Jacinta Cullen: Choose the candidate who best reflects your core values

To The Daily Sun,

Presidential Candidate Joe Biden has adopted "decency" as one of the watchwords of his campaign. He has also said that this election is about "the heart and soul of the country." Joe Biden is, in effect, asking us to consider who we are as individuals and which candidate do we, as citizens, feel best represents our core values as a nation.

I believe that we can best answer that question by asking ourselves what would "I" have done if "I" were president.

Would I have put desperate people in cages?

Would I have separated young children from parents?

Would I have betrayed our allies, the Kurds?

Would I have called African countries "sh** holes"

Would I label an entire country as murderers and rapists?

Would I disrespect heroes who fought and sacrificed for our country?

Would I fail to prepare the nation for a pandemic?

Would I encourage racism?

Would I carelessly encourage conspiracies that threaten our nation?

Would I lie, on average, 16 times a day?

I could go on but you get the idea. I believe that the November 3, 2020 election demands that we reflect on our personal sense of decency, character and patriotism and that we cast our vote accordingly. The cumulative result will reflect the soul of this nation well beyond the next four years.

Thank you,

Jacinta Cullen
