    Oh yeah? Well I love Joe Biden, and I’m not ashamed to say it. Let’s talk about the last two administrations:

    Joe Biden tried to forgive my debt. Donald Trump tried to take away my health insurance. Joe Biden thinks we need more trains. Donald Trump thinks we need more walls. Joe Biden lowered my student loan bills. Donald Trump raised my taxes. Joe Biden released people who were convicted on marijuana charges. Donald Trump locked up children for coming to the US. Joe Biden wants to be president. Donald Trump wants to be Vladimir Putin. Joe Biden told me to join a union. Donald Trump told me to drink bleach.

    Is the Biden administration perfect? Of course not, but the man has actually tried (and occasionally succeeded) to do things that would actually benefit me personally. https://www.whitehouse.gov/therecord/

    The reality is that for most people on most days, what’s happening in DC has only a very small impact on our lives. Our state and local governments are vastly more consequential. But this administration, despite being faced with an opposition party composed of literal fascists, is fighting tooth and nail to make life better for real people without losing the Republic in the process. Given the current state of SCOTUS and Congress, it’s nothing short of a miracle Joe Biden has accomplished anything at all. He’s not as far left as me, but he’s as far left as we’ve got right now, and never mind the fact that the other guy wants to destroy our country so he can stay out of prison.

    Joe Biden has conviction, he has compassion, and he has ability. I like the agenda, and I like the man.

      Joe Biden is defending democracy.

      Donald Trump wants a theocratic autocracy.

      It really is that simple.

      Everyone please vote in 2024 to prevent project 2025.

      Joe Biden doesn’t have the Progressive agenda I prefer, but he’s been the Moderate we need.

      Even when I disagree with his approach, I usually have the impression that he acknowledges reality and at least considers knowledgeable advice
