    I think Biden supporters are not like bitter Bernie bros. I’m a Biden supporter, and all I’m seeing from fellow supporters is pleasant surprise. We didn’t expect Harris to get this kind of support, but we’re glad to see it.

    Like Biden said in his speech today, saving our democracy is by far and away the most important thing, and it looks like Harris can do it so I’m happy to see my predictions were wrong.

    I do still think Biden was done dirty, but Harris is an excellent candidate and will make a great President. And she has my full support.
