and this is our moment. my fellow americans, we meet tonight at an inflection point. it's one of those moments that only a few generations ever faced, with a direction we now take that's going to decide the course of this nation for decades to come. we are not bystanders of history. we are not powerless before the forces that confront us. it is within our power of we the people. we are facing the test of our time. we have to be the nation we have always been at our best. optimistic, hopeful, forward-looking. the nation that embraces light over dark, hope over fear, unity over -- stability over chaos. we have to see each other, now there's enemies but as fellow americans. we are good people. only nation in the world built on an idea, the only one.
