And this

Meanwhile, on the other side of the central line:

and let's not forget

Exclusive: Hundreds of George W. Bush administration officials to back Biden, group says (July 1 Reuters) which is not just endorsement but a Super PAC furnishing mon-ay

And the Kasich speech suddeny makes a lot more sense...

Judging partly from the Biden campaign so far and the speakers list (including Kasich) from the convention, the addition of Harris as V.P., and the majority of the populace's hatred of Trump's divisive tactics. I predict that the my- way-or-the-highway passionate it's-a-new-partisan paradigm lefties will be dissed and the convention meme overall will be this proven-over-decades winner, E Pluribus Unum:

Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there's the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too: We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States, and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq.

Barack Obama 2004 convention keynote speech

Tonight every one of you knows deep in your heart that we are too divided. It is time to heal America.

And so we must say to every American: Look beyond the stereotypes that blind us. We need each other - all of us - we need each other. We don’t have a person to waste, and yet for too long politicians have told the most of us that are doing all right that what’s really wrong with America is the rest of us- them.

Them, the minorities. Them, the liberals. Them, the poor. Them, the homeless. Them, the people with disabilities. Them, the gays.

We’ve gotten to where we’ve nearly them'ed ourselves to death. Them, and them, and them.

But this is America. There is no them. There is only us.

One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

That is our Pledge of Allegiance, and that’s what the New Covenant is all about.

How do I know we can come together and make change happen? Because I have seen it in my own state. In Arkansas, we are working together, and we are making progress. No, there’s no Arkansas Miracle, but there are a lot of miraculous people. And because  of them, our schools are better, our wages are higher, our factories are busier, our water is cleaner and our budget is balanced. We’re moving ahead.

Bill Clinton acceptance speech 1992

Come to think of it, George W. stole the meme for his own campaign after he saw his father lose to Bill Clinton. I.E. "I'm a uniter, not a divider."

Deep thoughts for "progressives: after Joe's speech

And then there's a whole bunch of replies like this:

Pennsylvania unemployment rate 2009 thru 2020 vs. what "lefty" PA Congressman Conor Lamb said about the state losing many jobs while Biden was in office.

While I was a guest on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show” on Wednesday, a listener named Ian called in with an enraging comment. He deemed the Democratic convention “Republican lite” because of speakers such as former secretary of state Colin Powell. Ian declared that former president Barack Obama’s push to work with Republicans during his eight years in the White House was “an attempt to appease the Republican right wing, and that’s what brought us Trump.” But it was Ian’s last comment that sent me over the edge: “I have not been convinced. I am still abstaining.”

To quote Steve Harvey, “Aw, hell naw!”

Listen, I know that Ian speaks for more Americans than I would like. But it is highly irresponsible for anyone to say they are “abstaining” from the November election. After everything we have seen over the past 3 1/2 years [....]

I’m so tired of those holier-than-thou progressives who continue to demand purity in the face of an existential threat like Trump. They were probably quick to take to the streets to protest for Black lives and against racial injustice, but are hedging on whether voting for Democratic nominee Joe Biden is worth it. They probably rail against inaction on climate change, but seem willing to let a science denier remain in the Oval Office. They most certainly thunder against income inequality and the increasing massive wealth of the mega-rich. And yet, they want to lecture from on high instead of casting a vote that could help remove a man and his family who are using public office to enrich themselves.
