-After Biden was declared the victor in the US 2020 Presidential Election

 "Joe Biden has defeated Donald Trump. Millions across the country are applauding the downfall of a president who has been mendacious in his public communications, loathsome in his personal conduct, and utterly inept in his handling of a pandemic that has killed 230,000 Americans."

After bitterly divided election, what's next for America?
Nov 9th, 2020 Source

"[He who shan't be named], the inglorious captain of this sinking ship, has revealed the United States' flaws, which can never be un-seen. In America—a nation that is supposed to be a global leader—this year has been a raging dumpster fire, stoked by the whims of a raging narcissist of a president, a man with the emotional intelligence of a spoiled kindergartner. Over 70 million people still voted for -- or didn't care enough to vote against -- Trump's cruelty. America is broken and it needs to be fixed."

"For no matter their politics, the American people can stomach only so much of an indecent fellow. Deep within us is an abiding sense that our leaders ought to reflect the values we hope to teach our children. And while some may still be blinded and trapped within his cult of personality, most Americans know that Trump isn't a decent man."
-George Takei

"For the past four years, I have been holding my breath, in a defensive crouch and bracing for the worst. I've expected some fresh horror, embarrassment or trauma to find its way onto one of my screens, and it's been exhausting."
- Baratunde Thurston

"America cannot pretend that the last four years never happened. [We must] Close the loopholes, codify the checks and balances, reform the election process, dam the flood of dark money and foreign influence. Return elections to policies, not personalities."
-Garry Kasparov 

"In 2020, decency was on the ballot, and more Americans voted to defend it than have voted for any candidate in history. The election shone a spotlight on the polarization, distrust and enmity toward neighbors and fellow citizens that have defined these last four years."
-Mandy Patinkin

"Election campaigns, even in the calmest of times, shine a white-hot light on division."
-Sean Penn

"Our political system, as starkly revealed by the 2020 presidential election, can neither save nor heal us. We are standing as a people in what Quaker elder and activist Parker Palmer calls the Tragic Gap—the gap between corrosive cynicism and irrelevant idealism, between the way things are and the way we know they might be."
-Ashley Judd

"America has resoundingly chosen truth over lies, inclusion over exclusion, science over ignorance, faith over fear, compassion over cruelty, respect over ridicule, love over hate, substance over style, selflessness over self-dealing, freedom over oppression, unity over division and a global outlook over myopia."
