At a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Wednesday night, a couple hundred people listened to Joe Biden describe what he plans to do if he wins his 2020 presidential bid: hell re-join the Paris Climate Accord, legislate a pathway to citizenship for immigrants, and reverse some of President Donald Trumps tariff-heavy trade policies. But throughout the nearly two-hour event, the former Vice President routinely returned to an overarching theme: pain and suffering. His own. Other peoples. The nations.
Directly addressing a group of local firefighters in the crowd, Biden rattled through a litany of personal tragedies in which he has relied on first-responders: the 1972 car accident that claimed the lives of his first wife and his baby daughter, the 1980s cranial aneurysm that required he undergo a 13-hour surgery in the middle of a snowstorm, and the 2004 lightning strike that set his home ablaze. They come, and god forbid, you lose your house, your house burns down they are out there with a boot on the corner raising money to help you rebuild your house, he said
We also need a president who is compassion, and understands people,s needs ..not anger like Trump...Joe is that person...

(314 posts)It is easy to get people enraged, and to fuel anger and division.
It is quite another thing to promote compassion and healing.
I know what qualities this American is looking for in our next president.

(1,663 posts)I am confident that a president Joe Biden will be a balm for this country. I've had it with screaming, angry men, who constantly repeat the same speeches....never learning, just always the same old talking points. Joe will unite rather than divide. He's a tried and true democrat. He wasn't my first choice, but he's the best choice we have, now.
I'm all in for Joe! Great post, Iamaartist.
