Great speech and if Biden can harken back to this passion and conviction for a few speeches and upcoming debates it will be great to see.
It's too late for me to go digging and I don't want to veer too much off topic but I have always wondered if there is actual data that shows whether or not those types of endorsements actually matter. To me it seems more likely that Pete and Klobuchar voters switched to Biden because he most closely aligned with their views rather than because of the endorsements but that could be wrong.
Damn that was good. Hopefully Joe still has some of that left in him.
I'm going to happily vote for him in November. Trump has got to go.
tbh, second choices for the primary were always wild and confusing, a lot of people just wanted to unify around a candidate.
they were starting to unify under bernie, biden wins sc, and then everyone drops out, so they want to unify under biden. progressive wing could have given bernie and bidne a delegate tie or bernie still a small lead, but she stayed in.
ive accepted it, ive accepted that the democrats will go far to make sure we wont have free health care. because thats what they did. if you wanna vote for biden because hes not as bad as trump then go for it, i get it especially if you are in a swing state. i wont do it though.
Bloomberg took more delegate share from Biden than Warren took from Sanders. Sanders was only doing as well in the early contests as he was due to the field being larger than usual and Iowa being a caucus state.

Have a read for those who are actually interested in knowing the differences between Biden and Trump as opposed to those who will make that dishonest ass false equivalency claim out of bitterness/spite regardless of it being a lie.
There's a gulf of space in between "Perfect" and "The status quo". Especially when the status Quo is sending the military into city streets to mace and beat the people protesting the wrongful murder of a black man.
LIFT EVERY VOICE: THE BIDEN PLAN FOR BLACK AMERICA - Joe Biden for President: Official Campaign Website
Joe Biden knows that African Americans can never have a fair shot at the American Dream so long as entrenched disparities are allowed to quietly chip away at opportunity. He is running for President to rebuild our economy in a way that finally brings everyone along—and that starts by rooting out...

Some people won't accept this. The hardcore Bernie fans won't accept anything other than it was stolen from him, which is insane.
I'll vote for Joe but I'm already in a blue state.
Only going to vote for him because Libs are easier to push around with direction action than fascists are (obviously).
Dude ended up my fifth choice but I was ready to get the ball rolling after Super Tuesday. It was really stressful to see the shitshow but it didn't amount to much in the way of polling or whatever. But it's good to have everyone on board.
I'm a Joe fan, but whew, his bid looked dead after Iowa and New Hampshire. Can't imagine seeing this title just a few months ago. What a comeback.
Now let's crush it in November and toss Trumpism into the dustbin of history.

I'll be voting for sure. I think it would help, buyt I don't expect it nor do I think we need it. Meghan likes to pretend she's in the middle but she'll find a reason not to endorse Biden in the end.
Can't add much because Lothars pretty much took the words right out of my mouth
Biden, time to set your sights on the 45 before he destroys all thats good in the world. You have to save us all. Everyone. As people of the world, end his tyranny.
What system? America wanted Joe Biden. It wasn't the rules, it was the people.
(Ranked choice would likely make both Biden and Bernie viable candidates in the general, though there is no reason to believe Biden wouldn't come out on top in that scenario, as well.)
well there might be some people that say:
Hey Trump has handled the Covid situation better than anyone else in the world so that it went away magically after one person was infected, then he dominated local terrorists with only teargas, cavalry and rubber bullets and finally he presented job numbers that were totally true. He is basically Jesus.
I am not one of em, just to be clear.
He's still got it.
Elizabeth Warren was my first choice. Bernie was my second.
This is Biden 3 days ago.
Listen to the whole thing.
Given the choice between a guy who thinks people should be shot in the leg and a guy who thinks people should be outright killed I guess I'll vote for the leg guy. I'm not happy about my choices though.
The Texas 2018 Senate elections had something like a 2% percentage win for Cruz. Texas is slowly turning Purple.
Hate him and the most of the Democratic party but Donald Trump is reason enough for me to vote for Biden just like I hate voted for Hillary. I have no hope for US politics other then bringing us back to "normal" though. If Donald trump had not been a literal human shit stain I wouldn't vote at all. I do not believe not voting is a vote for the other guy but I do believe not taking a side in this election and turning point in history is wrong.
Hey, it means another vote against McConnell, right?
(I know Amy McGrath probably isn't winning, but let me dream.)
I plan on doing something similar, only driving people in Pennsylvania. We really need to win this time.
He's a poor candidate, better than Trump, and also a sign of the feable state of US democracy at the national level. I don't think he his politics are the answer to most of the questions being posed - climate, structural racism, inequalities - but a part of the wider problem, and think his record reveals him as mainly a careerist, but it is what it is. Shit has hit the sewage pipes and even a Biden presidency looks much better than a Trump regime. Climate crisis may be building momentum, but it is the preparedness of our governance and populace that worries me the most. Progressive politics is in a sorrier state than it was 50 odd years ago in socio economic terms, but at least there is increasing fire from the younger generation. We need to bring it
Even if you don't believe in him, vote in the team working for Biden and let them know you won't accept anything less than making things better than they were
