If you are unsure about that, simply take stock on the number of newly elected house democrats whom have already had to distance themselves from others in the race. I believe he is anathema to the cult of personality candidates, whom all seem to have much shorter coat tails (ie. Our Revolution type candidates lack of success in 2018).
For Joe, it's about continuing the work started and rebuilding that which has been destroyed by dolt45. Joe is a reminder that the majority of us want to do all the good we can. We don't have to demolish in order to build. So, I would say Joe stands for decency.
Joe stands for regaining our footing and respect on the world's stage. He has a history of working with our international neighbors on the many challenges we all face. So, I would say he also stands for world leadership.
Joe has battled and survived personal health scares. He has also lost some whom he cared about from a horrendous disease. He was also there for the inception of the ACA. So, I'd say Joe also stands for making our healthcare better.
Joe has sustained personal loss. He has buried a wife and children. Yet despite these heart breaking experiences, he continues to want to serve our nation. Therefore I'd say, Joe stands for both empathy and perseverance.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
