There are many ways to look at the race. The media highlight only one or two which serve their own purposes. Primarily, the rich owners of media are telling voters that Pres. Biden is a nice old man who is no longer capable of being president. They also said the same thing 4 years ago. The New York Times owner doesn't like that Pres. Biden refused an interview. Right-Wing media FOX News and the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal are owned by one man, Rupert Murdoch, and he naturally has his new outlets telling everyone that Pres. Biden is the worst president we've ever had and the nation is in terrible shape and on the verge of disaster. The truth is closer to danger from Donald Trump.
More factually, the American people have seen these two men for some years now, and what they know is that Joe Biden is a long-time politician who knows the work of the presidency and has done it fairly well. We have low unemployment, good relations with our international partners and we are supporting Democracy in Ukraine while trying to settle a very long-term feud in the Middle-East. Everyone also knows that Donald Trump lies constantly, has been convicted of rape and 34 felonies related to his affair with a porn star and hiding that from the public during the last presidential campaign. He's also been charged with stealing U.S. top secret documents and refusing to return them. He's also been charged with attempting to overthrow the government in January 2021. These are not secrets from anyone.
Has Donald Trump EVER done anything for America? He promised to pass legislation to do infrastructure work, but he opposed it when the possibility actually arose. He said he would have Mexico pay for a wall between America and Mexico. Furthermore, he didn't do that. Instead, he supported the separation of immigrant children from their parents and then hiding them away from the world. Where were those children? What happened to them? He now says he would abandon Ukraine to Russia, presumably before abandoning the U.S. & NATO relationship. He would weaken America and our allies rather than strengthening those ties.
Voters know all this, but the media told Americans that Joe Biden spoke weakly during the debate and that was all that matters.
I want to know when there will be a trial of the charges against Donald Trump for stealing secret documents and hiding them, perhaps even selling them to American enemies. I want to know when the Republicans in America will wake up and realize Donald Trump is a bad man.
Any of the available qualified Democrats who could be president would be good to have, but right now Joe Biden is the president and he has been doing pretty well. He's honest, knows how to do the job, has done it well, and should be supported. Donald Trump is a liar, a cheat, a traitor, a criminal, and should be tried for his crimes. This is the most stark difference between two candidates that America has (perhaps) ever had. It's a clear difference and one which should produce a huge victory for Joe Biden.
But, the media are willfully blind and don't like him. Which is more important for American voters, that the media be satisfied or that their needs be met? I say Joe Biden is the obvious choice. Let's not get confused about that.
