Joe Biden may have said “systemic racism” more in the last months than Obama said in his entire 8 years. It’s the post-George Floyd reality, the power of BLM, the diversity of the country/Democrats and maybe most of all, the freedom that comes w/ being a white man.

The phrase “legal vote” is doing lots of work for Trump and his allies. It’s meant to imply that they are on the side of the law and that there is widespread voter fraud and that there are people involved in a vast plot to cast and count “illegal votes”. ZERO evidence of this.
