we all rallied around Kamala both progressives and moderates. Even though most of us who supported Bernie went to Hillary there was still friction, even here you couldn't even talk about it at the time. Now we all love our new team and I think we love them even more knowing how Joe sacrificed to make it happen.

Joe is like everyone's favorite grandpa that we love and respect and our grandpa told us who he wanted us to support and we did.
