We had the highest African-American turnout in history, but it was still only about 60 percent. When people say voting doesn't make a difference, we've never tried what it would look like if it was 80 percent voting. Voting's about using…
Donald Trump isn't suddenly going to protect all of us. He can't even take the basic steps to protect himself. Treating the presidency like a reality show. Tweeting at the television doesn't fix things. That's not normal presidential…

Eight months into this pandemic, cases are rising again across this country. Donald Trump isn't suddenly going to protect all of us. He can't even take the basic steps to protect himself.
So Joe is not going to screw up testing. He's not going to call scientists idiots. He's not going to host a super-spreader event at the White House.
