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.\u00a0 I know, every presidential candidate says the same thing, in every election cycle.\u00a0 But it is the first time I have said it.\u00a0 This can’t go on.<\/p>\n

This map shows the most recent (high-quality and non-partisan) Biden vs Trump polls from each state, as reported by FiveThirtyEight<\/a>.\u00a0 Blue means Biden is leading in that state and orange denotes plurality support for the racist autocrat.\u00a0 Light shades indicate that the candidate’s lead is 2 percent or less.\u00a0\u00a0 States with no color have had no polls since March 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I fervently hope that Joe Biden is able to make the case for his election that Hillary Clinton sadly assumed was her foregone destiny.\u00a0 He and we cannot let the mini-Mussolini now in office be re-elected — our vision of America is up to us to preserve.<\/p>\n

This is no time for silence or complacency or “let’s hope the young people and black people show up this time.”\u00a0 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.\u00a0 This is critical, given the sustained v0ter suppression efforts by right-wing forces over the past decades.\u00a0 Biden has work to do and so do we all.<\/p>\n
