After the dust in the US election settled, pundits, political activists, and those close to the parties met to tell what happened in the 2020 elections. They would focus all attention on voters whose positions were considered crystal clear by former President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden, who are wealthy white suburban residents. Not the real story of this election.

Although the polls after the election are not yet finalized, they show that it was the working class, the black and white families earning less than $ 100,000, as well as most of the young men, who won Biden this victory.

In fact, they did not vote for Biden in very large numbers, but rather knocked on the doors, asking Americans to vote for Biden, and they were calling others for the same reason, and carrying out the most difficult democratic work in the time of the pandemic.

These voters represent the heart and future of the great progressive movement inside and outside the Democratic Party, and President-elect Biden and Vice President, Kamala Harris, should focus on them.

A disaster for the poor

In fact, Trump was a real disaster for the poor and the working class, and accordingly they resorted to elections as a tool for revenge. They were wronged by the US oligarch government led by Trump, and they suffered the worst suffering as a result of this government’s failure to take appropriate steps in the face of the Corona pandemic, and were subjected to racist speeches. And the violence of white extremists, and accordingly they have become hateful to Trump.

But the election result contains a warning to Biden, in the midst of these intertwined national crises, his administration has an important window through which to communicate with the working class and the young people who helped him win the elections, but if he fails to present the requirements of the stage, that is, if he chooses to keep the situation as it is, The one who was characterized by the domination of the big companies and the great absence of equality, will not be the second Trump, but will be much worse than him.

We can now see some features through the voters of color, whose bias in the Democratic Party was taken for granted, but they supported Trump in the 2016 elections, and although they carried Biden to power by a margin of 46 points, the lesson that must be clearly learned is « The Democratic Party is taking the risk of ignoring its electoral base. ”

Ultimately, it was the working-class organizations that had millions of conversations with voters this year that made the difference in the elections, and it was not the political activists, nor the anti-Trump Lincoln Project movement, nor the Third Way Party, who knocked on the doors and spoke to Voters have listened to their concerns. Union members from South Phoenix, a district in Arizona, and others of African descent from Kenosha, Wisconsin have been demobilized, and in fact no one wants to allow the hard-right right in the Democratic Party to claim that it is authorized to practice politics. the current situation.

Racist appeals

This applies to Democrats on Wall Street, as well as Republicans who reject the election of Trump, and those in particular have spent several decades using racist appeals, fanning a culture of war, and throwing crumbs into their electoral base.

We are happy now that they have accepted, finally, the fact that the Republican candidate is not suitable, but that does not mean that we will invite them to be in the leadership position, as those who will lead our country to the future are the people who contributed to building the state and laid its foundations, they are members of the working class Multiracial and multi-colored, who helped move forward in light of the pandemic that is hitting the world, and are now calling for real reform.

And the influence of young men in particular appeared this year in historical numbers, which led to an increase in their voices by eight percentage points, and this generation is considered the most ethnically diverse in the history of the United States, and it is also the most progressive, and in fact this is not surprising, as the future of This generation is about economic and political balance, and this generation has emerged as a great force to defeat the only threat posed by Trump, more than just their love for Biden or the Democratic Party.

Biden and the Democratic Party now have a chance to win a generation of long-term loyalty, but only if they can deliver on the changes that young Americans are demanding.

This means passing a new green deal that would save the economy from recession, create millions of jobs, and directly address the climate crisis.

It means securing health care for everyone to prevent the death (or bankruptcy) of thousands of Americans as a result of the Corona pandemic, and other diseases, and it also means that the wealthy pay their share of taxes, and return taxes that have not been paid as a result of Trump's judicial achievements, and it also means carrying out electoral reform to ensure that they are represented Our government is the will of the majority.

These policies, and others, represent what Biden should do. Politically speaking, "acceptance of the status quo" represents an indirect return to Trump's policies. Of course, this situation was not beneficial at all to the poor or the working class, and it will not benefit it now either. The truth is that being better than Trump is an easy issue, and this stage, and the citizens of the United States, deserves a leadership with a vision of advancing what is appropriate for the American people.

The future of the American party and the future of America depend on it.

Biden’s acceptance of the status quo represents an indirect return to Trump’s policies, and this situation has never been beneficial to the poor and the working class, and it will not benefit them now either.

The influence of young men in particular appeared this year in historic numbers, which increased their voices by eight percentage points. This generation is the most ethnically diverse in US history, and it is also the most progressive.
