I want to take a moment to express my gratitude and respect to President Biden. He reached what had to have been an extremely difficult decision, but he did what is best for his party and his country. Clearly in his heart he shares the goal of the many millions of Americans who wish to see Democrats defeat Donald Trump in November.
The nomination of a new Democratic candidate must be opened to a genuinely democratic process at an open convention. No one should simply be anointed to the position of nominee; all candidates must be heard and their agendas explored. Our party’s basic first principle is democracy. We cannot save our democracy without practicing it ourselves. |
I look forward to taking my message to the American people, and convincing Democratic delegates, that I am the best candidate to take us to victory in November. Donald Trump has broken the mold, and we must break it too. He has introduced an age of political theater that cannot be successfully countered by a status quo politician, however good they might be, for we are living in a different kind of moment.
We will inspire the American people with a compelling vision of their improved material conditions should they elect Democrats in November. My proposed policy prescriptions dismantle the matrix of corporate tyranny that now limits the economic opportunities of a majority of Americans.The Democratic party must recommit to our most important first principle: an unequivocal advocacy for the working people of the United States.
We will not bend to the economic royalists who have ripped apart America’s social safety net and caused such suffering to so many people.
That is my message, and with it we will win.
In order to mount a serious opposition to the institutional insistence that Kamala Harris be shoehorned into the nomination, I need your help. Please do everything you can do financially to support the campaign at this moment, including reaching out to your friends. That, more than any other element, will make the difference.
Our time is right this very minute. |
With profound gratitude that you have carried me to this moment, |
