Restoring leadership in the White House requires a change – Buffalo News

Just this month, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article titled, Dying in a Leadership Vacuum.

Under this presidents alarming lack of leadership, the Journal noted that the United States has taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy.

This tragedy is the America we are experiencing today and the country in which we live and take pride is not the America we all deserve. The country is more divided politically, socially and emotionally than ever before. Basic values around race, equality, the merits of science just to name a few have all been called into question.

There are no winners in this rhetoric. When our leaders seek to divide us by our differences, we all lose. The notion of unity and being united is woven into the fabric of America yet here we are, standing fractured, farther apart than ever before.

As we look out over the next four years, we need a leader who can unite. This requires a leader who listens, who is empathetic, who is kind. While these qualities seem like basic traits, we must not take them for granted after the last four years.

Thats why I am voting for Joseph R. Biden as the next president of the United States.

Biden understands what it means to struggle through adversity and loss, and he understands the support everybody needs to soldier on through their own hardships to arrive whole on the other side.
