1. Beautiful!

[Drum]

2. Hells yeah!

[stonecutter357]

3. K&R

[qazplm135]

4. It's solid

I think I'd have preferred two minutes of Joe talking directly to the camera though. A real time rebuttal of sorts since you can anticipate pretty easily some Trump attack lines.

But it's a great move to stick his nose in here.

[634-5789]

63. Can't wait till Joe fact checks the debate live

[Le Roi de Pot]

5. Goosebumps

and tears in my eyes!

[NightWatcher]

6. The more money we donate (over $1 Million so far from DU) the more eyeballs get to see this.

That's dead on. Perfect tone. Hard hitting.

[CottonBear]

7. This is a truly great ad! So positive and forward looking!

Go Joe!

[SheltieLover]

8. Excelkent!

[hlthe2b]

9. Excellent...

[gademocrat7]

10. Strong, compassionate ad.

A beacon of hope.

[Johnny2X2X]

11. WOW!

That's Grade A Prime stuff right there. His best ad and millions will see it tonight.

[StClone]

12. In a nutshell it says to me

Trump/Cons corrupt materialism vs Idealism to advance towards more perfect union.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. Great ad....It tells the truth.

The history of America is this...Native Americans are the TRUE citizens/settlers of this country.

White Europeans who came to these shores in the early 1600's to settle it were the interlopers. The first arrival of Africans that were brought to Jamestown in 1619, began the slave trade in America that would end in 1863, supposedly. The onslaught of White Europeans since then, we are all descendant of those Europeans who came here for a better life, while stealing it from those who had lived on this continent for hundreds of years prior.

Thus we are a nation of Immigrants. Joe and Kamala understand that. The past cannot be redone. Moving forward is the only path we have now, and they are that path.

[Fla Dem]

14. Fantastic!!!

[Roc2020]

15. Nice!!!

[LAS14]

16. Yay!!!! K & R!!! But...

... I'm afraid it speaks to my petty side. My FAVORITE part was the contrast between Joe running up a ramp (stairs?) and Trump being helped down a ramp. :-/

[Pacotoo]

17. Sweet

....and it was particularly neat to see how the ad included the footage of the Conman-in-Chief crawling down the ramp in contrast to Biden walking at a fast pace.

[Ilsa]

18. I love it. nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. Joe you are THE MAN. Proud Biden supporter here.

[Star-Thrower]

31. Yep he is THE MAN!

He's got it! I would like to see more of him though.

[SergeStorms]

20. Good message, but...

I think the Biden/Harris campaign needs to address the fear Trump is attempting to instill in voters. Republicans always run on fear, it's their stock and trade. They should show the kids in cages, police shooting unarmed Black men, the ensuing rioting and looting going on because of it, America's allies laughing at the orange buffoon behind his back, his love of brutal dictators, etc. etc. etc. Then Joe telling everyone, "this is Donald Trump's America, not mine. Your deepest fears will come true with four more years of Donald Trump".

Everyone knows that Joe is a decent, honest man and he'll work for all Americans. America needs to be shown what a monster Donald Trump is, and how he only works for Donald Trump and no one else. They should already know that as well, but some people need constant reinforcement.

Just my two cents.

[crickets]

21. Wonderful, uplifting ad! nt

[ananda]

22. So wonderful and inspiring!

Yay!

[augyboston]

23. "America is an idea" - Perfect!

Run an ad that hits at the essence of America, that it is an idea based on principles of freedom and opportunity for all during an RNC convention that is so totally bereft of ideas that they have no platform other than they all worship this shithead tRump!

Perfect!

[ancianita]

24. Saturate the airwaves nightly with ads. Especially while 45 leaves an ad vacuum.

[StarryNite]

25. Absolutely wonderful!

[matt819]

26. That's a great ad!

Captures the essence of Biden, the essence of what it means to be an American.

And, yet, fully half the country will see that and find fault. People of color, LGBTQ, native Americans, immigrants, working people, unity. All concepts anathema to fascists.

[Lonestarblue]

27. Great ad! Inspiration versus Trump's dystopian view.

All Trump can run on is hatred and fear. He has accomplished nothing productive for the country. I hope people take the polls showing Biden winning with a grain of salt. They are not perfect, and Biden needs not just a squeaker of a win but an overwhelming majority to counter Trump’s cheating. I read an article in Slate this morning that lays out some scenarios that could result in the very election chaos that Trump is striving to achieve and some possible countermeasures. I plan to email it my local Democratic chair and to the state party. It’s well worth reading because being forewarned of possibilities is important.

28. Yes! Time for me to donate a little more..nt

[ramblin_dave]

29. No one has to tell him Wall Street didn't build this country, he knows it did?

Am I hearing this wrong? Shouldn't it be "he knows it didn't"?

[kinksfan1]

32. "He knows WHO did"

I'm hearing, "He knows who did" not "it did".

[ramblin_dave]

36. Thanks, my hearing is bad but I think you're right

[mountain grammy]

30. Go Joe..

[lpbk2713]

33. Don't play nice. It has bitten us in the ass before.

Remember this asshole is the worst thing that has ever happened to our country.

[berni_mccoy]

34. That's a perfect response to the nonsense this week

[tazmaniac]

35. It brought tears to my eyes! The power of hope and

I don't mean "that hopey changey thing" that Sarah Palin mocked-I do mean real hope that we can get our country back from the clutches of the orange devil, Putin and the repugs!!! Go Joe & Kamala---vote BLUE!

[dhill926]

37. love the strategy...

[Alliepoo]

38. Wowzers!!! Fantastic!!!

[LymphocyteLover]

39. well, I got something in my eye, excuse me...

[TNNurse]

40. Trump will say that should not be allowed during the convention.

[BComplex]

41. Awesome ad!

[Nululu]

42. Fantastic nt

[NNadir]

43. Wow! It couldn't be more perfect for a more perfect union. n/t.

[TNNurse]

[TeamPooka]

45. k&r

[cp]

46. Wonderful!

And I love how it's filled with so many American people. Quite the contrast to the narcissist.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

55. Yes! Maybe some seeds will sprout.

I know they’re fact-averse, but maybe something will pierce the darkness.

[Firestorm49]

56. Glad to see it here because I refuse to add to Trump's convention ratings.

[artemisia1]

57. I bet a lot of Republicans are going to throw their beer cans at the TEEVEE when this airs... /nt

[Lucinda]

[bluevoter4life]

59. The moment when the word "dictator" was said

And flashed a picture of Trump: Powerful

[SKKY]

60. You know what would be bad ass???

Is if after every campaign add they say, "I'm Joe Biden. I'm Kamala Harris. And we approve of this message!" I think that would be dope AF.

[pazzyanne]

61. Tears...

...in a good way! An America we can be proud of again!!!

[COL Mustard]

65. Yep!!!

🇺🇸

[AllyCat]

64. Wait. Was he wearing a tan suit? Horrors!

Great ad!!

[Oppaloopa]

66. It tears me up. That means it's a good ad.

[COL Mustard]

67. It's A Great Ad

I think it’s the best political ad I’ve seen since Reagan’s “Morning in America”. It’s upbeat and sunny, and talks about what President Biden will do you bring us all back together.

Note: I didn’t vote for Reagan and disagreed with a lot of his policies, but that was a great ad.

Note 2: I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Joe Biden.
