Hey America, ICYMI:
Addressed to the summer's young protesters:
You can give our democracy new meaning. You can take it to a better place. You're the missing ingredient -- the ones who will decide whether or not America becomes the country that fully lives up to its creed.That's the 44th president of the United States warning that the 45th president will end democracy in America if we let him.
That work will continue long after this election. But any chance of success depends entirely on the outcome of this election. This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that's what it takes to win. So we have to get busy building it up -- by pouring all our effort into these 76 days, and by voting like never before -- for Joe and Kamala, and candidates up and down the ticket, so that we leave no doubt about what this country we love stands for -- today and for all our days to come.
Stay safe. God bless.
That warning represents quite a journey for Obama. He rose to prominence and won election by telling us that we are not as divided as we seem, that we are forever in the process of making our union ever more perfect, that Americans at pivot points in our history bent the arc of the universe toward justice.
