I think Joe deserves a 10 minute standing ovation at the DNC

I’m not a fan of standing ovations, I think they’ve become so common that they are often meaningless. But I sure think Joe Biden deserves the acclaim at the DNC.

I hated that he dropped out, but I'm a die-hard Democrat and supported him unconditionally. He's such a good man.

And I am so psyched by the Harris/Walz ticket!!

👏 👏 👏

Wasn’t there some pundit predicting Donny would get a record-setting ovation at the GOP convention and it all fizzled to nothing after his long rambling speech? Maybe seeing Joe get a long loud ovation would finally push Donny over the edge.

On here, Joe saved democracy for us. Not to denigrate in the slightest all the people that served in our military, and many of them were heroes, but Joe Biden is our hero in a different sense, as he was was the right guy in the right place to stop that evil orange person. If not for Joe, we would all be living under an awful dictatorship right now.

All the good that has been done has been from HIS goodness and compassion for others.

Do a review of Joe's life and accomplishments on the screen.

Point out how much better life has been better than the veteran hater. Killing millions with Covid. The economy is the best in the world.

Then Biden comes on stage and receives the standing ovation.

Then Biden stresses the importance of electing VP Kamala Harris to take the torch so America goes forward. Fighting to keep our freedoms as VP Harris has done all her life.
