He\u2019s got the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery. And he\u2019ll surround himself with good people \u2013 experts, scientists, and military officials who actually know how to run the government, work with our allies, and always put the American people\u2019s interests above their own.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, we need Americans of goodwill to unite in a great awakening against a politics that too often has been characterized by corruption, carelessness, self-dealing, disinformation, ignorance, and meanness. And to change that, we need Americans of all political stripes to get involved in our politics and public life like never before.<\/p>\n<p>For those of us who believe in building a more just, more generous, more democratic America where everybody has a fair shot at opportunity, who believe in a government that cares about the many, and not just the few, who love this country and are willing to do our part to make sure it lives up to its highest ideals \u2013 now\u2019s the time to fight for what we believe in.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ve got a lot more to say about why Joe should be President in the video. I hope you give it a watch.
