Passing The Torch
BIden gives us marching orders
“The sacred cause of this country is larger than any of us. We must work together to protect it.”
“I revere this office but I love my country more.”
“The best way forward is to pass the torch to the next generation. There is a time and a place for new voices. That time is now.”
“Whether we keep the Republic is in your hands. The power is in your hands, the idea of America is in your hands. Keep the faith. There is nothing beyond our capacity when we work together.”
President Joe Biden tonight told the nation why he decided to not continue his bid for the Presidency, I caught some of his words above. We have our marching orders. He has made his choice to help protect our democracy, we need to do the same.
I will see you tomorrow. I just spent the day driving to Maine and was able to catch his speech and live draw it.
Thanks for being here.
Biden was at his best in choosing to step away and promote others!
Lets do all we can to find and pursue ways to support Harris in the key states: including No Car, Penn, GA, NJ, Wisco, Ohio.. We have to win the key states to achieve electoral dominance or Trump loose the popular vote and still be president.
(BTW the electoral college was created by elites to preserve wealth/power and class dominance. Heather Cox Richardson among others is a great guide to its origins).
And always always remember--people power is often stronger than autocrats. Trump's grab for power is not the will of the many. Unity is our path. Migrant refugees, for example, are our brothers and sisters and we may need to support them and others--queer, trans and more.... We can build earnestly the caring, inclusive, country and world we envision. Thnx Liza. Your ways guide and energize us.
One of the great speeches. Fifty years, and more to do before he leaves. Thank you, Joe!
