I wrote a thing about @joebiden. Sharing via thread:
I didn’t vote for Joe Biden in the SC Primary. He wasn& #39;t even in my Top 10. But in this system, you gotta dance with the one who brung ya. That& #39;s Joe Biden, and I& #39;m proud to support him today. (1/13)

Joe Biden is a good human — a good husband, a good son, and a good father. It meant a lot to me to hear him say last night that he’s proud of his wayward son, not just his late son who did everything right. (2/13)
And Biden didn’t simply say that he loves the black sheep kid; he said he’s proud of him. He shows us what forgiveness and unconditional love look like. (3/13)
Joe Biden loves this country. He has served the United States of America his whole adult life. He believes in the greater good and puts the needs of others before his own. (4/13)
Joe Biden is guided by a moral compass illuminated by his devout Christian faith. He exudes joy, despite having endured a lifetime of suffering. One particular Bible verse reminds me of Joe Biden. It& #39;s from the Apostle Paul& #39;s letter to the Romans, 5:3-5. (5/13)
"(W)e rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame b/c God& #39;s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." (6/13)
Donald Trump is a master of shame. But a man like Donald Trump will never break a man like Joe Biden. (7/13)
We need a president like Joe Biden, a president we can be proud of. A president we want our children to look up to. A president who will show them what love looks like. (8/13)
Yeah, Biden& #39;s been in Washington for a million years. Yeah, he’s got a decades-long voting record, some of which hasn’t aged well. Yeah, he says dumb things sometimes. And, yeah, he’s an old white guy. (9/13)
None of those things make Joe Biden comparable to the current occupant of the White House. Sure, he responded with normal human reactions when being pushed around by a bully in the first debate. (10/13)
But suggesting he and Donald Trump were equally at fault for last night& #39;s spectacle is disingenuous and has no basis in reality. I’m sick of the false equivalency. The “both sides-ism.” The equal blame. (11/13)
Only one of those old white guys is an existential threat to this country. Only one lacks empathy. Only one is a chronic liar and a cheat. Only one is in this contest for the sole purpose of advancing his own personal interests. (12/13)
So if you’re inclined to say something along the lines of “they both suck,” please don’t. Because you’re talking about my candidate, Joseph Robinette Biden.
And I’m proud of him. (13/13)
And I’m proud of him. (13/13)
