We need to choose hope over madness: Is Joe Biden up to the task?

John Sutter : The next president of the U.S. must harness hope or we'll descend into madness for all of us.

Sutter says the world continues to be mostly run by people nobody would invite to a neighborhood barbecue.

He asks those older than him for a better frame of reference and a clearer view.

John Sutter : I believe in free will, but I share the optimism we see from Joe Biden on the rare occasions we are actually allowed to be graced by his presence.

He says Biden always embraces hope and says there are better days ahead and we’re getting there together.

Sutter says there was plenty of hope on Capitol Hill Tuesday , but anger was back in the day .

Recent independent polls are driving the narrative that Donald Trump is favored to win the 2024 election.

The Biden administration’s response to those polls has been odd — but also hopeful.

The last administration accomplished very little and told us way too much. This administration has accomplished far more, and wants to wait to tell us about it later.
