Sanders used his speech at the convention on Monday to urge Democrats to rally behind Clinton. Biden’s America is a land of equality, but only because we refuse to give in to fear and hatred. “I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together – black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, young, old, gay, straight, men, women, folks with disabilities all pledging allegiance under the same proud flag to this great, bold country that we love”.
