Disturbing and sickening to think that the fate of this once great country hangs in the balance with so much corruption and division.

[JasonSmith-fpky]

Dang, comments turned on. Its like they don't know what the rest of us know

[darkroom]

The oligarchy is losing its grip on society right now.

The electricity was palpable through my screen. But what I noticed most, was when Barack was talking, you could hear a pin drop. People listened. I hope the country not only listens, but take his words of grace and unity to heart.

They have been in office for 4 years ... are they hating on themselves?

[WD]

Nothing like the mega rich complaining about other people’s privilege and selecting a candidate off race and gender then saying that’s not it ha. What actual policies will improve if given that

[raidersacdc]

I’m shocked comments are on. Especially after reading some of them

[Vicars]

People fail to realize she's been in office for the last 3 years already we've already been living her Legacy

It is essential for Americans to not only register to vote, but to CHECK their registration regularly until election day. Keep making sure you're still registered to vote. And vote as soon as voting opens in your state. There are too many corrupt, underhanded efforts to cancel your vote and your voice in this election - it's going to take constant vigilance every day to get this done.

Cackles, I realize you've done absolutely nothing for the American people for 4 years; but you know what we do during election years - tell the American people whatever it is they want to hear.

So right off the bat, who are the racists?

[blaspemy]

blue party pulling all the tricks this year aye?

[Misterprepper]

What did Kamala actually Do in her term as VP?

[maxlee]

Youtube got rid of down votes counts because of videos likr this one

[XhectorX]

Luckily both Obama and Harris have records we can reference. Look past the "stories" to see what it was Obama did for black people during his administration. What did Harris do? Vote based on their record, not the rhetoric. Rhetoric isnt going to help us economically. Vote on substance, not just because you're told " the other guy is bad". Vote policy, not based off what the media wants you to believe. Do your research before voting. Our country depends on it.

I'm confused why are they talking about hope, love and all that jazz but been in office all this time. When are they going to practice what they preach?

[kjnest]

Nice to see a black multimillionaire couple show how bad America treats minorities?
