I hate the "I love Joe, but we need an inspiring savior" meme. It's a hit job.

[UncleNoel]

Joe is exactly what we need.

He will beat tRump like a drum.

1. Back in 2008 they said we needed someone with experience, not some guy who could only inspire

people with his speeches and saw himself as a savior.

[Happy Hoosier]

5. The difference is Obama is an actual skillful leader. NT

[sop]

16. I guess I should have put quotation marks around "they said"

[Mr.Bill]

2. Joe inspires the hell out of me. n/t

[thegoose]

3. He knows how to mop up disasters

Just like my beautiful Barack. He's been there with him.

[onetexan]

21. Ditto

[customerserviceguy]

4. What we need is

the media paying a little more attention to Joe, and a little less attention to Andrew Cuomo.

[LizBeth]

6. Biden is it, whether one loves him or not. Blue wave.

[Grokenstein]

7. I'm highly suspicious of

the "I love Joe buuuuuuuuuut" people who seem to be scuttling out of the woodwork lately to spread their worries and concerns and fretfulness.

Conversely I am grateful for DU's "Ignore User" function and highly recommend everyone give it a tryout.

8. "This electibility thing, what happens when he isn't?"

Answer: He proved in four swift days that he is, in fact, an electibility monster.

9. No love from me to hide behind.

Obama forced me to vote for Joe once, and likely Trump will force me to a second time. It is what it is.

12. Most Bernie voters understand this but more toxic/childish Bernie Bro trolls prefer to burn it down

Don'r Feed the Troll

Gandhi - Bernie Sanders

[Hortensis]

19. There are two Sanders: the high-minded builder he presents to

Democratic voters he needs, especially on national TV, and the populist leader who's strongly reflective of, and draws, those others. Those blabbermouths aren't telling us to get out of their way and promising to smash over us with their "agenda" because they don't have a leader.

This is far from uncommon among Republicans and people from aggressive populist/insurgent groups from anywhere on the political spectrum.

What Gandhi would do about Sanders I don't know, but he'd have his number. India had plenty of wannabe populist leaders Gandhi had to prevail over, and is plagued with rise of their dangerous passions now.

You have to remember that Gandhi was an inspiring charismatic creator of a new nation, a very positive force, while Sanders is a populist leader who's trying to harness the negative passions of Bro types to smash the existing government and get power. If you don't recognize that description, it's because you're drawn by his positive, inspirational face. Gandhi had no destructive face, though; he always strove to bring out the best in people. At base, they are and draw very different people.

11. They go low, we vote Joe.

[sop]

14. Well done. This should be Biden's campaign slogan. I can see Michelle saying it now.

[GemDigger]

15. Not mine, I give a hat tip to Louise Mensch.

I saw it on her twitter feed.

[betsuni]

13. The early strong unity message is thwarting this meme. Blue Wave.

I see the anti-Democrats trying to make it all about the nominee as if he isn't representative of the party, spreading disinformation and trying to convince people that unless that nominee is the one inspiring pure leader all is lost. Not working as well as last time. It's not about Joe Biden, it's about the Democratic Party. Whenever I see something starting with "You Joe Biden supporters ... " I think: Nope, this is about the Democratic Party against Trump and you can't make this about one person this time.

[whistler162]

17. I want a....

Omar Bradley(Joe Biden) more than a Douglas MacArthur(in many ways Trump) type leader. Cut the bragging and get to the doing!

[Sunlei]

18. I'm going to vote blue if we get to vote. The website needs updating to online streaming!

People can't meet anymore face to face to campaign. The official website needs updating.
