Joe Biden sets the tone of his kickoff and does not fall into the political trap of Bernie Sanders

AIn the first round of campaigning for his third presidential candidacy, former Vice President Joe Biden turned out to be a happy warrior, moving away from the austere tone, prosecutor and adversarial tone of most of his competitors. 2020. He smiled by celebrating not only his supporters, but the dignity of the work itself, alluding to the erosion of the social fabric that led President Trump to the primaries.

Biden managed to frame the circle as well as he could have. He did not vilify the rich (as he reminded us previously, "500 billionaires" is not "the reason we have problems"), but he adopted the classic democratic stance of reducing the cuts. tax for the rich. Health care is a "right", he said, but a problem that he would have resolved by backing a public or Medicare purchase option rather than removing the entire market Private health insurance, by nationalizing a fifth of the US economy and forcing the government to make its health insurance mandate funded.

Libertarians may not like Uncle Joe, but he has clearly listened to them. He may have asked for a federal minimum wage of $ 15, but he also called for a reform of the professional license and irreconcilable clauses of non-competition for low-income workers. It's an easy way to remind the discontented right and the independents that he is not following the "Bernie Bros" train to the insane train of unbridled regulation, which proves that he is still focused on a economic vision of the economy rather than a centralized one.

The only septuagenarian I can call as lively and lively as Biden is President Trump himself. It is not difficult to imagine an electoral debate between the two that is more energetic than Obama against Romney. More importantly, Biden seems to enjoy himself. He may be a machine gaffe, but his energy and charisma have not failed to beat, and he has not let himself go into the unsavory nooks he will need to pull out of the general election.

His biggest challenge? Hoping that his bet on Obama voters in Trump is enough to form a winning coalition in a splintered group of 20 candidates.
