Biden promises to end 'darkness' of Trump era

light? no thank you, sounds much like the "change" of Obama. It may not be the best at the moment but still much better than what is trying to come in.

Let There Be Light

Well, a political cancer was just confirmed before our very eyes. You would have thought the Democrats would have learned something 4 years ago, but no........... Just a rehash of what we have heard before.

They're just gonna lose their minds when they lose in November. The Dems, that is.

"Our current president has failed in his most basic duty to the nation: he has failed to protect us,"

Once Trump found out it was mostly 'others', not his fellow 'elite' getting hit hardest by the virus he surrendered the country and returned to his luxury resorts where he could play golf and tweet.

Same with Trump's economy. The only part he cares about is the stock market, where his fellow 'elite' continue to do fine.

While roughly 75% of Americans live pay check to paycheck. And they're lucky in comparison to millions of others who've lost jobs and have almost no hope of finding a replacement.

light? no thank you

Amazing.

light? no thank you

Death cult, no thank you.

The vast majority of the free world is praying for a Biden victory. Trump has been the most incompetent, self centered, uncaring, racist US leader in history. The nose dive in respect for America around the world is unprecedented. The US can ill afford to hit rock bottom for another four years and the world can not afford the continued inept leadership of the former world compass and defender of a justice based world order, that the US used to be.

Trump is anti democracy and anti America. The only thing Trump is for is a rich Donald Trump. Nothing else matters to him. What a disgusting man, he is often placed in the same group of despot leaders from countries like China, North Korea, Russia, Syria and Israel. All in an exclusive group of the worlds worst leaders.

Go Biden 2020. The world needs it to be so.

when the history books are written, the people that sided against trump will be looked at as backwards as the southern secessionists of the civil war...

Wrong.

American interests come first. If that makes other countries mad too bad.

We dont pick our President based on what "the world" wants.

The Biden speech excluded China and the violence in the streets, yet somehow was still dark and hopeless.

The world needs it to be so.

*when the history books are written, the people that sided against trump will be looked at as backwards as the southern secessionists of the civil war..*

I hope that's a typo.

I mean wouldnt it have been really great if lets say Obama and Biden had been given the chance to be President and Vice President for 8 years? If they had the Presidency and the House and the Senate all at once?

They could have fixed all of these "systemic" problems with our country that have supposedly been going on since the 1960s. But alas, I guess in the revised Dem history, Obama was never President and Biden is a brand new politician, not a 47 year veteran of a government paycheck.

Wow Democratic Convention, you’re playing the race card way too much tonight! You all have been in office for years and have done nothing for African Americans. Every four years you do this for a vote. And the violence and death in our communities, yet you say nothing?

They only had a majority in the House and Senate for two years, and wasted it on a water-down healthcare law that the GOP negotiated down to being just slightly better than what we had, but still crappy.

They could have fixed all of these "systemic" problems with our country that have supposedly been going on since the 1960s.

The systemic issues our country faces go back a lot further in history than that.

when the history books are written,

Trump will be remembered for what he has been, not for how he see's himself. He will be ripped to shreds in a footnote of American history and a cautionary tale for all future leaders on what not to be. A poster child for complete failure and incompetence.

'light' over 'darkness'

Truth over facts! We are seriously expected to believe that Biden, who had 47 years in the Senate and as VP and didn't get anything of real significance done except ship jobs to China, is suddenly going to fix the economy and make the coronavirus go away?

Go Biden 2020. The world needs it to be so.

I see he's fooled Peter14.

No, we don't need the unmitigated disaster of epic proportions that a Harris-Biden presidency would be.

I see Serrano would rather have the bullet to the head that is Donald Trump as President.

We dodged a lethal bullet in 2016. We'll dodge this one in 2020 too.

Your shell shocked. You took a bullet in 2016. many have not survived that tragedy. America needs to dodge Trump in 2020 to survive.

No they are not , how do you know what they are praying for?

Many do not even pray in the real free world.

Your religious beliefs are only that, your religious beliefs , Just yours.

That was a very good speech by

Joe Biden Acceptance Speech at 2020 Democratic National Convention

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmQr0WfSvo

Former President Barack Obama Full Remarks at 2020 Democratic National Convention

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aohkgMFfhS4

Both are not presenting a platform for change. Only a stage managed continuation of past failures.

The future lies in the need for an unrelenting strength to resist despotism, defined as any political system where the ruler holds absolute power.

In spite of the choice of candidates, Biden, Trump, the ability to effectively and persuasively challenge both the Governments of China and Russian Federation. Xi, Putin, whose only use for a ballot box is to effectively store there political opponents heads is paramount, crucial.

Both Joe Biden, serving as Vice President, Barack Obama, no introduction needed there failed after two terms in office to halt either the Government of China or the Russian Federations supremacy, their continued abuses of human rights, numerous incidence of genocide, and the construction of concentration camps.

Joe Biden, Mr Nice Guy, is a future President on the wrong side of history.

Donald trump for all his failings, and lack of experience, will have just 18 months to rail against and halt the Government of China enforcing a 200-nautical-mile air defense identification zone encompassing almost all of the South China Sea. Think about this, will Joe Biden stand up to the bully?

I don't believe Joe will, Joe will succumb to appeasement, turn a blind eye it is in Joe nature.

That was a very good speech by Joe Biden. He delivered it with force and good pace. The differences I noticed between Trump and Biden, is that Biden is willing to work and help those who didn't vote or agree with him. Trump on the other hand, will belittle or result to name-calling to those who are Democrat, Liberal, don't submit to his will, or even look at him funny. Trump hires good-looking people who repeat everything he says; whereas Biden will hire good, smart people who are experts in their field.

The vast majority of the free world is praying for a Biden victory.

No they are not , how do you know what they are praying for?

Many do not even pray in the real free world.

Your religious beliefs are only that, your religious beliefs , Just yours.

As an atheist I do not pray But as the majority of the free world ostracizes Trump for his incompetence it is logical they "hope" he loses in 2020.

My apologies for using a term (pray) you object to.

What a speech!

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be compassion.

trump cannot ever match such a speech, he cannot read and miller is not capable!!!!

The vast majority of the free world is praying for a Biden victory.

No, but even Nancy Pelosi, in an unguarded moment, admitted that the Chinese Communist government wants a Biden win being as how Trump has thrown a serious monkey wrench into their plans for global domination.

That was a very good speech by Joe Biden. He delivered it with force and good pace. The differences I noticed between Trump and Biden, is that Biden is willing to work and help those who didn't vote or agree with him.

Yes, it was a nice teleprompter speech. Trump always wants to work with Democrats, they just don’t want to work with him.

Trump on the other hand, will belittle or result to name-calling to those who are Democrat, Liberal, don't submit to his will, or even look at him funny.

They do the same to him, but he’s supposed to not punch back? That’s one of the qualities so many people love about Trump, he just won’t take it like the other Republican Presidents took it.

Trump hires good-looking people who repeat everything he says; whereas Biden will hire good, smart people who are experts in their field.

Trump has smart people, if he didn’t he wouldn’t be where he’s at today neck and neck in the polls and that’s not good for Democrats and Biden hiring people...those are the people that will take charge once Biden is out of the picture, there’s no way the guy can do 4 years.

The trump klan has given up on him getting re-elected, they’re trying to figure out how to cut their losses.

Dumping trump from the business , publicly announcing the disassociation is the only hope for the trump business.

Yes, it was a nice teleprompter speech.

Hilarious since trump cannot even manage that, revolutionary war airports anyone!!!!

I feel that most people are fed up with a President who puts his own ego ahead of American lives. Trump is the type of person who cuts funding for battling wildfires in California just because they didn't vote for him or support him. Trump is the type of person who would rather spend more time talking about doing something and pat himself on the back, than actually doing anything.

What's telling is that there are so many people who are not Democrats who have spoken out against Trump and will vote for Biden. So many Republicans or former Republicans who have voted Democrat for the first time. So many military generals and retired officers who have come out and expressed their disgust at how Trump is willing to disregard the Constitution and put the lives of American soldiers in danger.

Once Trump found out it was mostly 'others', not his fellow 'elite' getting hit hardest by the virus he surrendered the country and returned to his luxury resorts where he could play golf and tweet. 

He didn’t Cuomo, Newsom, DeBlasio knew if they can keep the country locked down indefinitely, it’ll really burn Trump and because of their selfish treasonous acts people are leaving these States and good on them.

Same with Trump's economy. The only part he cares about is the stock market, where his fellow 'elite' continue to do fine.

No, he cares about it overall, wish the last President did, but the economy is picking up and most Americans know Biden and the Democrats policies, greatly expanding the role of government.

While roughly 75% of Americans live pay check to paycheck.

And it will get worse if Dems are in power.

Joe “I Am the Light!” Biden.

Hilarious since trump cannot even manage that.

You’re right, he’s much better when he can be himself and not use the prompter one of his biggest strengths is being able to speak naturally something Biden and Obama can’t do.

Or the rightist mobs and instigating violence

Seriously??

You’re right, he’s much better when he can be himself

Sure like when he recommended ingesting disinfectants!!!

No, he cares about it overall, wish the last President did, but the economy is picking up

It's just undergone the largest contraction in history.

 he’s much better when he can be himself and not use the prompter one of his biggest strengths is being able to speak naturally 

If it weren't you saying that I'd assume you were being funny.

Invalid CSRF

Notice the narrative, I have no policies or promises about how to change America but you should vote for me because I am mot Trump. Voters are the same as you can see in this comment section. Not a single person is talking about what Biden will do for America, just that he isn't Trump.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that Biden is elected. Then we can expect a minimum of four years of bitter, hostile attacks by the party that's out of power -- the proverbial shoe on the other foot. And that is politics in the United States of America. (And always has been.)

The only think to make Americans stop fighting each other is something drastic, like a Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Then they put their petty differences aside long enough to deal with a foreign enemy.

What a silly country. What goofy, immature people. As the dying Mercutio said in Hamlet, "A plague o' both your houses."

he’s much better when he can be himself and not use the prompter one of his biggest strengths is being able to speak naturally 

If by ‘naturally’ you mean sounding like a total ignoramus unable to put two coherent sentences together, yes.

What is it with Republican Presidents who can’t string two coherent sentences together? Bush 1 and Bush 2 were as inarticulate as Trump. When you read how some people felt ‘talked down to by’ Obama, I get the sense listening to Trump’s gibberish makes them feel less inferior.

Trump always wants to work with Democrats, they just don’t want to work with him.

If Trump really wanted to work with Democrats, he wouldn't use Twitter to call people names and criticize their looks, etc. Besides, Biden has more Republican friends than Trump has Republican friends. The only Republicans who side with Trump are weak minded yes-men and yes-women, or his own family.

They do the same to him, but he’s supposed to not punch back?

When Democrats get bullied by Trump, they feel the need to fight back. It's only fair. Many people have first given Trump a fair shake at first, but once he starts nitpicking and name-calling them, they feel the need to fight back and stand up to his bullying. Trump has to realize that if he bullies people, not all will submit to his will. There will be others who will fight back. It's only natural and right.

Trump has smart people,

LOL! Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, etc. are not smart people. If Trump could hire smart people, he wouldn't have to hire his family.

You’re right, he’s much better when he can be himself and not use the prompter

Really? I know some elementary school kids that speak better than Trump. Many of my Japanese students studying English can speak better than Trump. But I wouldn't tell them that because that would be an insult to them.

If by ‘naturally’ you mean sounding like a total ignoramus unable to put two coherent sentences together, yes. 

Compared to listening to the Democrats, he’s definitely softer on the ears.

What is it with Republican Presidents who can’t string two coherent sentences together? Bush 1 and Bush 2 were as inarticulate as Trump.

Biden, Pelosi and Waters can’t talk either so there goes that praised theory out the window.

When you read how some people felt ‘talked down to by’ Obama, I get the sense listening to Trump’s gibberish makes them feel less inferior.

Hmmm, not so sure, at least with Trump, people don’t fall asleep that’s always a plus.

If Trump really wanted to work with Democrats, he wouldn't use Twitter to call people names and criticize their looks, etc.

That’s an excuse! If the Dems wanted to work with Trump, they wouldn’t have boycotted his inauguration, telltale sign right there.

Besides, Biden has more Republican friends

Washington establishment swamp friends, he sure does. He sure does!

When Democrats get bullied by Trump, they feel the need to fight back. It's only fair.

and vice versa, good on Trump for not taking the attacks.

Many people have first given Trump a fair shake

Oh, No they did not! Let’s be perfectly clear on that one.

LOL! Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, etc. are not smart people.

Neither are Biden’s kids.

Really? I know some elementary school kids that speak better than Trump.

Or Biden and they don’t fall asleep.

If liberals want to make the argument Trump is crazy and doesn’t hav all of his cognitive faculties, then Biden is 100 time worse.

If liberals want to make the argument Trump is crazy and doesn’t hav all of his cognitive faculties, then Biden is 100 time worse.

You do forget that Trump has not only attacked and belittled Democrats and liberals, but has also bullied people from the Republican party (like Jeb Bush), just because they didn't agree with his views. He is neither willing nor capable of working with people even in his own party, if they don't follow him lockstep with anything he says. Why should Trump feel he is above the Constitution and the laws that have been passed by Presidents before him? Why should Americans feel the need to feel threatened to speak up and protest when they don't agree with anything he says. Americans don't serve Trump. Trump needs to remember that he serves them.
