Biden gives the world permission to exhale after four chaotic years – Sydney Morning Herald
As Biden spoke for the first time as President, you could feel the resting heart rate of American politics returning to something resembling normal.
Steering largely clear of policy specifics and ideology, the central theme of Bidens speech was unity. He pleaded with Americans to remember what they have in common despite their undeniably deep political, racial and religious differences.
“Let’s begin to listen to one another again,” Biden urged. “Hear one another. See one another. Show respect to one another. Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire, destroying everything in its path. Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.”
