Rolling Stone Endorses Biden: Trump Is "Categorically Unfit to Be President"

Source: PoliticusUSA

“Fortunately for America, Joe Biden is Donald Trump’s opposite in nearly every category: The Democratic presidential nominee evinces competence, compassion, steadiness, integrity, and restraint,” the editors write. “Perhaps most important in this moment, Biden holds a profound respect for the institutions of American democracy, as well as a deep knowledge about how our government — and our system of checks and balances — is meant to work; he aspires to lead the nation as its president, not its dictator.”

The magazine criticized Trump for his response to the coronavirus pandemic, noting that his leadership has “left 215,000 of us and counting dead from a serious but preventable public-health crisis, tens of millions out of work or underemployed,” Additionally, Trump has left “a cataclysmic climate crisis ignored, our democratic institutions in disrepair, and the public’s faith in its elected representatives at an all-time low.”

Electing Biden, the magazine recommends, would be the “first step” to America “stepping back from this precipice,” noting that Biden “envisions a revival anchored in unity.” Lauding his progressive plans on issues ranging from the climate crisis to racial justice and LGBT rights, the magazine observes Biden has the ingredients restore the nation’s “national character.”

For all the readers of RS who were on the fence, this may swing it.
hahaha No one who subscribes to Rolling Stone likes Trump. Ted Nugent wouldn't buy one if he was on the freakin cover.
