We're being told Biden won't be able to achieve much. We must reject that idea | Astra Taylor

If Joe Biden is going to accomplish anything, we need to start thinking differently about power and our political system

One thing we have learned from this election is just how crazy our democratic system is. Many crucial victories came down to slim margins in swing states and the idiosyncrasies of the electoral college.

Moving forward, progressives need to rally around serious democracy reform. Every issue we care about, from heathcare to climate justice, flows from that. Without a major intervention - and even with radical candidates winning office here and there - our political system is becoming less and less representative and responsive.
