Biden's speech this morning lifted me out of morning mopes...

I needed to hear that the US, despite all its malcontentedness, can take on the future. I didn't expect it to come from Joe Biden as he spoke before the electrical workers union.

I switched my endorsement from O'Rourke, as I want to give Biden a fair shake to get in the race. I want to hear more from him. I reserve the right to jump back to Warren or O'Rourke... And will view campaign speeches from all the others.

Chris Hayes' coverage of the speech was so narrowed, and yeah, a 'hit piece'. I needed to be reminded of corporate influence over media coverage of candidates, and that I need to experience what each has to offer. If I only relied on msm today, I might not have heard such strong support of union workers, job creation, education, and egalitarian values. He got my attention today.

How does a post become pinned?

I think the 866-OUR-VOTE post from middle of last night needs to be up for election day. I'm new and no clue how to get a post more attention once it's been out for hours.

Thanks for your time and attention!

GOTV! Go Dems! Go Beto!

Ohhh, wise one...

TheFerret! You might be my favorite on DU for your satire and wit, but eh, it's hard to say...So very many good heartfelt posts. I do credit you for partially pushing me to become a deputy voter registrar in a couple counties in Texas. I'm not sure what it was you said, exactly, but I took your word, and I'm GOTV. Please keep up your good work.
I'm new here to posting, but I've been reading a long-assed time.
