https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/455760002Heard Joe Lewis also interjected himself into his local March For Our Lives. Is it DUs position that only young people speak at these events (not oldsters like Bernie or Joe?) Do we hate the Joes now?
Just trying to clarify things after some epic threads this week
Loved my local march. A thousand+ attended in a deep red area. Lead speaker was an elderly local activist minister whose deeply immersed in establishing citizen oversight boards for police departments, who also hugely boosted the high school speaker who followed her. Our march was a true melting pot of old, seasoned, young, inexperienced, white, brown, black, lgbtq, religious and not. I was humbled to see the unity.
It's time to stop the divisiveness

If a community center is cutting a ribbon, Joe shows up with his own scissors.

Saw the governor at a department store and passed the Chief Justice on the street.

From CNN, Dec. 2012: "On gun control, look to Biden"

.....
The resulting legislation banned the manufacture of 19 types of semi-automatic firearms and criminalized the possession of high-capacity magazines.
.....
Unfortunately, the assault weapons ban expired in 2004. Since then, numerous lawmakers, including Joe Biden, have tried and failed to get the ban renewed.
It's his big issue. Bernie on the other hand. . .

And he's always doing this in Delaware, even when he isn't heading into re-election.
