I keep writing, over and over, that the Biden/Harris ticket will get more than 100 million votes in November.
All the other votes combined will add up to less than 50 million.
Now that Mark Hamill has given his endorsement, truly from the heart, it seems even more clear and certain.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at, to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off Daily Kos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on Daily Kos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
This is our current schedule of regular IAN diary writers:
Monday: Youffraita
Tuesday: bigjacbigjacbigjac
Wednesday: Pam from Calif
Thursday: art ah zen
Friday: FloridaSNMOM
Saturday: FloridaSNDad
Sunday: loggersbrat
The little dog is named Itzl.
Okay, here we go:
Mr. Hamill only spoke for the first three minutes or so, so do not feel that you need to watch the whole video.
Here is a transcript of certain comments he made that I felt are important:
But listen, I just wanted to say I was honored to be asked to come to the White House to meet the President --
the most legislatively successful president in my lifetime. And, you know, I don't have to go through the list --
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the PACT Act, the CHIPS Act, all of that -- Inflation. Fifteen million jobs. Look, it's all good.
I mean, I was really thrilled to meet the entire staff because you know it's not just one person.
It's like a composite endeavor. And all these people -- my goodness. You know, I mean, I have no idea --
I had no idea just what went into what is on his plate on a daily basis.
I felt truly good when I heard him say that:
“...you know it’s not just one person.”
He gave me the impression that when he met with Biden, the room was filled with at least ten or twenty other people in the room.
“...it’s not just one person.”
Clearly, when serving as President, you need a team, you have a team, working with you, alongside you.
So, voting for the Biden/Harris ticket is voting for the Biden/Harris team.
I suppose I am thinking that there may be a million or so undecided voters, many of them in the swing states, who will hear:
“Luke Skywalker was at the White House, visiting Biden!”
“Watch the video!”
Then those voters will watch that video and vote for the Biden/Harris ticket in November.
Ms. Jean-Pierre: Wow! The Press: Thank you, Mark Hamill, for being here. What did you ask -- what did you talk about with the President?
Mr. Hamill: Well, first of all, I only expected to be there for like five minutes. He showed us all these photographs.
And, you know, it was really amazing to me because, you know, I was --
I was invited to the Carter White House, and I came. And then I came to the Obama White House,
but I never was invited into the Oval Office. And it was a large gathering. So, this one was really extra special.
The Press: All right, sir. Mr. Hamill: So -- yes. The Press: Did President Biden bring up "Star Wars," too, sir?
Mr. Hamill: Well, you know, I called him "Mr. President." He said, "You can call me 'Joe.'" And I said, "Can I call you
'Joe-bi-Wan Kenobi'?" (Laughter.) He liked that.
Once again, Mr. Hamill emphasized, “And it was a large gathering.”
And now we have another nickname, aside from Dark Brandon:
Joe-bi-Wan Kenobi.
Ha!
Anyway, take care of your ramps and your ducks, and give each other hugs.
Hugs!
