I am posting this Biden vs Trump electoral map on the blog — and I will be updating it periodically — because I believe that the 2020 presidential election is the most important of our lifetimes and our children’s lifetimes.  I know, every presidential candidate says the same thing, in every election cycle.  But it is the first time I have said it.  This can’t go on.

This map shows the most recent (high-quality and non-partisan) Biden vs Trump polls from each state, as reported by FiveThirtyEight.  Blue means Biden is leading in that state and orange denotes plurality support for the racist autocrat.  Light shades indicate that the candidate’s lead is 2 percent or less.   States with no color have had no polls since March 1.

I fervently hope that Joe Biden is able to make the case for his election that Hillary Clinton sadly assumed was her foregone destiny.  He and we cannot let the mini-Mussolini now in office be re-elected — our vision of America is up to us to preserve.

This is no time for silence or complacency or “let’s hope the young people and black people show up this time.”  I don’t have the stamina for marches or rallies, and I think cold calls to potential voters can be as alienating as they are persuasive — so my contribution will be to transport voters to their polling places in November.  This is critical, given the sustained v0ter suppression efforts by right-wing forces over the past decades.  Biden has work to do and so do we all.
