Biden IS a decent man. The world is massively complicated. Some actions are wrong at the time, some are wrong in retrospect. We learn. We hurt. We try to reconcile. It's a process toward grace that is not always linear, not always easy, not always understood. Thank you for this piece, Dami. It reminds us that understanding one another sometimes takes generations, but being tolerant and kind only takes a second.

Humans are not a nice race. We have exactly the same history and current issues with our First Nations people in Australia.

Greed and a sense of entitlement seem to be a key factor in how humans treat each other then and now.

An interesting and thought provoking experience for you in the desert.

Biden has been complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian peoples, where is his decency there?

Decent is an average word, it doesn’t mean good or right in action. In my view Biden cares about people but he has difficulty juggling that caring with political strategy.
