Palm Beach Post endorses: For the sake of our now fragile democracy, Biden for president

Rarely have so many Americans yearned so strongly to remove a sitting president.

Count The Palm Beach Post Editorial Board among them.

Donald J. Trump’s intentionally divisive presidency is hurtling us toward the most alarming threat to American democracy that any of us has ever seen. For the first time, we have a president who cannot bring himself to commit to the peaceful transition of power. In many other countries, across many centuries, this road often has led to bloodshed, to tyranny.

This is our moment — now — to stand up for democracy. To stand up, each of us, for dignity, civility and competence. To stand up for the hope of an America where we might solve the many problems we face with dialogue and give-and-take and honesty.

It is time to vote for Joseph R. Biden.

If Trump knows that Republicans control the Senate, then he will fill emboldened to try to fight the results of the election. If we want to increase the chances for a peaceful transfer of power, we need to fight for as many Senate seats as we can.
