世界の女性、子どもたちに勇気を与える素晴らしいスピーチ もう一度噛み締めてみたいと思います。（保存したはずが、４８００文字うち、１７００文字しか残っておらず…。もうやり直す気力がないので。私のメモとして。なお昨夜段階では書き起こしが見当たらなかったので自分でやったまでですが、今日メディアが記事にしているので最後にそのリンクを貼ります。)
Congressman John Lewis wrote before his passing: “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.”
What he meant was that America’s democracy is not guaranteed. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it—to guard it and never take it for granted. And protecting our democracy takes struggle, it takes sacrifice. But there is joy in it. And there is progress. Because we the people have the power to built a better future.
And our very democracy was on the ballot in this election. The very soul of America was at the stake. And world is watching you assured a new day for America.
To our campaign staff and volunteers, extraordinary team, thank you for bringing more people than ever before into the democratic process. And for making this victory possible, to the all poll workers and election officials, across our country who have worked entirely to make assure every vote is counted. Our nation owes you a debt of gratitude. You have protected the integrity of our democracy.
And to the American people: who make up our beautiful country, thank you for turning out in record numbers to make your voices heard.
I know the times was challenging, especially for last several months. The grief, sorrow and pain, worries and struggles. But we have also witnessed your courage, your legitimateness and generosity of your spirit.
For four years, you marched and organized for equality and justice, for our lives, and for our planet. And then, you voted. You delivered a clear message.
You voted for hope, unity, decency, science, and truth when you chose Joe Biden as the next President of the United States of America.
We are so grateful to join Joe welcoming our family on this incredible journey.
