"And with Joe and Kamala at the helm, you?re not going to have... to argue about them every day. It just won?t be so exhausting."

"You might be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner without having an argument.... When Joe and Kamala are in charge, they?re not going to surround themselves with hacks and lobbyists, but they?re going to appoint qualified public servants who actually care... Our democracy is not going to work if the people who are supposed to be our leaders lie every day and just make things up. And we?ve just become numb to it. We?ve just become immune to it. Every single day, fact checkers can?t keep up. And, look, this notion of truthfulness and democracy and citizenship, and being responsible, these aren?t Republican or democratic principles, they?re American principles. They?re what most of us grew up learning from our parents and our grandparents. They?re not White or Black or Latino or Asian values, they?re American values, human values, and we need to reclaim them. We have to get those values back at the center of our public life. And we can. But to do it, we?ve got to turn out like never before.... We can?t be complacent. I don?t care about the polls. There were a whole bunch of polls last time, didn?t work out, because a whole bunch of folks stayed at home and got lazy and complacent.... I love you, Philadelphia. Honk if you?re fired up, honk if you?re ready to go. Are you fired up?"
