John,
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the presidential election with the most votes of any presidential ticket in our country’s history.
But in the days since we won this resounding victory, we’ve heard a lot of talk from Republicans about “unity.” We’ve heard it from the same people who just one week ago were hell-bent on enacting Donald Trump’s dangerously right-wing agenda and enabling his every authoritarian impulse — compromise be damned.
In their minds, “unity” is code for Democrats disregarding their principles and the 77 million Americans who voted for change.
Yvette had a perfect response to this kind of doublespeak after the race was called on ABC News on Saturday.
Now, her appearance has gone viral online. It has over 2.4 million views on Twitter, and everyone from Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ayanna Pressley to Seth Rogen, Common, and Jon Favreau (from Pod Save America) have shared it.
That’s because Yvette’s message resonates. We’re fighting for the kind of unity that puts people first and delivers real change on health care, education, and a living wage for working people. Watch it here, and add your name to our petition calling for a Democratic party that delivers the change we've been fighting for >>
Thanks for all you have done over the last four years to defeat Donald Trump and put power back in the hands of the people. Now, we need to keep fighting for a Democratic party that delivers on the promise of change for the 77 million Americans who voted for it.
Let’s stand unified in that effort.
— Charles
