South Florida Sun-Sentinel endorsement: Save our democracy. Vote for Joe Biden
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editorials/fl-op-edit-endorsement-joe-biden-20200823-jfla4dpm55g7vksh4n2c2vlo5a-story.htmlA republic, Madam, if you can keep it — Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia, 1787, when asked what the Constitutional Convention had proposed
The question that Franklin answered 233 years ago overshadows every other issue in the presidential election. It is why we recommend, with enthusiasm and a sense of urgency, that voters elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to be the president and vice president of the United States. In so doing, the American people will answer whether our representative democracy, under the rule of law, is still worth keeping.
-snipping the rest of the lengthy endorsement, except for the last two paragraphs-
The presidency is, as Teddy Roosevelt put it, a “bully pulpit.”
Trump has profaned that pulpit. Joe Biden will fill it with honor.
