chief reconciler that unites all Americans.
Biden passed the test of his acceptance speech admirably, also the shortest in history due to the new demands of the television scripts that governed the Convention. And he offered exactly the image of a decent and reconciling future president in the face of the even moral disaster that Donald Trump represents. Also the alternative to Trump's blind reaction to the four crises the country is facing. Biden offers himself as the president who will stop the spread of covid-19, will know how to combat the recession, overcome racial discrimination and take measures against climate change instead of hiding his head under the wing.
The Democratic candidate has shown that he serves the task that has been entrusted: to end this disastrous stage. The current president has already blamed him for his entire political career, blaming him for whatever evils the country's system and economy may suffer, but now the meaning of that destructive desire that comes to whatever gets in the way of ambitions and whims is already very clear. Trumpists. Even the legendary US postal service, one of the country's unifying factors and the only voting instrument for its many displaced, is being eroded and undercapitalized from the White House, to muddy the presidential election and try to stop the wave of votes that they're going to head over to Biden.
Joe Biden is the best candidate to end the nightmare of a false president, an admirer of dictators, willing to escape the checks and balances of power and even to erode the plinth on which any democracy sits, such as the right to vote. The Democratic candidate can get it. Now he is the only one who can do this service to his country. It is not only the citizens of the United States who would regret it if, thanks to the deceptions and traps of their opponent, he did not succeed, despite the wave of optimism that his candidacy is raising.
