“After all that America has accomplished, after all the years we have stood as a beacon of light to the world, it cannot be that here and now, in 2020, we will allow government of the people, by the people, and for the people to perish from this earth.” — Biden at Gettysburg
If it wasn't for the opponent, Biden would be a relatively poor candidate.
What a wordy, sacherine sweet, grandiloquent, garbled, mixed metaphor of a sentence that is, expressing the tired, self-congratulatory view of the US which so badly needs to be retired.
Don't disrespect Lincoln by attaching his words to poorly-written claptrap. Lincoln was a great president and a beautiful, economical writer. He would never have written something like that.
Yuck.
