2/... bridge to Americans not matter your ideology. Ill never forget this moment. People dont only vote for who they are most aligned politically. They vote for who makes them feel something. Feel hopeful. Feel seen. Biden is in a league of his own in this.

(673 posts)And the juxtaposition with Trump. Just like this morning when Sanders came up. Essentially Joe says Sanders apologized and he has let it go. Trump would never have done that.
Joe has shown he is compassionate but can still be tough.

(10,828 posts)This is Joe Biden's secret weapon: his basic decency and ability to empathize with people, all kinds of people. And when it comes to grief and loss? There's no one better because he's been there, done that.
After 3+ years of Trump's cruel mouth and actions, Joe Biden is like a long-needed salve to the heart and soul.
People may scoff at that ability to reach out or think it's silly, superficial. But being able to read others on on emotional level is a gift, far easier said than done. It's an ability you can't fake, an emotional intelligence you either have or you don't.
Joe Biden is the genuine article. And people respond to that.
