He beat you in states where he didn't spend any money.

Until Rep. Clyburn endorsed him in SC
So that argument makes no sense
Sounds like a Trump accusation

As well as having a champion to bring people together.

Trump is going to spend BILLIONS. It will take the BILLIONS of Bloomberg and Steyer to elect Democrats down ballot and win back the White House.

will be thrilled to realize we're actually wealthy and powerful.

Because we now know Biden has been operating on fumes when it comes to overall donations. The fact that he managed to run the table last night is equally amazing. Outspent 20-1? We're talking nothing short of a political miracle with this exception:

When queried about what voters wanted in 2020 the answer was not Revolution but a return to normalcy, electing someone who would restore decency and integrity to the White House and US governance.

Not as sexy as 'the sound of marching feet' but an indication that Americans want to reset the clock and rid themselves of the disaster that is Donald Trump. Before anything else.

Calling this race 'a fight for the soul of the country?' Wasn't so corny after all.

We've been among Joe's small donors for months now. Proud to contribute when the going was rough. Perhaps some others would like to help out.
