   The 2020 election is the most important Presidential election since 1864 which decided whether we would remain a Union. The United States has paid dearly for Trumps spectacular incompetence, delusion and dishonesty during these early months of the new decade. After 3 years (2)

   Of the black voters who said they did not vote in 2016, 15% said Biden’s decision to pick a black woman running mate would make them more likely to turn out in Nov, & 23% said it would make them like him more. 8% of Trump’s black voters said that as well, the poll showed.

    They are about to open back up.

    They do about 3X as many tests per capita as we do.

    I understand why Mr. Merritt feels this way. The conversation about America’s police problem which he deals with every day was excluded from Democratic campaign issues a long time ago. It was only Julian Castro who tried to raise it.

    Trump got folks so scared they’re afraid to discuss issues.

    Progressives are being shouted down for trying to incorporate their ideas into the party’s platform.
