Even More Reason to Vote

Last night the United States presidential candidates were seen on the world stage in the first debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The entire country took a collective sigh as the debate went from 0-100 within the first question, leaving viewers stunned and appalled. The current president especially alarmed many with his outbursts, interruptions, and entanglements with not only the Democratic nominee Biden, but even with the debate’s moderator Chris Wallace too. President Trump went on to deny the severity of the Coronavirus pandemic, denote climate change, diminish the effects of changes in healthcare for millions of Americans, and, worse of all, refuse to condemn White supremacists.

After being asked repeatedly about his stance regarding race sensitivities, and if he would condemn White supremacists, President Trump offered that the “proud boys, stand back and stand by.” One thing is clearly evident after this conversation. The American people deserve better. Our country deserves better leadership that can adequately articulate and serve the entire country without impartial bias. We need someone who possesses appropriate decorum and self-control. It is clear that we must vote, and we must vote for Joe Biden. Spread the word - there is still time to register to vote. The last day to register to vote in Louisiana is October 5 (in-person/mail-in registration) and October 13 (online registration). Visit http://www.sos.la.gov for more information.
