This is an image of President Elect Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris at the end of the Democratic National Convention in Wilmington, Delaware on Thursday, August 20th 2020. I am so delighted and relieved that they won the election, and that the Democrats after such a long battle, and for the first time, Democrats will control both the executive and legislative branches since 2011. It’s been a long time coming, and after the evil mendacity and egregious incompetence, repression, subjugation, and grotesque overwhelming corruption of the Trump era, finally we will have adults in charge who care for the nation, it’s people and great land, hopefully ushering us into a new era of peace and prosperity and against the rising tide of autocracy and fascism that has threatened the world and America. This happened just in time, it’s frightening to think what would have happened otherwise, and hopefully this election will squelch the evil aspects of the kind of Patriarchy that Trump represents and help to irradicate the heinous racism that has fueled the white resentment that has for so long sought to oppress others.

The election is so historic on so many fronts—I’m excited that Kamala Harris will be the first woman and Woman of Color to be Vice President. More than any other woman before her, as the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother represents more than a symbolic first, and I’m certain, given the wealth of experience, intelligence, and fortitude she will be amazing, and is just the beginning of amazing things to come. Joe Biden has spent his whole career in government and the senate, in addition of course to being VP to Obama, and his quiet integrity, honesty and decency, experience, intelligence and genuine care for all people and this country is just the huge antidote we need to save America right now and lead the path for the future. Their cabinet is multi-diverse and amazing, and with the Dems in control and with woke Republicans we can do this, and hopefully come out of the Dark Ages and into a new Renaissance.
