Inquirer readers on comparing the presidential candidates, dropping syringe exchange funding, and justice system fairness.
Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, speaks at a campaign rally in Las Vegas. President Joe Biden speaks at the White House.hit a grand slam delineating some of the differences in policies promoted by the two presidential candidates. The very first paragraph identifies the Trump strategy described by Steve Bannon, who once said the best way to combat fact-based media was to “flood the zone” with misinformation.
Each paragraph provides a different reason why voters need to check out Trump’s claims and generalizations against specified points and data in Biden’s efforts and proposals: reduced unemployment, limiting the cost of lifesaving insulin, pardoning thousands of those in jail for simple possession of marijuana, the signing of the first gun safety legislation in 30 years. There is also some input from Mayoron specific ways Biden’s policies are benefiting Philadelphia.
