Joe Biden vows to end 'season of darkness' as he accepts Democratic presidential nomination

Joe Biden has vowed to unite America and lead the country to overcome “this season of darkness”, as he accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday evening, a long-sought moment that comes more than 30 years after he first ran for president

He talks like he wasn’t in Washington, DC for the last 50 years and VICE PRESIDENT FOR 8 YEARS!!! Weird, huh?

[oh]

"The days of cosying up to dictators are over! " well said Mr. Biden

[worldtraveller]

Republican astroturfers hard at work in the comments, I see

[radcow]

I can't tell the jokes part from the real comments tells you everything really

[graceomalley]

Cool to hear Seamus Heaney quoted. Go Joe! Defeat the forces of orangeness. 🍊

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
-Joe Biden on Obama

[KeepCalmAndTravelOn]

Great speech. Nice to listen to someone who knows more words than "tremendous" and "very, very".

[PAULROBERTS]

The gift of GREEN LIGHT ! Not the Trump darkness . We remain

[harrykitchener]

Thank to all the ppl pointing out the dark is in fact the physical absence of light and therefore cannot be beaten but i think it might have been a metaphor 😂😂

[Sunnysunflower]

This man's presence makes me physically ill. His lies assault my ears. I can smell the ROT! He can't hide his sin... this evil will NOT win

[ellerellerek]

Didn't take his eyes off the teleprompter even for a second... impressive.

[FNobody]

Voting is more like is a question of choice, not a person.
A president is like a symbol or like a waymark.
That's why Biden better than Trump.

[UpdatedSecondsAgo]

Yep sounds like something Joe “if you vote for trump you’re not black” Biden would say

[NickEG]

C'mon Man? Poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids!

[geoffblackman]

Sounds so genuine doesn't he, is he made of plastic

[roddi]

He's at that age where words start to merge with each other in sentences and he whistles as he speaks

[JimbosFarm]

Joe has forgot where the light switch is

[RottenFilmProduction]

When you stand in a room where you turned out the lights and then claiming you can light up the dark...
as you stumble and fall over an old broom.

[kristianp]

cannot take sleepy Joe seriously... he does try to look tough but it aint working
