While all the results aren’t in, it looks like­ly that Joe Biden will win the Pres­i­den­cy. This is a man who promised to veto Medicare for All dur­ing a pan­dem­ic, wants to give more mon­ey to police after sum­mer-long protests against police bru­tal­i­ty, and won’t com­mit to ban­ning frack­ing as we’re fac­ing the impend­ing doom of our species because of the cli­mate crisis.

As Jim­my talks about in the video, the left needs to grow its pow­er. I believe it no longer makes sense to work with­in the Demo­c­ra­t­ic par­ty, but I’m not yet sure what that looks like. One thing is for sure: we need lead­ers that will fight for uni­ver­sal health­care, fight for our beau­ti­ful plan­et, fight to defund (and even­tu­al­ly abol­ish) polic­ing as we know it, and put an end to the end­less wars.

There’s much work to be done.
