As an onlooker in Ireland 🇮🇪. All I can do is tell you decent Americans to not become complacent! The world needs you now more than ever. Whether you like it or not. You're incredibly vital to the rest of the world in every threat we face. So good luck :).

I’m sitting here reading all of the comments from other countries supporting us and I literally have tears in my eyes. I’ve been so scared this past year but I feel the tide turning and I feel positive, optimistic, energized and even excited. Thank you to everyone supporting Blue. Compassion, equality, human rights, and freedom must succeed! 💙💙💙💙💙

Senator Warnock’s speech was fire ! Reminded me of the way my dad used to preach before he was sucked into the cult 😢 the coach’s night night nod was freaking awesome and when Biden came out wiping away tears it was impossible not to cry, he deserves so much for what he has done for our country .”America, America I gave my best to you “ nothing could have said it better !

[scttstnfld]

The comments from all the love and support from our friends and neighbors around the world is very heartening. We got this! Thank you PEI, Tasmania, Belgium, N. Ireland, England.

The joy is PALPABLE! I'm 72, marched at Berkely in '69, have worked for women's rights for 50 years & was distraught after 2016. Pres. Biden's selfless act of passing the baton to Kamala Harris has renewed our hope for Unity. Thank you, Sir💙💙💙💙💙

Seeing all these different countries comment is heart warming, but reminds me of our role on the earth as well. "With great power comes great responsibility"

[vmuwu]

Started crying when he said "America, I gave my best to you"

[zaroffhound]

Pleasant to see so many people being just happy & optimistic. Not angry, vengeful or exhibiting childish glee at aggressive, divisive behaviour...

[Godric_]

As fun and exciting as this is, we cannot get complacent. We must keep this energy, excitement and enthusiasm.

Much love from Czechia! 🇨🇿
So great to see Democrats united and energized again 💙
All fingers crossed for Harris&Walz 💪
