As it increasingly looks like Biden is going to win, all but confirmed at this point, we can take a few days to celebrate waking up from the Trump nightmare but then we have to get to work. I implore you to do two things
1. Don’t get complacent. Just because Trump is defeated you can’t go back to brunch. 2024 will see whatever ghoul crawls out of the RNC rise up, and that ghoul will be smarter, more of a fascist, and more dangerous. We have just bought ourselves time to organize against it.
2. Don’t blind yourself. Let’s not forget that Biden is and was a bad candidate who hurt Democrats downballot and doesn’t support popular policies. He’s going to do things that are morally reprehensible, and just because he’s not Trump doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call him out on it
We need to pressure him to be better and do real good. Sure he’ll re-enter the Paris Agreement, but we need him to go further to do real climate policy to make sure we’re not dead in 7 years. Don’t ignore things he does that don’t feel right just because he’s a Democrat
If Biden does all that listening he claims to want to do, he has potential to do great things, and be a great leader for us, but that will only happen if he has people to listen to, and that needs to be you. Lift up your voice and fight for justice.
If you’re wondering where to start, let me know. No matter where you are there are organizations that would love to have and need your voice. My recommendations are DSA, the Sunrise Movement, or whatever BLM adjacent organizing is going on around you
