This paper argues that if Biden wins the 2020 U.S. presidential election, his supporters should advocate for him to provide a value-declaring apology for what they consider the major offenses of the Trump administration. Such apologies differ considerably from categorical apologies, but they can provide significant meanings and serve substantive objectives during such a potentially volatile political transition

拜登应该为特朗普道歉吗？国家自责与2020年美国总统大选

本文认为，如果拜登在2020年美国总统大选中获胜，他的支持者应主张他为他们认为特朗普政府的主要罪行提供一个价值宣告的道歉。这种道歉与分类道歉有很大的不同，但是在这种可能动荡的政治过渡期间，它们可以提供重要的意义并服务于实质性目标。
