President Joe Biden wants people to continue with the work in promoting justice and a defeat is not an excuse to give up. Biden wants a peaceful and orderly transition. The lie is that we must unconditionally support what the majority of Americans support at every instance. For example, during the 19th century, most Americans didn't want to abolish slavery. I oppose slavery. During the 20th century, the majority of Americans once viewed the Civil Rights Movement as going too far. I disagree with that perspective. Trump promotes himself as a working-class promoter, but lobbyists support him, Susie Wiles has her lobbying firms, and she is promoted as a Chief of Staff. Billionaires and Wall Street interests fund the Trump campaign explicitly. The richest person on Earth, Elon Musk, supported Trump politically and financially. Sellouts like RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and other people agree with Trump when Trump wants to deport over 11 million undocumented human beings, glorify Hitler, wants to have a massive tariff plan, and seeks to punish his political opponents. Some positive news is that 2 new black women Senators are in office. Also, voters in many states approved minimum wage increased, paid sick leave programs, and rejected school privatization. Progressive policy is still popular.
A new era of time is here with a new challenge and a future new President coming about by 2025. In the quarter century mark and near 250 years of American history, we have seen massive changes. The MAGA cult is very brutal. Likewise, many moderates are coming out to blame progressive for the Kamala Harris lost. They are lying for many reasons. The first reason is that the vast majority of black men and black women voted for Kamala Harris (despite what Joe Scarborough said about black men. Joe has once again shown his conservative ways with his mocking and lying about blaming progressive activists for the Trump winning the 2024 election). Also, millions of Americans stayed home, and voter apathy contributed to the Trump victory.
Not to mention that Kamala Harris has come to the center on many issues from immigration to fracking (which is not what many progressives supported), but that wasn't enough because it wasn't her ideology that caused the defeat. It was Kamala's identity and the influence of the Trump movement brainwashing millions of Americans to cause a convicted felon to be the new President in the future. Republicans readily obstruct progress, and many Democrats stayed home believing that their vote doesn't matter after Republican obstruct policies. The big lie is that Kamala Harris never had detailed policy positions. She had tons of positions on helping working class people, on investing in businesses, on addressing student loan debt, and on other issues from the environment to human rights (when mainstream economists said that Harris's economic views will improve the economy). Kamala Harris did her job. Now, it's time for the American people to do our jobs to resist fascism in our country.
