This is an op-ed on the 2020 election by Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Our nation has experienced one soul-crushing crisis after another this year.

The pandemic has ripped at the fabric of every family in this country that it has touched.
Millions of women areout of work, and many others are juggling careers with caregiving for their families.
In moments of crisis, we all cope and recharge in our own way.
From the start, Donald Trump lied to us about how serious this pandemic would be.
In moments of crisis, we all cope and recharge in our own way.
I wont sugarcoat it: We cant afford four more years of Donald Trump.
Thats why its so important that we elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
I love a good plan and Joe and Kamala have lots of them.
Not only to end this pandemic, but to improve the lives of women across this country.
Rather than dismantle the Affordable Care Act, Joe and Kamala want to expand health care.
Joe and Kamala will also protect and expand access to reproductive care.
Their plan willrestore fundingfor womens health providers like Planned Parenthood, andenshrine the protectionsofRoe v. Wadein federal law.
In the White House, Joe and Kamala will address these heartbreaking disparities.
This election is about so much more than plans.
And theyll verify everyone can accessaffordable mental health care,which is especially important in tough times like this.
But this election is about so much more than just having plans.
Donald Trump hasnt shown an ounce of empathy during this crisis.
Joe Biden feels our pain because hes lived it.
Stand up, speak out, and demand change.
Make a plan for when, where, and how you will cast your ballot.
Ask everyone in your life to do the same.
The choice couldnt be more clear, and you still have time to make your voice heard.
So stand up, speak out, and demand change.
Make a plan for when, where, and how you will cast your ballot.
Ask everyone in your life to do the same.
Because, ultimately, the best way to care for yourself is to elect people who care about you.
And in this election, thats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
