Their votes didn't count, and soon their voices will no longer be heard. There are big changes coming soon.
Trump’s words and actions have given safe harbor and encouragement to racists, anti-Semites, anti-Muslim bigots, and white supremacists.
It’s time to root out domestic terrorism in all its forms.
We will use federal law enforcement tools and resources to address domestic terrorism, and if necessary work with Congress to pass a domestic terrorism law that is consistent with the Constitutional right to free speech and civil liberties.
Democrats will ensure federal data collection and analysis is adequately funded, to better design policies to address the needs of the most vulnerable communities and make informed policy choices.
Hate speech and symbols have no home in our new America.
Democrats believe that we can only build a more just and equitable future if we honestly reckon with our history and its legacy in the present.
We support removing the Confederate battle flag and statues of Confederate leaders from public properties. We recognize Black history has too often been intentionally suppressed or excluded from our history books, and will invest in recovering, celebrating, and highlighting Black history as American history.
Democrats believe Juneteenth (June 19th) represents the end of slavery, the freedom for millions of enslaved Black Americans, and will be recognized as a federal holiday.
We believe Black lives matter, and will establish a national commission to examine the lasting economic effects of slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and racially discriminatory federal policies on income, wealth, educational, health, and employment outcomes; to pursue truth and promote racial healing; and to study reparations.
We must acknowledge that there can be no realization of the American dream without grappling with the lasting effects of slavery, and facing up to the centuries-long campaign of violence, fear, and trauma wrought upon Black Americans.
The extreme gap in household wealth and income between people of color—especially Black Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and certain Asian American and Pacific Islander communities—is holding our country back.
Democrats are committed to improving economic mobility for people of color. We will fight to tackle inter-generational poverty and close the racial wealth gap.

The Hell you are you are fighting for big corporations, and selling out America to the Chicoms! Your voting base knows nothing about rolling up their sleeves andf working hard except one day a month when the Gubmint check comes, and they actually have to go cash that check!
All you have done for four years is stoke division, and distrust so shove that right up your arse.
You are for open borders, amnesty for millions of criminals and sexual perversion!
You will appoint activist Judges who judge according to feelings not the constitution!
Let me offer a glaring example. As we speak, Trump is actively trying to throw out valid ballots cast in overwhelming black and brown cities. He’s doing that right now. Where oh where is the Democratic fight against such an unamerican abomination? The fight against that comes only from progressives as they have challenged that ignorance in court, while Biden is twiddling his thumbs. You cannot defeat evil with hope and flowery words. I’m from Detroit and I can tell you that they aren’t happy with fine words and twiddling thumbs. They want to see aggressive action to protect their votes, especially given that they already don’t trust Biden, for good reason.
Truth be told, Obama wasn’t much better, but he mastered the illusion of being progressive when he decidedly was not..
Change, real change does not come from old people, it never does., and the party is controlled by old centrists who marginalize it’s younger voices. Nancy Pelosi has long ago outlived his usefulness. The best recruiter for Democratic votes this election by far was Donald Trump himself not Biden and certainly not Pelosi.
As soon as the election was over, centrist pulled out the knives and started attacking the left within the party without whom Trump would have clearly won. Progressives won an republican lite candidates lost on their do nothing platforms.
I hear you brother, and don’t take this as an attack on you or what you’re saying. It isn’t. But as long as democrats continue to attack younger and more progressive voices within the party, we will never see the. country that you envision.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
Our legal teams are making sure that Trump's claims are dismissed.
Our election teams are making sure that enough votes are counted to overcome any temporary setbacks.
The Biden-Harris Administration recognizes that longstanding discrimination and unjust policies. We will equalize established pathways to power for Black Americans.
The Biden-Harris Administration will fight to expand and protect the fundamental right to vote, including by aggressively pushing back against Republican governors, legislatures, and state officials who have disenfranchised people of color, young people, low-income people, and immigrants.
The Biden-Harris Administration will restore the full powers of the Voting Rights Act and go further to roll back discriminatory policies that have been put in place in recent years to prevent people of color from voting.
