We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For [View all]
I've said this a number of times but with all the brouhaha over the last few days thought it worth repeating. This is personal follow-up to Applegrove's post from the New Republic:
Joe Biden was never my guy until 2020. My choice was simple then: I believed Biden was The One to beat Donald Trump, the man who was the Worst, Most Destructive President in American History.
Those factors are still in play. But then, there's this:
Joe Biden has exceeded all my expectations.
Turns out Joe was not merely a place holder but the most consequential president of my living memory. President Biden's list of accomplishments in 3 years is massive, important and are far more expansive than most presidents rack up in two full terms.
To ignore these accomplishments or to run with a Republican/media-driven narrative is political malpractice. We have an enormous responsibility to fulfill this coming November. We're tasked with making sure Donald Trump and his odious enablers, both domestic and foreign, never get their hands on the levers of power again.
It's positively existential in nature for the country, for the world, for the future.
It's on us now. The courts are not going to save us. The electorate will have the final say.
I'm reminded of something President Obama once said:
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Believe it!
Tune out the noise machine and let's get this done.
