21. I've wanted a Biden/Harris from before Joe even announced. Why?

I think they are jointly representative of our party today.

Majority (maybe) whites who lean liberal but are willing to compromise with a huge component, soon to be a majority if not already, who don’t see America thru rose colored color glass and are pushing like hell to go pedal to the medal to remake the country in what it can truly be. Does it creat tension? Of course. But that’s where change comes from.

Joe is a good man. Harris is our future.

Full disclosure: I’m a 54 year old southern white male. I welcome a nation where no race is a majority. Until we get there I don’t see how we can have an enlightened nation. Racism is just too strong in too many whites.
