Of the Patriarch
I believe I’ve discovered two or three of my acquaintances, who didn’t see the Biden-Trump debate and, subsequently, didn’t specific an opinion. However they are going to undoubtedly see the subsequent one.
We now have turn into just like the taxi drivers in Athens, who all know Cyprus, as a result of they fought in ’74 (now they’re their youngsters) and so they know extra tips than Chuck Norris and extra plot than Velopoulos.
Due to this fact, expertise has made it doable for everybody to have an opinion, even from those that desire to not choose a fly on their sword, about the place America goes, what what occurs till november and what comes after the election.
As for the talk, we aren’t debating it. Everybody noticed it, although they do not communicate a phrase of English and on the time of the published they had been of their fourth dream!
Let’s ignore that and get to the purpose.
I admit I did not watch the telefight dwell and I sat down to observe the primary occasions the subsequent day whereas additionally studying the feedback from the US media.
Nicely, I noticed a Biden that made you maintain your breath as as to if he would make it by way of the subsequent hour and naturally you could not think about that he would make it by way of the subsequent 4 years.
Then again, I noticed Trump, with extra powers clearly, but additionally with extra vanity and hazard.
If I had to decide on between the 2, I might select Biden with my eyes closed, assured that democracy will work within the US and never let the ship go on the rocks, realizing that the Vice -sit Kamala Harris there.
I concern Trump, as a result of he’s a consultant of the sickest factor in American historical past to date. Conspiracy theorist, not conscious of how diplomacy works and too assured in his talents, that are quite restricted.
However even when Trump is lastly elected, the democratic reactions of US establishments will nonetheless work, limiting the injury.
Ideally, neither would go to the polls and the extra mature, extra critical and wiser Democrats and Republicans would have second ideas.
There may be time, as a result of when democracy is threatened, it might go down, however it finds options.
