I'll admit it - I sobbed watching this.

[mcar]

I had never seen this clip before today, and now I’m sitting here wiping tears from my face. Joe Biden is a good man, and he is our only hope to heal and restore the soul of our nation.

1. Dear God who could pull the lever for Dump over this man?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Mean, dumb people. Unfortunately there are a lot of them.

[mcar]

18. Good question

[sandensea]

31. People whose parents mistreated them instead

There's a fairly close correlation between emotional/physical violence at home growing up, and growing up to be a right-winger - with many exceptions, of course.

This is why, you'll notice, Republicans always encourage corporal punishment for children.

[lunatica]

50. You're right. When Republicans talk about family values

what they mean is the father/husband is the boss and the disciplinarian. He rules his house. He has the last word, and he must be obeyed. Children are to be seen and not heard and to be punished in order to build their character. The wife is to obey her superior husband in all things and to cater to all his demands.

[sandensea]

51. +1

Male chauvinism - and the view that women are basically maids, and children are basically property - is one of the common denominators of just about every far-right or fascist party in the world.

Like, say, today's GOP.

35. the kinda people who probably

Enjoy the news that 506 kids at the border are orphans for life, that there are probably still kids in cages, the kind who wanted the Muslim Ban, and who thinks that BLM is a domestic Terrorist group.. The same ignorant bastard who spends hours upon hours watching Fox News and is brain washed into believing that Donald Trump really is America's "Dear Leader" ... the kind of person who would spit on people like myself, who would tell me to "Go the fuck back to China" and other hurtful, hate filled rants. The Stephen Millers of the world...

His base.. will always be there, when he is gone.. and Q-anon ,as stupid as it sounds, will be out in front for a while now, even in our own government.

[moonscape]

3. Thanks. Wow but does the Nation need that hug. n/t

[mcar]

19. It's like a deep, healing breath

[MLAA]

24. You said it, you said it.

My eyes burn 💕

[Moostache]

28. In this COVID-19 catastrophe era, I NEED that hug too!

The entire pandemic is a summation of the error of Trump (that cretin is undeserving of an "era&quot ...

We all need a real hug, but I am settling for a virtual one now, until we have a leader and a plan to allow us all to get back to the real thing in as short a time as possible...

[JDC]

32. No kidding. Truest post I've seen in a while.

I big long hug

[calimary]

52. Understatement of the year.

I.

WANT.

JOE.

BIDEN.

TO.

BE.

PRESIDENT.

[Gothmog]

4. Joe is a good man

[qanda]

5. This has me...

😭 😭 😭

[MontanaMama]

6. Sometimes we all need to hear that everything will be okay.

This man has a well of humanity and empathy that amazes me. He must be our next president.

[stillcool]

7. it isn't only what he does...

it's how people act, and react, in his presence. There is no greater truth than that right there.

[NightWatcher]

8. It's called #BidenCalm

[calimary]

39. It suits.

“Exhausted” is a word I hear more and more frequently in reference to trump.

[Laelth]

9. EMPATHY. That's real. You can feel it. n/t

-Laelth

[USALiberal]

10. I'm crying! So kind! nt

[Mike 03]

11. America is starving for examples like this.

This is why Biden/Harris are going to win.

[sarge43]

12. A mensch

I'll be very proud to vote for him.

[gademocrat7]

13. Compassionate man.

He truly cares about others.

[ffr]

14. I have salt marks

We so need this man. Whatever republicans say about him is complete bullshit! They are the awful ones our parents warned us about.

[crickets]

15. It's raining on my face! What a wonderful man.

The whole nation needs a hug like that. Hang on, people. January's coming. VOTE!

[George II]

16. An amazing man. Thanks for the video.

[Sherman A1]

17. He is a good and decent man

without any doubt.

[Lonestarblue]

20. I've always thought that children have an innate sense of who is good.

I still remember a photo from a couple of years ago of Trump with a little girl who looked fearful and like she wanted to bolt. This kid hugged a perfect stranger and was comforted by him. Trump would have shoved the kid away and turned his back to him.

[BHDem53]

21. Joe hugs him.

sPanky would make fun of him.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. They've run a masterful campaign

They upped their game every week, and held the secret sauce for when the election is on the line. Joe Biden has built the moral imperative against Trump. It's what we didn't have in 2016, the ability to denounce Trump in no uncertain terms. Even though HRC told us and warned us, so many just shrugged it off like too much drama.

[Tess49]

23. Well, this one brought swift tears. n/t

[Pepsidog]

25. Joe is a great man. We need his compassion. We also need him to make it clear there is a new sheriff

in town and like he and Obama fixed the country before, this time he must take no hostages. Our country needs a swift kick in the ass and course correction. Send Obama on another world apology tour. The world deserves an apology

[uponit7771]

26. America needs Joe right now, everyone needs a hug and Biden's got plenty to give.

[TexasBushwhacker]

27. And this one, from Beau Biden's funeral

[Leith]

29. That is wonderful

I just had a good, healing cry. Now it's better.

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. Wow!

🤗

[democrank]

33. Simply beautiful

[iluvtennis]

34. Wow, what compassion. I must've had onions in the kitchen. nt

[hibbing]

36. An honorable, decent and compassionate man n/t

[brer cat]

37. Joe is genuine.

[pansypoo53219]

38. i have a CONSERVATIVE epal. a FAITHFUl conservative. R no matter what.

she believes in choice. but no global warming.

[SKKY]

40. Anyone have the context on this?

[mcar]

41. I believe it was when Biden met with families of the Parkland massacre victims

The young man who approached Biden is the son of someone who was murdered that day.

[SKKY]

43. Yea, I found it and then later Lawrence had a segment on it.

Thanks!
