Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Those two short sentences will always describe the arc of my life.
62% : If America, with its tortured history of slavery, internment camps, Native American genocide and institutionalized segregation, had sent a Black man to the White House through the popular vote, could it mean that this country had transcended race?
50% : I spent the first five decades of my life firmly believing that America was automatically destined to become a better, fairer, more egalitarian version of herself.
42% : The resulting unique archive provides a window into America's beating heart during a period bookended by the presidencies of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and then punctuated by a global pandemic, a flash of protests after the police murder of George Floyd, the siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6, and the reversal of Roe v. Wade -- certainly one of the most tumultuous eras in modern American history.
