the real racism that divides us.
I often say that the multiculturalism of America, that is our human, that is our superpower.
That is our strength.
And racism is still very much our Achilles heel.
And Dawn, I always tell people like, this is not my analysis.
Don't take my word for it.
Just take the word of in Ohio, Springfield, Ohio, when there were bomb threats being called into local schools and in local high schools,
A good quarter of those calls came from overseas, from foreign actors, from foreign interference.
Because you know what?
The Russians and the Chinese, they recognize that our multiculturalism is our superpower.
But the only way they divide us is through the lens of racism.
And so they will absolutely put their finger on that scale if they recognize that we could be a country of chaos where we're pitting ourselves against each other, because then we cannot focus on the world at large.
We cannot focus on the things that we're really good at.
We cannot focus on our global leadership.
And so one of the things we have to ask ourselves is, are we willing to basically put a stake in this election?
where we recognize that it was the multicultural superpower in 2018 and 2020 and 2022 that defeated the extreme right of the Magna Republicans.
Can we actually be very clear that what is at stake is not just our democracy, but really the world order of safety and the ability of folks to be the best version of themselves?
Because you know who doesn't want that?
Donald Trump, the Russians and the Chinese.
My biggest advice is that October 29th is going to be early vote day nationally.
