As relieved as I am that joe Biden (legal challenges apart) has won the us presidency, what scares me is that 57% (or close to that number) of white people voted for trump! Over half the white population of the United States voted for a man whose been a racist throughout his political “career”. If it wasn’t for the black and Latino vote, trump would have got four more years and I don’t think it would have been particularly close..
Now it’s down to black voters in Georgia to see if they can turn the tide in the senate in the face of gerrymandering and institutional attempts to disenfranchise their ability to vote, come January, giving Biden what Obama never had, control of the senate and the ability to push through policies that could reverse some of the legislative damage that this administration and complicit republicans have put in place.
Googled it seems he only had it until the midterms of his first run. No idea why he and the democrats didn’t use it.
Might have been better for his presidency/legacy if he had.
