I had a long drive Saturday evening which allowed me to listen to the Harris and Biden speeches. Two lines summed up where we may be heading for the next four years.
I'll work as hard for those who didn't vote for me as those who did. Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now.
Not quite "with malice toward none, with charity for all," but close.
protecting our democracy takes struggle. It takes sacrifice...our very democracy was on the ballot in this election, with the very soul of America at stake,..
Not quite "to you 70 million of Tump voters, you did not just hold your nose and vote to slow down the progressive agenda, no, you voted against democracy, you deplorable fascists, and we will treat you as such," but close.
The battle will be interesting to watch.
First up, it will be very interesting to see what the voters of Georgia do with Senate races. Now that the Trump issue is off the Table, the calculus is entirely different. The issue now is not "do we enable or stymie Trump?" the issue is "Does Biden-Harris enact what it pleases, or do Republicans put the brakes on the agenda?"
How setting the top of the ticket question changes their desires for senators will be very interesting to watch.
I was listening to NPR. While they unabashedly and wantonly use the word "lie" to describe even factually correct statements by the President of the United States, they repeatedly stated that Biden "is the President-elect." Umm. Is there some article in the Constitution by which the Associated Press certifies election results and bestows the title President-Elect? I have little doubt which side it will be on.
