Appreciation thread for Joe Biden

77 years old; buried 2 children, watched his older son die of brain cancer; played supporting roll to our first African American President; got lambasted by Kamala Harris for old stances on bussing; unified the Democratic Party; made amends with Kamala Harris; ran a national campaign in the midst of a pandemic and won against the most vile human being ever to hold office in the USA; had his and his family’s personal lives torn to pieces without ever losing his cool or stepping back from his family.

His best friend told him “Joe, you don’t have to do this.” Yes, he did. And yes he has.
