Day 50: A Mighty Blue Wave

14 Sep 2020 By Susan Barsy in Candidates and Campaigns Tags: 2020 election, Blue Wave, Democratic Party, political engagement, presidential elections, US politics, voters 2 Comments

If the election is close, Donald Trump can challenge the results in one or two states. But if Biden wins big in too many states, Trump will have to concede. Biden’s victory will be beyond legal challenge. The will of the American public and of the states will be clear.

This has got to be the goal of every patriotic American: to bring in the vote for Biden on such a scale that, on November 3rd, Trump will be utterly rebuked, rejected, and humiliated.

There is always something mystical about American elections. Polls only imperfectly register what the electorate thinks and feels. Polls only imperfectly register where the electorate is heading, and pundits’ speculation only partly explains why.

The people’s will is not easy to subvert, particularly given the layers of state and county government that administer elections. Since 2016, many states have improved their voting systems, making them more impervious to manipulation. The free and fair conduct of an election is precisely what the unworthy occupant of the White House fears.

With good reason. All across the country, ordinary Americans are gearing up and diligently aligning themselves into a Mighty Blue Wave. They are encouraging one another to rise up and vote, knowing that a massive voter turnout for Biden and other Democratic candidates will favorably resolve an excruciating political crisis and put our battered and burned nation in a position to build back better.

The incumbent president has used every trick he can think of to tear down the traditions, values, and institutions that are intrinsic to the nation’s prestige and integrity. He has insulted and demeaned the very citizens whose rights and welfare he is supposed to defend. He has denied aid to states whose economies are the backbone of national prosperity. Now, his fate is in the hands of every American he has put down and betrayed.

CURRENTS

12.14.2022  The stock market lost 2% of its value today, after data came out showing that November retail sales slowed more than foreseen.  The Dow closed down 711 points, after being down 950 earlier in the day.

12.6.2022  Raphael Warnock wins the Georgia runoff, defeating Hershel Walker in a suspenseful but blissfully decorous way.

12.5.2022  Some time ago, my accountant advised me to resolve the question of whether American Inquiry is being run as a hobby (in which case it really should be abandoned) or a business.  Despite knowing the difficulties of turning a profit from a publishing venture as small as this, I successfully petitioned the IRS earlier this year to reclassify American Inquiry as an S corporation, putting it on a conventional for-profit footing.  I have written a business plan for the website which envisions for generating revenue by various means, including an online bazaar and very low-cost classified advertising.  As I go about building these features into the site, American Inquiry may look unusually bare or ugly at times, and, for that, I humbly apologize.  I hope that the changes will lead to new kinds of engagement on the site, thus making the inconvenience of transitioning worthwhile.

Among the most consequential changes I have made: American Inquiry will no longer have followers.  New content will no longer be emailed to you.  I may later offer a paid subscription option, but until then I invite you to navigate to the website at your convenience for the newest content.  I am sincerely grateful for the readership of my followers in the past, and I hope it will continue in the new era.  Susan Barsy
