Joe Biden claims this year’s presidential election is about preserving democracy and that Donald Trump is running solely to feed his oversized ego. If Biden truly believes this, then he should step aside.

The Democrats would then be able to nominate a practical centrist around whom the vast majority of Americans can rally. This candidate would need to beat Trump soundly — by 10 points while winning 35 or so states — to restore electoral integrity. This would lead to a more unified America that a broken two-party system seems hell-bent on destroying.

Division is the trough at which these pols and their media cronies pig out. The pundits, who claim to know everything but really know nothing, dismiss us as “double haters” because we want neither Trump nor Biden as president.

We’re not haters. We love America. That’s why we don’t want to be led by those who seek to divide and, ultimately, ruin us.

Biden has an opportunity to do something truly historic. George Washington ushered in a new ideal of democracy when he made the choice to step aside. He also warned of the antidemocratic tendencies of the two-party system.

A current Trump ad ridicules Biden for demonstrating either dishonesty or dementia. As long as our only choice is between Trump (dishonesty) and Biden (dementia), America will continue to be hopelessly divided, and our seemingly intractable problems will remain unaddressed.
