WHAT YOU


SAID ABOUT ...


american reality Readers from across
the political spectrum found some com-
mon ground in the Nov. 16 issue, agree-
ing that the 2020 election represents a
call— perhaps even a mandate—for societal
change.
“People are tired
of career politicians,
Democratic or
Republican, which
Trump promised to
shake up,” argued
Roger Grubic of
Ormond Beach,
Fla. “When do they
age out and we get
leaders who want
to truly represent America?” A Biden-
Harris victory “is so much bigger than
just politics,” wrote Bianca Jituboh, a
Gen Z voter living in Neuilly-sur-Seine,
France. “We have clearly stated what
we want for our future. The beginning
of a new chapter. One that is hopeful
and diverse.” Kimberly Rodman in
Eugene, Ore., meanwhile, called the
race in verse: “Humpty trumpty sat
on HIS wall/ Humpty trumpty had a
GREAT fall/ All of his lawyers and all
of his kin/ Couldn’t
put trumpty
together again.”
Election Day also
got readers looking
ahead to TIME’s Person
of the Year selection
for 2020. Given the
“deep divisions”
apparent across the
U.S., the Rev. Carol
Barrett of Ellettsville,
Ind., said, she hopes
the choice will be “non-
partisan.” Johanne Caruso of Malden,
Mass., suggested that poll workers receive
the title for “putting their lives in danger to
ensure our right to cast our votes.” These
“silent heroes,” Caruso wrote, “uphold the
integrity of our election process.”

‘The rift that
needs to be
healed is
the rural-
urban
divide.’
MADHUKAR VABLE,
Houghton, Mich.

‘We’ve had
over four
years of
division
& we’re
sick of it.’
PATRICK STANLEY,
Sechelt, British
Columbia
