Last nights theme of convention: "Joe cares a whole lot about others, and not himself"

I figured out that was the theme. Joe is not just "sensitive" Joe cares about
others more than himself, (or as much as he cares about himself) Joe cares about his family, friends,
people in need that he knows, people in need that he does not know. And, he spends his time caring
about others, in stark contrast to Trump.

and has enough self-respect that he can then pass that respect on to others. Nobody who doesn't
care about themselves can care about others. The flip side of that coin is tRUMP, who only cares about
his own fat orange ass...

They know they don't have anything on the ticket to compare with Biden's humanity.

yourself. That is the One Job that Christians have and it is to be expanded to all people as much as is humanly possible. Today's White evangelicals jettisoned that truth decades ago. Joe's message resonates strongly with me but it makes faux Christians froth at the mouth.

Go Joe!
