It may sound crazy but I’m actually not nervous abt November. I’m nervous abt what happens when don loses again.
This. AND GO VOTE!
This election is not between GOP and Democrats. It is between a kleptocratic dictatorship and the American democracy.
Biden acknowledged his primary reason for running in 2020 was to protect Americans from Trump.
Those who have access to him acknowledge he’s running in 2024 because he feels he’s demonstrated he’s good at his job.
I thank him for the first thing, I agree with the second thing, and I will *proudly* display a “Biden” sign in my yard this Fall, no matter how many times they are stolen/defaced.
Send me a whole fuckin’ case of them.
Joe Biden has done a good job and I’ll be voting for him again in November 🇺🇸
It’s true. People are so quick to dunk on this guy for being old but it hasn’t shown to be a detriment and he’s proven to be an effective president during difficult times.
If you have an issue with his policies, that’s one thing. Shitting on him just because he’s old is lazy.
we can be friends until the election. after that it gets difficult, lol
but yes. shills get paid to spread doubt. don’t do it for free
also, donate a small amount and [think about volunteering](https://votesaveamerica.com/). I’m doing it finally, this time. can’t do all this bitching and then not pitch in a little
It’s pretty easy to defend Biden if you actually follow politics, not pundit sound bites. He’s the best President since LBJ.
Longest stretch of sub 4% unemployment in 50 years, major legislation such as CHIPS/Inflation Reduction Act/Infrastructure, and rallied the world to Ukraine’s aid.
Vote. Donate. Organise to get others to vote.
As another poster put it:
Biden has been an outstanding president; saying “well he’s at least better than Trump” is the undersell of the century:
Passage of the *Bipartisan* Infrastructure Law… finally fixing our roads and bridges that everyone agrees was overdue (plus tons of construction jobs)
Held the western alliance together on Ukraine and supported arming Ukraine when many in his own cabinet thought they would get obliterated even with US support.
Passage of the *Bipartisan* Safer Communities Act, breaking a 30-year dry spell for gun control legislation.
Passed the first ever Corporate Minimum tax.
Passage of the CHIPS Act, to help bring microchip manufacturing back to the United States and compete with China (plus tons of manufacturing jobs)
Appointed one talented (and not corrupt!) Supreme Court Justice with hundreds of other appointments throughout the judiciary.
Multiple security and defense pacts across the globe, heading off Chinese and Russian expansion.
Capped Insulin costs within Medicare kicking off an industry campaign to cap insulin at $35 across the board.
More jobs created at this point in his presidency than any president in the last 40 years.
First President to ever join workers on a picket line.
Forgave over $130 billion in student loans.
Record stock market.
He codified same sex and interracial marriage into law.
Passage of the PACT Act, which expands health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.
In. One. Term. WITH A 50/50 SENATE.
If you’re unhappy with Biden on a particular issue, ask yourself – if abstaining helps a Trump presidency become a reality, will that help more people than holding your nose and voting to stop this reality from happening?
And VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot no matter where you live. Anymore, having an R after your name means you will always put party over country.
I am voting for Joe Biden.
Honestly, the Biden presidency has been one of the all-time greats in US history. Between economics and foreign policy, top 10. Add into it that he ushered us out of Covid and slow walked the US societal fabric off of the precipice of a civil war. A+++. No one in history has had to deal with a traitorous insurrectionist predecessor and the mental decline of senile, Facebook addicted, lead poisoned, boomers. What a nightmare.
Not just the President but his ADMINISTRATION. It’s not talked enough that Biden’s admin is the starkest difference between him and Trump.
Half of Trump’s admin has written books confirming how horrible of a leader and person he is. The other half of his admin were hacks that wanted to use their position to personally benefit financially. This is the biggest difference between the two, who they trust to get things done and Trumps Covid response proves the man and his admin are total screwups and greedy lackeys.
Oh and they were hopped up on tons of free drugs. This needs to also be a bigger story.
The media is in the tank for trump. They like the shit show because it brings them easy ratings. He’s literally saying he’s going to go after the media he doesn’t like when he’s re-elected, and they’re still stacking the deck for him.
People value the views of their friends and family more than pundits. So if they hear you shitting on Biden, they’ll think Biden is shit.
I’m voting for Biden and I’m donating to the campaign. not sure what else I can do. anyone who sits this one out deserves what comes their way if Trump is their president come 2025.
I hope Biden remains in office because his record is outstanding and he stands for freedom and integrity. As a Canadian, the prospect of his opponent getting in again is dangerous and will destabilize world politics even further. This convicted sexual offender, fraud and compulsive liar still controls the House. Shocking.
I work in health policy and analysis in the public sector. We are overwhelmingly in favor of a second Biden term. Not just anti-Trump. The wonks are pro-Biden.
It’s hard to change people’s minds with a single encounter, so if nothing else, encourage them to subscribe to and read [Letters from an American](https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/).
It provides a digest of the day’s most important events, with citations, while presenting them with an authoritative historical context. Often it highlights things get barely any mention in other media. It’s just five minutes of reading daily, and although Biden isn’t its focus, anyone who reads it regularly would understand what a great job he’s doing.
Absolutely 💯 ✌🏿
Protect America from the traitor and criminal. He literally stole classified documents to show and possibly sell to others for validation and money. Wake up America
I think most people are ignoring pundits. Just this week there have been republicans who have said they’d walk over molten lava in order to vote for Joe Biden. The media is trying to make a horse race out of the election, but the truth is Trump has been hemorrhaging support since 2020 and hasn’t grown his base of support. Other than few disgruntled, severely online tankies, Biden voters seem very ready to make sure Trump gets nowhere near the presidency ever again.
i genuinely love biden
idk why people dislike him, he produced his tax returns, he doesnt even make that much, he seems genuine, hes done good things for the country and for our foriegn policy
It’s not even that hard, and for all the constant critiquing of Democratic messaging…turnabout is fair play. Constant doom and gloom and looking for reasons to be disaffected because it’s a fast track to making *you* look smart isn’t winning hearts and minds here. Biden’s been solid, way better than expected.
* I’ll start where he’s weakest because I’m not afraid. Palestine is an absolutely abhorrent situation. We are still less than a year from where that started and the amount of movement we have seen against a deeply embedded ally for decades is a massive sign that Biden can be swayed by his leftward flank. There’s a big amount of a special kind of “Great Satan” Amerocentrism going around here mixed with a lack of nuance, it’s a geopolitical high wire with a desperate leader of a nuclear power.
* And of course if foreign policy is your forte, Biden’s handled Ukraine excellently through a blockade in Congress. I can play fiery rhetoric too, you can’t abandon the party over Israel and absolve yourself of the impact on Ukraine. Also been solid about getting aid to Sudan.
* Inflation? This one’s for you conservatives. Member lumber prices? The inflation did start as part of the Trump Economy. It’s also a knock on effect globally from the Pandemic so slashing the CDC’s budget to pay for that wealthy tax cut in 2017? Not a good look. The US has reigned in the global effects better than just about anyone. The GOP is stonewalling efforts to do more and well…what are your state governments doing? Oh yeah, banning books and terrorizing vulnerable youth.
* Immigration? The bill was there, we all know who killed it for vanity.
* Finally, dude is actually a pretty sharp and funny old dude if you get past the stutter he’s always had. He wasn’t actually born into wealth and his lifetime of Senate experience has resulted in some truly clever solutions despite obstruction. Ketanji was a great choice for Supreme Court justice. And he’s a total train dork! C’mon baby wants high speed rail.
I have been defending him for almost a year. He’s not perfect but neither is anyone else, and he’s been an amazing politician. He uses the bully pulpit amazingly.
At this point, I think online liberals calling for protest votes in the general are either completely of touch with reality or Russian assets
To anyone who may be missing having trump in the White House and are missing him:
The presidency… and politics in general are supposed to be kinda boring. Maybe you’ve bought into the constant narrative of Joe Biden being too old, in cognitive decline, corruption some vauge way the republicans that are after him just haven’t been able to prove yet.
But the fact is, Biden has been too busy doing his job to answer every arrow shot at him by partisan hacks and their media mouthpieces. What that has done was given this horseshit room to breathe. President Biden is probably the best, most effective president I’ve had in my 65 years,and he’s been able to do that without a single actual scandal that wasn’t created or exaggerated by the clown show that is MAGA.
Don’t worry, you will get plenty of Trump after the election when he loses… he should still be in court and shouting on tv and the internet plenty, until you either get as sick and tired of it as the rest of us have been for years now, or he is incarcerated as a result of his unlawful actions.
Joe Biden really is the best hope we have for keeping our form of government, not to mention the middle class’s only hope for getting a word in edgewise in the face of all the money speaking from the right
This title says it all. Corporate For Profit Mainstream Media is not the place to go. They are not interested in listening to the average American. They are interested in money and viewers and doing what it can to churn up more viewers. We as a collective, need to support Biden. He has accomplished so much in 4 years, it’s astonishing. He isn’t flashy or causes drama, but he gets the job done. H
e isn’t perfect, but I don’t expect to get everything i would like. But he does listen, it’s just not happening at the pace and speed.you like. But that’s not it works.
Remember, the biggest threat to our very society is Trump and his cult. Simple as that. It’s a pretty damn easy choice this November.
And also focus on your senate and house races because we can’t do much if he wins and we don’t get a supermajority in congress…
It’s plainly obvious to me that electing Biden is the only reasonable option. Don’t agree with every aspect of every position, fine. Thats normal. The alternative is electing a dictator.
There is literally nothing Trump can do to lose the support of his flock. Lies, rape, fraud, theft, adultery, abuse, nothing matters to them. He is literally saying he will weaponize the government against his opponents. He will be able to do anything he wants as President. He will have no one to provide a check. Not the Supreme Court, not the legislature if the Senate flips.
How do people not see this?
Its not what the pundits saying that im worried about. Its the forces backing Trump this year keeping a clearly deranged dementia patient for the sole purpose of tearing down the the entire government. Then replacing it with an Afghanistan level of Theocracy and saying its cause god told them so.
AND… do everything you can to register friends, family and strangers. Then help them vote early with access to ballot and return process. On election day, get even more intense about delivering people to the polls.
We have the numbers to win. It’s a matter of getting voters to the ballot box, either by mail or in person.
The pundits have an incentive to convince people there’s a horse race that will be won by a nose.
Landslides are too boring for them and don’t generate ad revenue.
I tried to reason with two people this weekend. They were not listening.
I had my freak out about Biden’s age about a month ago. It’s too late to nominate any one else and it was good to see him vibrant in the state of the union.
The media seems to be fixed on a Trump victory based on polls that haven’t been right for a while. I hear this all the time, “this is bad news for Democrats” or “this may never go to trial, if Trump wins.” I never hear, “this is bad news for Trump” or “Trump will rot in jail if he loses.”
Oh well, a little fear on Democrats side is probably a good thing.
Arab and muslim brothers who were gonna vote for biden but changed their minds after Biden’s atrocious handling of the Gazan war, ought to know that netanyahu and his cronies have implictly said they would love/prefer a trump presidency. Not gonna tell you guys who to vote for, but just keep that in mind. Lesser of two evils or just picking the worst, your choice
Trump supporters are in full catfish mode. They are pretending to be liberals voting for RFK or liberals that are against Genocide Joe. Their internet game is good! Don’t fall for the gas lighting
I’ll give Biden the benefit of the doubt and believe the people who say he’s sharp as a tack. But they need to show that. Whoever is in charge of the message needs to be replaced. I know they want to show the image of the sweet, loving grandpa but that’s not going to work. Stop telling us Biden is fully cognisant and give us the chance to see it for ourselves.
Here is my thought process on the situation based solely on 100% proven facts, not (alternative facts, actual facts.) kinda long but worth the read.
Trump would be so much worse on Palestinians. He wouldn’t even try to convince Israel to save civilians. He’d probably tell Israel to speed things up if anything.
I’ll give both of them props on economy because they both ran good economies given the circumstances in which both of them took offices.
I would have trusted trump with the border, but blowing up the border bill did not do US any favors, and Obama actually deported more immigrants than trump did. I actually trust Biden more with the border. That border bill was pretty strict.
Trump would be the most likely to drag us into a major war or spark the flames that ignites WW3. With his bullish personality and “my way or highway” attitude, I’m sure he will piss a bunch of countries off. I do not trust trump with international affairs… At all…
I do not trust trump with our own democracy. He is actively setting the stage for a permanent authoritarian regime ( similar to Russia ). Between radical justices, Laura trump as RNC chair, Jan 6th and project 2025, it is painfully obvious that he will reconstruct parts of the constitution to achieve this.
I do not trust trump or Republicans in general with human rights. Since 2016, they have already stripped rights from people starting with gays. They’ve banned books, flags, shows, and clubs across a host of republican states. With minority/black people, Republicans gerrymandered, “red line” districts that failed in court, closed voting centers in minority neighborhoods, and tightened voting access and enacted restrictions that most largely negatively affect black Americans across a host of Republican states, and for women, they Republicans have taken their right to choose and even in extreme cases concieve. ( IVF showdown which didn’t directly target IVF availability, but was shutdown out of fear in some republican states. )
If you take a step back and look at the big picture, Republicans want the 1960s America and Democrats want to launch America into the future. You have to look at these things and decide what you want. History tells us what life was like in the 50s,60s. I don’t know about you, but, that does not look appealing to me. I don’t want to be drug back into a 1960s authoritarian regime, so I will be voting Biden.
It’s amazing that the lesser of two evils narrative keeps getting play. The Republican propaganda machine is incredible. This is a good vs worst president we have ever had choice.
Our side absolutely needs to create ads about Trump’s mental decline. Clips of his word salads, blanking out, confusing one person with another, thinking he’s running against Obama, all of it. Don’t just say on TV Trump is old too. SHOW that he’s actually losing his marbles.
The intelligence community is already fretting that soon they’re going to have to give him intelligence updates again. Pure insanity. The guy is courting state enemies and is absolutely going to blab out our state secrets. And now that he owes hundreds of millions of dollars that he’s been court-ordered to pay, he is more motivated than ever to sell stuff. Stop fretting and start being proactive and SHOW don’t tell the American people that this dodo brain ex-president is losing it. His father had Alzheimer’s, there’s a reasonable possibility that he has it too. It needs to be ruled out before we elevate him any further.
No shit.
And dont get started on “wE cAn vOte 3rD paRTy in blUe states”.
“Blue” states are “blue” **because of people who vote or for Democrats**. Even they need maintenance.
Biden has a lot of accomplishments even with a highly partisan rightwing activist court determined to stop his agenda and a 50-50 Senate with Manchin/Sinema weakening legislation.
The two talking points that control much of the narrative I see spread among media bots are on immigration fear-mongering and inflation. On inflation, I’ll note the situation is similar to Reagan’s first 3 years. He won re-election by a whopping 18%, yet going into ’84, cumulative inflation was around 18%, similar Biden’s first 3 years. Reagan inherited high inflation. Biden inherited the emerging global supply chain crisis. In both cases, the annual inflation rate had dropped significantly. It’s now down to 3.1% YoY. In Jan. 1984, it was 4.2% YoY. Fed policy helped to drive down the rate in both cases (in early 80’s with a more aggressive interest rate spike), as did the easing supply issues. In Reagan’s 4th year, media gave him credit and focused on the improvement in slowing price increases rather than complaining that prices hadn’t fallen to 1980 levels. With Biden, they harp on cumulative inflation and that prices haven’t fallen back to previous levels. It’s night and day as far as the difference in narrative goes.
I’m sick of those on the Left complaining about Biden’s age, saying they’ll stay home if there isn’t a “better” candidate. WTH are they talking about? When there are only two parties to choose from and one of those is a party of Fascists, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PROTEST VOTE. Spare me the sanctimonious posturing.

I know they want to show the image of the sweet, loving grandpa but that’s not going to work. Stop telling us Biden is fully cognisant and give us the chance to see it for ourselves.
Here is my thought process on the situation based solely on 100% proven facts, not (alternative facts, actual facts.) kinda long but worth the read.
Trump would be so much worse on Palestinians. He wouldn’t even try to convince Israel to save civilians. He’d probably tell Israel to speed things up if anything.
I’ll give both of them props on economy because they both ran good economies given the circumstances in which both of them took offices.
I would have trusted trump with the border, but blowing up the border bill did not do US any favors, and Obama actually deported more immigrants than trump did. I actually trust Biden more with the border. That border bill was pretty strict.
Trump would be the most likely to drag us into a major war or spark the flames that ignites WW3. With his bullish personality and “my way or highway” attitude, I’m sure he will piss a bunch of countries off. I do not trust trump with international affairs… At all…
I do not trust trump with our own democracy. He is actively setting the stage for a permanent authoritarian regime ( similar to Russia ). Between radical justices, Laura trump as RNC chair, Jan 6th and project 2025, it is painfully obvious that he will reconstruct parts of the constitution to achieve this.
I do not trust trump or Republicans in general with human rights. Since 2016, they have already stripped rights from people starting with gays. They’ve banned books, flags, shows, and clubs across a host of republican states. With minority/black people, Republicans gerrymandered, “red line” districts that failed in court, closed voting centers in minority neighborhoods, and tightened voting access and enacted restrictions that most largely negatively affect black Americans across a host of Republican states, and for women, they Republicans have taken their right to choose and even in extreme cases concieve. ( IVF showdown which didn’t directly target IVF availability, but was shutdown out of fear in some republican states. )
If you take a step back and look at the big picture, Republicans want the 1960s America and Democrats want to launch America into the future. You have to look at these things and decide what you want. History tells us what life was like in the 50s,60s. I don’t know about you, but, that does not look appealing to me. I don’t want to be drug back into a 1960s authoritarian regime, so I will be voting Biden.
It’s amazing that the lesser of two evils narrative keeps getting play. The Republican propaganda machine is incredible. This is a good vs worst president we have ever had choice.
Our side absolutely needs to create ads about Trump’s mental decline. Clips of his word salads, blanking out, confusing one person with another, thinking he’s running against Obama, all of it. Don’t just say on TV Trump is old too. SHOW that he’s actually losing his marbles.
The intelligence community is already fretting that soon they’re going to have to give him intelligence updates again. Pure insanity. The guy is courting state enemies and is absolutely going to blab out our state secrets. And now that he owes hundreds of millions of dollars that he’s been court-ordered to pay, he is more motivated than ever to sell stuff. Stop fretting and start being proactive and SHOW don’t tell the American people that this dodo brain ex-president is losing it. His father had Alzheimer’s, there’s a reasonable possibility that he has it too. It needs to be ruled out before we elevate him any further.
No shit.
And dont get started on “wE cAn vOte 3rD paRTy in blUe states”.
“Blue” states are “blue” **because of people who vote or for Democrats**. Even they need maintenance.
Biden has a lot of accomplishments even with a highly partisan rightwing activist court determined to stop his agenda and a 50-50 Senate with Manchin/Sinema weakening legislation.
The two talking points that control much of the narrative I see spread among media bots are on immigration fear-mongering and inflation. On inflation, I’ll note the situation is similar to Reagan’s first 3 years. He won re-election by a whopping 18%, yet going into ’84, cumulative inflation was around 18%, similar Biden’s first 3 years. Reagan inherited high inflation. Biden inherited the emerging global supply chain crisis. In both cases, the annual inflation rate had dropped significantly. It’s now down to 3.1% YoY. In Jan. 1984, it was 4.2% YoY. Fed policy helped to drive down the rate in both cases (in early 80’s with a more aggressive interest rate spike), as did the easing supply issues. In Reagan’s 4th year, media gave him credit and focused on the improvement in slowing price increases rather than complaining that prices hadn’t fallen to 1980 levels. With Biden, they harp on cumulative inflation and that prices haven’t fallen back to previous levels. It’s night and day as far as the difference in narrative goes.
I’m sick of those on the Left complaining about Biden’s age, saying they’ll stay home if there isn’t a “better” candidate. WTH are they talking about? When there are only two parties to choose from and one of those is a party of Fascists, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PROTEST VOTE. Spare me the sanctimonious posturing.
