Joe Biden Won. But Don’t Throw Away Your Protest Signs Just Yet.
After days of uncertainty, we can decisively declare Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be our next president and vice president of the United States. Let’s be clear: We have succeeded in ousting a president who’s fascist, sexist, racist, xenophobic—I could go on. But the fight is far from over. We are facing a dying planet, rampant police brutality, an immigration crisis, and a battle over basic human rights at the mercy of an out-of-touch Supreme Court. And while Donald Trump is out, electing Biden is just the start of what we need to do to meet this moment. The fact that this victory was so hard-fought shows we have a long way to go to decouple this country from its white supremacist roots.
