乔·拜登:在告别演说中,我表达了对美国正在形成的寡头政治的担忧,这种寡头政治由极端财富、权力和影响力构成。我同样担心可能出现的科技产业复合体,它可能对我们的国家构成真正的危险。美国人民正在被大量错误信息和虚假信息所淹没,这使得滥用权力成为可能。自由媒体正在崩溃,编辑们正在消失,社交媒体正在放弃事实核查。真相被谎言所掩盖,这些谎言是为了权力和利润而编造的。 乔恩·法夫罗:拜登总统在告别演说中关注经济不平等和财富集中,并对科技寡头进行了最后一次抨击,这很好,只是太晚了。如果拜登总统在任期内更多地采用这种民粹主义的言辞,虽然我不认为这会改变大选的政治结果,但这长期以来一直是一个问题。这种民粹主义言辞是他竞选时的重要组成部分,但在总统任期内却很大程度上消失了。拜登的告别演说为民主党未来的发展方向提供了一个路线图,即关注经济不平等和财富集中,并对科技寡头发出警告。民主党应该抓住共和党政府为超级富豪服务的这一信息。 丹·费弗:拜登的告别演说与其他历任总统的告别演说相比,略显乏味,但它承认了国家现状并发出了预警。它遵循了感谢美国人民、感谢工作人员、谈论继承的糟糕局面、吹嘘自己的成就以及最后谈论回归公民身份的特定模式。然而,拜登的演说与众不同之处在于,它承认了国家正在发生的事情,并发出警告。民主党需要改变与民众沟通的方式,因为现在的沟通方式已经过时。我们应该更加注重与民众的直接沟通,而不是仅仅依赖传统的演讲方式。拜登的政治遗产复杂且难以预测,因为他未能倾听民众的呼声,坚持竞选连任,最终导致特朗普卷土重来。尽管如此,他仍然为国家做出了许多贡献,例如通过了自艾森豪威尔时代以来最大的基础设施法案,并在应对气候变化、降低处方药价格以及结束阿富汗战争等方面取得了进展。
