Vice President Harris: The patriots at Normandy, Selma, Seneca Falls, and Stonewall… They did not sacrifice only to see us cede our freedoms and submit to the will of another petty tyrant. The United States is the greatest idea humanity ever devised. In 7 days, let us turn the… pic.twitter.com/oCrGbk4EAg

This isn't about crowd-size or partisanship: do we believe in the arc of history bending towards justice? Do we believe in justice flowing like a river? Do we believe in this nation, conceived in liberty, shining like a city on a hill? Do we believe in the huddled masses yearning to breathe free? Do we believe in the faith of our pilgrim fathers there was a promised land for them? Do we believe that women matter? Are we here for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? And one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all?
Are we the last great hope of the world?
Or do we think this country is a garbage can?
Can we have a better movement than what Trump gave us on 1/6/2021? Like the movement we always did have?
Our greatest generation of the 20th century fought fascism--it didn't embrace it. Our one Civil War established the citizenship of all people born here, and the slavery of none. The cause of white supremacy did not win. This election is premised on the idea of whether the Great Experiment of our forefathers that this government of the people, by the people and for the people, should endure--
Or just be another broke-ass Trump property, morally bankrupt, and sold out.
I saw people here lining up for the hope of our nation, for the joy of freedom, sweet freedom, for the lives of one another in dignity and liberty. For what is best in us--not for what is small and bad in us. Not for hatred of some supposed "other"--but in the fellowship of our aspired nationhood. E pluribus unum. Of many, one.
This is a history making time when we can decide that we want hope and joy and freedom--or whether a cloud of tyranny and yes, stupidity and hate, should descend on us. And I want what Kamala Harris can give us --the real American Greatness. The greatness we always have tried for, even if we have sometimes fallen short. Where leaders can speak the truth and the people are strong enough to hear it. Where we feel the freedom to build, not get told we need to accept destruction.
And for those who want to feel martyred as Trump supporters over what they think Joe Biden might have said--are you not already calling yourselves deplorables? If you are self-identifying out of guilt and aren't choosing to do better, I really can't feel anything for you.
Making better choices is always an option.
Let's do that.
