U.S. Democracy Hangs on Two Men’s Egos
Trump and Biden each believes that he alone can fix it. One will wreck it; the other could.
Nice bit of bothsidesism there.

“Biden, for all his flaws, represents a compromise between the activist left of the party and its moderate center,” writes Washington Post columnist Ruy Teixeira.
Still, those I’ve observed — Shirley Chisholm, Liddy Dole, Hillary Clinton, and the unabashedly left-wing New Ager Marianne Williamson — have not apparently confused qualification with irreplaceability.
