If the essence of Greek tragedy is that the hero is undone by his flaws, Joe Biden gets star billing. He defeated Donald Trump, stood up to Russia, enacted more reforms than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and bequeaths a robust economy. That made Biden a hero to America’s left and beyond. Yet most of his achievements will now be erased. His legacy is Trump’s return. After Biden, the deluge. He largely has himself to blame.
如果說希臘悲劇的精髓是英雄因自己的缺陷走向末路,那么喬?拜登(Joe Biden)堪稱巨星。他曾擊敗唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump),直面俄羅斯,出臺比比爾?克林頓(Bill Clinton)和巴拉克?奧巴馬(Barack Obama)更多的改革,還留下了一個強勁的經(jīng)濟。這使拜登成為美國左翼及其他人群眼中的英雄。然而他的大部分成就現(xiàn)在將被抹去。他的政治遺產(chǎn)是特朗普重返白宮。拜登之后將是洪水滔天。對此,他在很大程度上要怪自己。
