Win or lose, Biden will have my respect for this. No matter where you live, it's a rare thing to see a leader truly placing their nation's good before their own pride. I hope others will learn by his example.
I agree... I was shocked when it was announced. But then again, the DNC establishment basically dragged him out of retirement to beat Bernie.
It's deeply ironic to me that a) they almost certainly wouldn't have been in this situation if Bernie had been the nominee last time, and b) as a direct result of that choice their nominee now is formerly the senator with the closest voting record to Bernie's, running with the VP pick that Bernie suggested.
They tried to cut him off at the knees, but in the end, Sanders kind of ended up calling the shots.
Your commit fills me with hope, not just because I’m a Bernie fan, but because it shows that sometimes the better voice does win eventually.
