Accepting the Democratic nomination, Biden Promises “A journey of hope and light”

Obama was famous for his speech ‘Yes We Can’. Donald Trump is his presidency by his American discourse joined Carnage ‘. And on Thursday, former Vice President Joe Biden has had the Democratic nomination with a speech, to be known as perhaps a speech day, light and darkness. Speaking to an almost empty hall, a convention concluded by that was completely digital because of a pandemic that has killed more than 170,000 Americans and millions left jobless, Biden gave a speech that despair recognized at a time in the depths of the nation and hope created for the future. He has promised to hand over to the Americans what he calls the “darkness” of the presidential Trump has launched what it called “a journey of hope and light.” During his speech, he touched his most important political agenda, including its strategy for dealing COVID -19, his plan for the construction of the new economy, the fight against racial injustice and address the “existential threat” of climate change. But over and over again that the rear central theme: more than politics or ideology, rooted the Biden campaign on an issue of national character. “The current president has wrapped too long in America in the dark. Too many problems. Too afraid. Too division,” he said. “Here and now I give you my word, if I entrusted with the presidency, I will go up from us best, not the worst. I will not be an ally of the light from the darkness” The combination of the last two arguments darkness and light -. It is consistent with the wide stance Biden of the forces that drive the American history. Previously, the historian and writer Jon Meacham, whose 2018 book called the soul of America slogan echoes the Biden campaign held a five-minute speech on the last night of the convention, rare political real estate value given to a scholar. “America is a mixture of light and shadow,” Meacham said, and added that “often we would hear the trumpets rather than face the tragedies.” It ‘an idea that resonates clearly with Biden. “History tells us that America was in our darkest moments that we put our greatest progress. What we found the light,” said Biden, reference topic Meacham. “And in this dark time, I think we are making great progress again ready to. What we can find the light again.” The feeling that things in Washington. Subscribe to daily direct current, short newsletter. The speech was the emotional crescendo of four nights of digital programming during the Democratic National Convention, led almost entirely online this year because of the pandemic. The event produced densely worked in favor of Biden: It was not a protest style 2016, not meandering speeches or margins, and producing TV-style allowed the party the personal stories of ordinary Americans as young Brayden Harrington, which emphasize a speech to see the importance of a president who overcame a stutter as his. The objective of the Convention allows the programming of the center of gravity to keep emotional issues such as unity and empathy, friendship and the pain, and glossing over internal divisions within the Democratic Party and the ideological differences with Republicans . The Convention was emotional narrative, not ideological disputes. Biden and his surrogates were not careful to criticize the voters Trump, Trump only himself, who has been dropped into the labor market by him as the president of painting. “Our current president has failed in its task easier in this country: He failed to protect us,” said Biden. “My fellow Americans, this is unforgivable.” “We will never compromise our economy back on track, we will never be back safe at school, get our children, we will never have our lives back up to with this virus bypass” He continued. “The tragedy where we are today, it should not be that bad.” Again Biden back on the themes of light and darkness refer both to the wider forces of American history and the quiet horror destroy American families during the 19 COVID- He grieved with those who had lost relatives – “I know that deep black hole that opened in the chest “- and urged those grieving to” find a purpose “and” Save Our Democracy.. to play a light had “Speaking with the pain of the families who lost loved ones in the world to the pandemic , he showed Biden, perhaps his biggest is good politics: his genuine empathy to convey mourning. After losing his wife and daughter in a car accident in 1972 and his son Beau with cancer in 2015, has personal understanding Biden of tragedy and loss may bring a nation’s grief in mourning for a way to express that Trump He has so far failed to do. In the minutes before he made his speech, his surviving sons Hunter and Ashley talked about his pain and perseverance, and their comments ended with remarks of Beau Biden, delivered at the convention of 2012. So if American families Biden said: “I know how the average life and cruel and unjust can sometimes be” the pain rang true. After a loss of life and triumph, Biden expressed a unique ability to fear apparently without defeat, and offers hope, without being trivial. His insight, backed by years of personal and political experience, including eight years with former President Barack Obama is that the light and shadow coexist and rarely get to completely defeat the other. All we can hope is to take over.
