commitment to the importance of voting.

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."

Joe quoting from our nation's intensely liberal mission statement, of course.

For nearly 250 years strong conservatives have disagreed, they think that equality stuff is liberal absurdity, completely and even dangerously untrue. For that entire time they've sought to eliminate these beliefs from not just our nation's laws but ultimately from our national character, but I don't think they've ever been this big a threat.

So I'm genuinely thrilled that Joe's reminding the nation of our critically important founding principles, not just speaking of a list of goals that'd disappear with the principles if they were lost.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
