Awwww.

Not everything is about rivalry: two Democrats with intentions to run for president just tweeted each other messages of support and respect, reminding us that there's still some good in the world of politics.

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) sent a slightly tongue-in-cheek message to Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Sunday, saying "It’s one thing for you to talk about the dignity of work, but to be willing to lose your voice to sound like me while doing it, that shows real commitment," adding "Fighting for the dignity of work is how we should govern and it’s how we win in 2020."


Brown is known for his hoarse voice, was poking fun at his fellow Senator's recent speech in Iowa. Booker responded "They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, my friend."

Twitter immediately fell in love.

Both Brown and Booker have spoken of dignity in their recent public appearances.

Brown is launching a "Dignity of Work Tour," saying "Dignity of work means hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are or what kind of work you do."

Booker has voiced a similar sentiment, saying "there is a dignity in all work and career professions." The emphasis from Democrats on bolstering working-class Americans—many of whom voted for Trump—could have a significant payoff.

For now, people are basking in the lack of animosity between Democratic candidates.

While Sherrod Brown hasn't officially announced his intention to run for president in 2020, he and Cory Booker may find themselves campaigning for the same office. I'd say "may the best man win," but they both seem pretty great.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
