I mean, they have stopped wearing their hoods. Now they say it openly and still find jobs in places like Daily Wire, NewsMax, or some blue collar job where they don't care as long as you do good work... there is nearly no consequence for being openly racist anymore.
I only love my country when I win. I said it. Doesn’t imply violence like JOE seems to think it does. Been a long time since an elected representative made me love my country. In fact, I’m not sure anyone’s ever done it before. It may be that all of my affection for the US has nothing to do with the country itself and solely the propaganda that’s been pumped out constantly throughout my life,. I only remember the US becoming more of a shit hole. More peoples rights being peeled back, stealing from the poor to give to the rich, lying us into a war to kill people who have nothing against us, throwing our young people into a meat grinder for corporate profits. He’s right in a sense, I can’t say I love my country only when I win. Because in truth, I don’t love my country. Even if I won, had a magic wand, and waived all the policies I would see done to improve the lives of my fellow Americans into being, I’m sure I wouldn’t love my country. After all, they’d immediately set about tearing it all down.
The concept that all Americans are treated equally is as alive as Joe Biden. Which is to say basically brain dead, but still technically on the way out, give it a couple months.
@@Zatarra69 you got me curious, so I looked it up and found this quote: "By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.

Further, it should only be done if the benefit to be gained is so great and certain that it far outweighs the damage done by the constriction of individual liberty.

I think every Democracy in the world does a hybrid of the two.
This is such a small thing but the way one (former) candidate talks about his WIFE is so night and day versus the other guy. None of the constant barrage of "my beautiful wife, my wife is hot" which has a tone of "look what I pulled the rest of you could never." Instead: "This woman still takes my breath away. When she comes down the stairs my heart still races. I love her more than she loves me."
Yeah the one saying going on and on about how hot his wife is and stuff is a great representation of the boorish sexism of that generation whereas Biden shows us the old-fashioned chivalry and gentleman conduct of that generation. The yin and yang of masculinity of their time.

What kills me is that in a country like that with 300,000,000+ people, and we only ever hear mostly about the shit that floats to the top rather than people who love their country and want to make it better before their ticket's punched. Biden, love him or hate him, was one of those guys who cared for America from beginning to end..l The Crime Bill? We don't talk about that.
That abortion speech was so well done that I cant imagine how the republicans can speak against that without sounding like monsters (well, more than they already do)
Vaush has a point there, many leftists are so jaded and forget that the medium voter cares a lot about the vibes and a good narrative, a spectacle is important to convince those voters that you can give the stability or change that they desperately want. Good to see this wave of progressive candidates that more than just having good positions also have charisma like Walz or AOC
@@SonicTheoGaza is only on the minds of a small portion of the population and they see the current administrations work towards a cease fire and trumps opposition to it.
@@ryanmahon1 I agree. Bernie's entire deal is staying on message and almost exclusively on policy and that's great for those of us who are into politics, but the median voter cares about vibes just as much as the policies. I think Bernie is one of the most dedicated, professional and serious politicians out there on the Hill, but that also means he rejects stuff like the DNC for the spectacle that it is, forgetting that it's necessary to get your message out there.
Joe helped the first black male president and helping the first black female president into office. He served as an excellent defender from American Nazis. He is a transitional and transformative president in American history. Thank you, Joe.
He really is right in the middle of history, isn't he? On the ticket of the first black president, and led into office the first female vice president. If all goes well, he may be handing off power to that very same person as the first black and south Asian female president. It sounds like a fun bit of trivia, but imagine being right there in the trenches as history is being made. He may not be the star of the show, but he's such an important force behind this monumental shift for good that, even for him, it's got to feel surreal.
The acceleration from "It's so Joever" to "We're so fucking back" in this election cycle has been ludicrous. I've never felt more optimistic about a campaign since 2008.
No, it won't. It'll continue on exactly as it is now: a pathetic husk of what could've been, cheered on by liberal dumbasses who think "well, black lady is president now, problems solved"
Remember, we can't just win by a point, because they'll try to commit fraud around the margins to get themselves over the finish line, and all it takes is some judges in on it for that to work. It needs to be by a margin so large that it doesn't matter what they do. Also, the larger the margin, the less serious anyone will take these people moving forward. A landslide means these ideas move back to the deeply unserious lunatic fringes, where they came from, and belong.
Unironically that's probably what happened. We KNOW what the presidency does to people who actually, you know, govern. Of course Trump came out of it unchanged, but with everything Biden did he'd have to have been superhuman to not be run down by it. This is the kind of sendoff he deserved.
One can hope that Dark Brandon gives us one final appearance before he leaves... perhaps when the Republicans try their second Coup attempt when Kamala wins
@@Pyre i would disagree about Trump being unchanged. He is still sassy and charismatic, but compared to 8 years ago, he has gotten sooo tired and eepy. His last speech looked so tired and passionless.
That Biden speech is like that part in a martial arts movie where the old master who has been fraile and slow the whole movie suddenly gets yoked up one last time and rips his enemy apart.
It’s like when Pai Mei snatched out Elle Driver’s eye, and then Beatrix Kiddo comes in to snatch out her other eye. Pai Mei is Biden, Beatrix Kiddo is Harris, and Elle Driver is Trump. Perfect comparison (even Pai Mei’s death by Elle Driver) and you can’t tell me otherwise lol.
That is incredibly apt. How can you take something so perfect, that was set up for you and turn it to absolute horseshit? It was so sad. Nobody expected it to go from one of the most respected shows in history to whatever the fuck those last four seasons were.
The only way to win against the scheming, cheating, corruption filled Repugs is to have a blowout vote, like nothing America has ever seen before. It has to be by a margin so that even the courts couldn’t save the Repugs!
@@julianmcmillan2867 tbf the fall of got is easily explained, when Dumb and Dumber could juste adapt the story to the big screen they did that well, but when they ran out of completed novels they had to actually write dialogue and events, that's when we could finaly witness the writing skills of Dumb and Dumber, they were not very skilled.
@@telmobrito519 It's actually a little more complicated than that I think. They fucked up and omitted some things earlier on that become very important later and they were screwed without. The absolute biggest thing by far was cutting Aegon, an incredibly important character from the books, which ruined Varys' character (his whole masterplan in the books is to install Aegon as king, not this "good of the realm" bullshit), fucked over Dany's character and the Essos storyline in general, and forced them to keep Cersei alive far past the point she should have been in the story in order to replace Aegon's role in the endgame. This along with cutting 90% of the Dorne and Iron Islands storylines left them completely screwed in the endgame, which combined with their inability to write anything decent without novel to reference gave us season 8
That's what Fox always does when covering Democrat speeches. They never actually play the events, they cut to a panel of guests who tell you how to think about it. It's literally random people you've never heard of sitting there and telling your parents/loved ones to their faces "This is really bad. You shouldn't like this. This is a weak speech. Blah blah blah". If it's a Trumk speech they play it in full. If it's a Kamala or Walz speech they cut to their "Panelists" to "Analyze" the speech. Fox News is dystopian af and needs to be shut down.
@@j.f.fisher53188 Yeas of Harris, 8 years of Walz, and 8 years of AOC baby! We could legitimately have a long lasting Democrat Rule if the Republicans embarass themselves with another Coup attempt. Trump rules the party and the RNC, when he dies they don't have anyone to replace him (and crippling debt to handle too). There very much could be a potential timeline where the Republicans fail to win the Presidency for years to come.
@@j.f.fisher5318 Walz has said he doesn't have ambitions for the presidency. That could change but especially since he'll be 68 at the end of two terms with Kamala I'd guess he's going to leave a clear path for the next generation. Hopefully it's someone like AOC not someone like Gavin Newsom
As she should. The GOP tries as hard as they do to ridicule her specifically because they see how much potential she has. Give AOC the Presidency and a united Congress and she'll leave everything they've done in the past few decades in ruins.
Joe Biden ended Paul Ryan and the young intellectual wing of the GOP with one debate. They lost so bad that the entire ideology of GOP shifted to what Trump is now. @@tp1357
I’m actually proud of Biden. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but if Kamala wins he just saved his legacy. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain… and Biden chose the hero route (sort of)
@whyttestar Joey gave the DNC access to his secret prescription coke stash after stepping down. Now they are rolling over their obstacles like nothing.
I wonder if they're provided with multiple audio channels to help with that, like vaush's raw mic input and the computer's raw audio output, or if they had to do some computer magic to separate it out.
I believe it's called "audio ducking" and it's when the volume automatically lowers on one track (music) when another track (mic) passes a certain volume threshold so you can hear over the first track easier.
They’re only pieces of meat to him. It’s become increasingly more clear that Melania tolerated him only as long as she needed. Notice how she always swatted his hands away and now you never see them together? She’s probably itching to divorce him.
They’re so butt hurt. On the defense. Busy telling the democrats how they think it’s party should be run. They need to worry about their own failing party. Democrats are the rockstars here.
After this last speech, im convinced Joe touched an old plank of wood at Harper's Ferry, and Dark Brandon is actually the ghost of John Brown, who occasionally takes control long enough to spit american fire from his lips
Moving the DNC to the left was always easier than trying to elect third parties in a system where Duverger's law makes third parties impossible. Anyone screeching about third parties before we have voting reform is not serious. I advocate for STAR voting, but even ranked-choice voting is better than our current 1-vote FPTP system.
The Democratic message just seems so much more urgent. The emotional significance is powerful. We all know groceries are more expensive and that is an issue but how can you compare that to taking fundamental reproductive rights away. The border is also a BS issue because if it was significant then Republicans would have made more of an effort to come to a bipartisan agreement.
the missing piece of info here is that its not an either or thing, trump wouldn't actually fix grocery prices. its genuinely a better venture at this point to change the democrats mind on an issue than vote for the other party to fix it, because the republicans are barely capable of governing now.
I _so_ get how Vaush is feeling. After years & years of wading through political sh!t & being as close as possible to voting in a Christian fascist hellscape, I have hope that the country has a realistic chance to return towards the path of progress. I feel like the sun has finally come out from behind a hugeMAGA hot air balloon!
Yes. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic and not cynical. There are egedlords and doomers and depressed people that have a very twisted perception of everything and pro russia tankie psyops playing games, and they're trying to pass their worldview as cannon, but it really isn't. As Vaush said, I'm happy and no one can take it from me.
AOC, Fain, Crockett, Warnock, and Biden all gave solid to fantastic speeches, and that segment about abortion was honestly one of the most moving things I've ever seen in politics. Full of moments that will be endlessly clipped and circulated, and the most potent convention in terms of messaging the Democrats have put out in a very long time.
Honestly, even *Clinton* was damned impressive, and the libs loved it. This one really had something for absolutely everyone. Where have *these* Democrats been all my life? Someone pinch me
Help! The Democrats are in a frightening state of array! 😂 (it really is an odd turn of events though, since, as Vaush said, they've largely been known as incompetent for decades.)
Harris so far has shown an incredible amount of skill when it comes to electoral politics, i wish the Labour Party here in the uk would take notes on how to enthuse their base but, Starmer is a literal walking wetwipe so.
no judgement of the speech, just seeing him virtually side-by-side w/ other speakers highlights (to me) how him bowing out really was the best move. Initially I thought it was a bad idea. I've never been so happy to be wrong. edit: typos
I believe Biden felt relieved after dropping out in a way. That's the only explanation why he's so much more charismatic and speaks so much better now.
He should have never ran for a second term. I knew shit was gonna get bad as soon as he announced his second run. He was way too late, but dropping out at the last second may have actually given us a boost because we were all so sad and hopeless up until that point. We have hope again.
@@katyungodlyspeak for yourself, if he never ran at all he wouldn’t have gotten any of the laws and regulations passed, no jobs would have been created or economy would be in shambles and we would still be in the grips of Covid. Have some respect
AOC's speech slayed, I was shocked how good it was. The part with the three ladies talking about reproductive rights, if the Dems don't post that everywhere on every single commercial on every single normal run of the mill cable tv channel, they are fools. Nothing has the potential to sink Trump more than that.
Facts. I want harris and walz to FORCE trump to talk about reproductive rights and project 2025 at the debate. The right is trying so hard to avoid talking about those issues because they know they cant reveal their true agenda with a straight face and not lose half their support. SAY IT TO OUR FACE. NO MORE HIDING💯💯
"I'm not dropping out Jack, this was a test. I'm staying in the race. Waaatch me!" NGL that would have been hilarious and terrifying. 😂 But thank you Joe. It wasn't easy but thanks for dropping out and all the good work you have done.

Wow, Bidens speech was really good, he was energetic and quite charismatic. Maybe when he doesn't have the weight of the election on the shoulders hes feeling good. I suppose it's good situation he can concentrate on day-to-day work and endorse Kamala here and there with good speech. Kamala could campaign in full-time mode. It certainly helps.
The day of that debate, not only did he have covid and didn't known it, but he had two events he went to before it that day. Coupled with his age anyone would be a zombie. But yes, without the weight of the presidency and reelection on his shoulders, he has more time to rest thankfully.
@@mikem5820 Scheduling two events the day of one of the most important debates in the history of the country would be a stupid play at any age, let alone for an octogenarian. I unironically hope someone got fired for that blunder. Though it got us Harris/Walz so I guess it balances out.
Jasmine Crockett was also really good. She reached a certain demo that is one of the most important Dem base components, black women, in a way the others did not. AOC was her usual shining brilliant self, and Steve Kerr was simply terrific. Everybody actually was good.
Isn't it great that the DNC has so many progressive speakers and mainliners this time round as opposed to the typical generic establishment Dems every other cycle?

Watched this live on youtube stream. It was really insane how chat keeps spamming "wrap it up" for Joe Biden when it was a pretty good speech. Kind of sad how jaded and cynical people are that they don't realize when something good is happening.
He was good for a confused old man. Not good for a president. I think not wanting him to talk till he sundowns is fine. It was a good speech and I hope to never hear one from him again.
It's honestly nice to see Vaush express his enthusiasm and happiness. Not just because it's adorable, but also because It helps my anxious butt relax a bit.
I love how chat completely fell apart immediately after each of the 3 times he tripped over his words during the speech. But also just in general after every single spoken or imagined word and sometimes even completely for no reason at all.
Seriously, he's not running anymore, chill. He's an 81 year old man with a stutter. He's doing his best. Give him his grace on his last speech goddamn.
People talk a lot about career politicians in a negative way. While I see the point, there is also something to be said for the value of experience, contacts developed over years, and the ability to get things done. Joe Biden is the perfect example if this…the amount of bipartisan legislation he was able to pass in 4 years in a political climate where one party thinks the word bipartisan is evil…is nothing short of miraculous, and I don’t think anyone else could have done it. Thank you Joe. 💙
"Hey, so we learned that if we turn up the heat, the stuff in the pan actually cooks!" And we're all here shouting "That's what we've been saying!!! Finally!!" XD
It’s incredibly refreshing that Democrats are finally acknowledging what everyone knows about Trump and the Republicans. Raskin, Warnock, AOC, Crockett, Clinton and even Biden were spitting some truth.
Unfortunately though, that's still part of the Lib Mind Virus. Liberals love the Supreme Court, it's like a high court of wizards to them. They're not gonna blame them for overturning Roe v Wade. At best, the Dems quietly pack the court with their own guys and don't really talk about it. At worst they leave it as it is.
Joe reciting the oath from memory is powerful when you consider that Donald Trump probably can’t do that and probably forgot it the moment after he said the words.
Vaush is right, this all could’ve gone so much worse but save for 1 or 2 pauses and needing to correct himself, that was actually very good. The best he’s sounded since he gave that Dark Brandon SOTU in Philly 2 years ago
@@Spheronic No offense but this is delusional recency bias. He just didn't do that much in the grand scheme. Biden is at best at the significance of T.Roosevelt or Eisenhower.

This has nothing to do with anything (except Dune), but from hearing Vaush’s pronunciation, I realized that if you pronounce the first e of “fremen” with a long e it becomes “free men”, and that was probably intentional lol.

8:01 I'd pay a lot to see Trump's live reaction to Joe Biden giving a heart warming message to Jill Biden, Trump probably seething at that part and being jealous 😂
Whoever said "you're allowed to be excited, Vash, you don't have to blah blah for chat" is correct. There is a change in the air, you can feel it. The days of qualifying that "the democrats still suck, they are still corporate dems who don't actually want to do anything etc.." might be numbered. And it's okay to be excited about it. I'm old AF and I've never had this much hope for change in my life. And just to add to my joy, I think it's all Trump's fault lol. I think he was so mega megalomaniacally, standard issue evil, it woke all the moderates up.
Yeah, like the majority of Democrats in Congress are corporate hacks and such buttttt....we've also never had SO MANY progressive candidates and leaders in the Congress before. And I have hope that we can keep pushing the Overton window to the left and change the trajectory of this nation with the AOCs, Bernies, Crocketts, and Warnocks of the country. We can make real change with the right people in power.

For those who dont know, the Romans had a politician named Cincinnatus, who was nominated to be dictator over the country in a time of war, for 1 year. He then peacefully stepped down and ensured rome went back to its standard 2 premier + senate system. 20 years later, he had retired to be a farmer, but Rome needed him again, and so he assumed the dictator role for another 16 days in order to sort it all out, and went back to farming. We really do love our modern day Cincinnatus's like Joe Biden, dont we boys?
I wish the Liberal and the NDP had this much energy and charisma, it would be nice for Justin Trudeau to have a backbone of titanium, standing up to the Tories and their backers, but for now, I wish the US the best of luck, and the best of luck to the DNC.
Hillary 2016 over Bernie pushed a lot of demexit votes for 3rd party candidates. Kamala can bring the the anti-Hilary voters back in, as well as the anti-trump voters.
What Clooney doing? He demanded a new candidate and got one with a flood of enthusiasm and fundraising. Why isn't he on point fundraising? Why is "The Dude" getting more headlines on fundraising than Clooney?
I'm a genuine fan of Joe. He's honor and integrity personified. I would vote for him even if he couldn't talk anymore. It's his character I would vote for. I'm glad Kamala is on the ticket because our chance is better but I would always vote for Joe.
Agreed. He's just a genuinely good man who loves his family and his country, and believes in democracy and the potential of America. He has dedicated his life to public service, and even right up to the end, he is still putting the needs of the people over his own desires. He's made mistakes over his lengthy career, but he's also made great strides to progress and grow as a person and a politician, changing with the times instead of resisting progress. I'm proud to have voted for him and I'm grateful to him for everything.
I thought Biden was great considering how he has been for the last year. It was a good "farewell" speech. Of course the online left though it was terrible. Cenk literally said he didn't like the speech because it was "too angry." Cenk.
Even the Pod Save America guys were ragging on it, saying he should have promoted Kamala more. Like??? Dude, there's 3 more days for that, and everyone else tonight did that already. This was his farewell address. He did something unprecedented in the history of the WORLD -- willingly giving up power for the good of the country even though he did not want to step down -- so let him have his moment! Let him reflect on his legacy and his successes. Give the man his flowers. I don't understand people trying to throw water on his speech. This was clearly the speech he wanted to give, and if this is what he wanted to do, then let the man say what he wants to say. He's earned it.
This was the best speech i ever heard him give honestly! (i also enjoyed his state of the union). There is absolutely NOTHING incognitiveky inclined about him whatsoever 😂😂😂

@@telmobrito519 It's actually a little more complicated than that I think. They fucked up and omitted some things earlier on that become very important later and they were screwed without. The absolute biggest thing by far was cutting Aegon, an incredibly important character from the books, which ruined Varys' character (his whole masterplan in the books is to install Aegon as king, not this "good of the realm" bullshit), fucked over Dany's character and the Essos storyline in general, and forced them to keep Cersei alive far past the point she should have been in the story in order to replace Aegon's role in the endgame. This along with cutting 90% of the Dorne and Iron Islands storylines left them completely screwed in the endgame, which combined with their inability to write anything decent without novel to reference gave us season 8
My family watched the Fox News coverage of the convention. They switched to a panel during the “abortion stories” segment. I bet that was intentional

"Hey, so we learned that if we turn up the heat, the stuff in the pan actually cooks!"
And we're all here shouting "That's what we've been saying!!! Finally!!" XD
It’s incredibly refreshing that Democrats are finally acknowledging what everyone knows about Trump and the Republicans. Raskin, Warnock, AOC, Crockett, Clinton and even Biden were spitting some truth.
"Old ghosts with new garments" is raw dialogue
Definitely up there with "I'm preaching to the choir but the choir needs to sing" from Walz, imo
The best speech by far in my book was Senator Michigan showing Project 2025? Shawn Fien, AOC and Senator Warknock!!!
They need to talk about their plan to put more Dems on to the Supreme Court. Like 13 more justices would do I think
Unfortunately though, that's still part of the Lib Mind Virus. Liberals love the Supreme Court, it's like a high court of wizards to them. They're not gonna blame them for overturning Roe v Wade. At best, the Dems quietly pack the court with their own guys and don't really talk about it. At worst they leave it as it is.
Joe reciting the oath from memory is powerful when you consider that Donald Trump probably can’t do that and probably forgot it the moment after he said the words.
Vaush is right, this all could’ve gone so much worse but save for 1 or 2 pauses and needing to correct himself, that was actually very good. The best he’s sounded since he gave that Dark Brandon SOTU in Philly 2 years ago

Whoever said "you're allowed to be excited, Vash, you don't have to blah blah for chat" is correct. There is a change in the air, you can feel it. The days of qualifying that "the democrats still suck, they are still corporate dems who don't actually want to do anything etc.." might be numbered. And it's okay to be excited about it. I'm old AF and I've never had this much hope for change in my life. And just to add to my joy, I think it's all Trump's fault lol. I think he was so mega megalomaniacally, standard issue evil, it woke all the moderates up.
Yeah, like the majority of Democrats in Congress are corporate hacks and such buttttt....we've also never had SO MANY progressive candidates and leaders in the Congress before. And I have hope that we can keep pushing the Overton window to the left and change the trajectory of this nation with the AOCs, Bernies, Crocketts, and Warnocks of the country. We can make real change with the right people in power.
His term is nearly Joever, but our work is far from Bidone.
Thank you Vaush for being the DNC's greatest warrior
The I in CIA stands for Ian
The DNC is so refreshingly normal and grown-up compared to the RNC.
Please do not take enthusiasm and excitement for granted this election.. we did that in 2016 sadly. PLEASE VOTE!
Pokemon GO TO THE POLLS.
@@ladyofrillwaterthe curse of Clinton still lingers on the democratic party.
Hillary was absolutely unlikeable though, and i am a lib... Even if right wing has entrenched itself in american politics, i feel like democrats have a much higher chance of winning based off candidate NOT being fcking Hillary.
Put Trump behind bars!!!
Be a good democrat!
Stop buying Tesla cars!
There are so many better EV alternatives now
@@rubberwoodyThe only thing Tesla really had before was they were first. Now that every other car company has EV, there is no reason to buy a Tesla.
@@mikem5820All the major car manufacturers donate to Republicans but at least they can shut their yappers about it.
@@Toastybees And don't brag about firing people trying to form unions.
@@mikem5820genuine question, i don't know muvh about cars. are there any somewhat small EVs? All i've seen are those giant truck-ish things. Small EV city cars would be so much more practical
For those who dont know, the Romans had a politician named Cincinnatus, who was nominated to be dictator over the country in a time of war, for 1 year. He then peacefully stepped down and ensured rome went back to its standard 2 premier + senate system. 20 years later, he had retired to be a farmer, but Rome needed him again, and so he assumed the dictator role for another 16 days in order to sort it all out, and went back to farming.
We really do love our modern day Cincinnatus's like Joe Biden, dont we boys?
Darth Brandon's final hurrah
Time for Warlock Walz to take over
He has altered the Democratic presidential ticket. Pray he doesn't alter it any further.
"Just once more, let me... speak to you, with a president's voice."
You can still understand him better than trumps ramblings.
Vaush stop posting while I'm at school, it's chemistry class now

Jamie Raskin absolutely killed it. Saying that Trump could never take no for an answer, from either courts, voters or women, was genius.
DNC 2024 should be subtitled "Preservin Democracy 2: Biden Boogaloo"
I wish the Liberal and the NDP had this much energy and charisma, it would be nice for Justin Trudeau to have a backbone of titanium, standing up to the Tories and their backers, but for now, I wish the US the best of luck, and the best of luck to the DNC.
Literally all the part leaders suck in Canada. (Especially the conservatives) ❤ 🧡
Canadian politics simply has no energy compared to this.
All I can think of is the moment during the stream when Vaush said “why? TO ESTABLISH COMMUNISMMM!!!”
Hillary 2016 over Bernie pushed a lot of demexit votes for 3rd party candidates. Kamala can bring the the anti-Hilary voters back in, as well as the anti-trump voters.
History will remember Biden very fondly
Kamala and waltz bringing that joy like luffy
Bringing that joy like a Houthi pirate!
?
@@Ironcorgi2 Just a Hasan shoutout lol
The drums of liberation beat in our hearts
Biden actually seems like he’s kindof with it in this speech. Stepping down probably took a lot of stress off him.
What Clooney doing?
He demanded a new candidate and got one with a flood of enthusiasm and fundraising.
Why isn't he on point fundraising?
Why is "The Dude" getting more headlines on fundraising than Clooney?
This will be a great ending for the Joe Biden biopic (starring Chris Evans as Joe Biden).
Man, I'm not really into getting big name actors for every role, but Chris Evans is a solid pick ngl.
@@BRAINSPLATTER16 I feel as though he could bring likability to the role, plus he looked exactly like Biden at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
This just makes me think how sad it is that Alan Arkin died before he could star in the Bernie Sanders biopic.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770Ngl at the end of Endgame I saw him and thought "holy shit Captain America *is* Joe Biden!"
In about 20-30 years yes, actually
36:39 exactly ...... it goes to show they made the RIGHT choice changing the nominee. Joe did well but it was time for a change
I'm a genuine fan of Joe. He's honor and integrity personified. I would vote for him even if he couldn't talk anymore. It's his character I would vote for. I'm glad Kamala is on the ticket because our chance is better but I would always vote for Joe.
Agreed. He's just a genuinely good man who loves his family and his country, and believes in democracy and the potential of America. He has dedicated his life to public service, and even right up to the end, he is still putting the needs of the people over his own desires. He's made mistakes over his lengthy career, but he's also made great strides to progress and grow as a person and a politician, changing with the times instead of resisting progress. I'm proud to have voted for him and I'm grateful to him for everything.
I thought Biden was great considering how he has been for the last year. It was a good "farewell" speech. Of course the online left though it was terrible. Cenk literally said he didn't like the speech because it was "too angry." Cenk.
Even the Pod Save America guys were ragging on it, saying he should have promoted Kamala more. Like??? Dude, there's 3 more days for that, and everyone else tonight did that already.
This was his farewell address. He did something unprecedented in the history of the WORLD -- willingly giving up power for the good of the country even though he did not want to step down -- so let him have his moment! Let him reflect on his legacy and his successes. Give the man his flowers.
I don't understand people trying to throw water on his speech. This was clearly the speech he wanted to give, and if this is what he wanted to do, then let the man say what he wants to say. He's earned it.
This was the best speech i ever heard him give honestly! (i also enjoyed his state of the union). There is absolutely NOTHING incognitiveky inclined about him whatsoever 😂😂😂
The RNC looked like straight out of the boys
56:05
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh why did I get chills there. I haven't gotten chills at anything political since Bernie's "would you fight for someone you do not know?" speech. Damn Biden, damn
Biden was a genuinely great speaker, age just got to em. Well performed, eepy joe
Okay, that is a kinder, affectionate way of saying it, and I'm taking that for my own, nicely done.
