Biden is the only one I want for president in 2024.

[yardwork]

There isn't anyone else I want for president in 2024. Just Joe Biden.

Why? Because he's the only electable one who knows what we're up against and can handle it.

I never thought I'd think this. I haven't been a particular fan of Biden's until recently. I liked him as Obama's vice president, but I never thought of him as president material.

Well. I think he's done an incredible job. Considering what we're up against, and what he inherited, and the low down dastardly behavior of the Republicans, I'm impressed.

I want Joe in 2024.

[canetoad]

1. Well said

The oldest and the best - Joe Biden is like a fine wine.

[flying_wahini]

2. I will support and vote for JOE.

I want him to run unopposed.

[vlyons]

3. My sentiments exactly

[Aristus]

4. There's one thing he will have in 2024 that he didn't have in 2020:

Four years of experience serving as President of the United States.





Let's go, Joe! You have my vote, sir!

[Cha]

13. Yes, Even Better.. Great Point!

[wryter2000]

5. I only regret I can only rec this once

I was for Kamala, but I was perfectly happy for Biden to get the nomination. I thought he'd have the best chance to beat TFG.

However, since he took office, he's absolutely astonished me with his policies. I always thought of him as middle of the road. I have a feeling we can credit them in part to Jared Bernstein, but Biden chose him.

And what he's accomplished! I was confined to my home because, at my age and weight, I didn't dare catch COVID. Biden found no plan in place whatsoever to dispense the vaccines. Approximately 4 weeks after the inauguration, I got my first shot of Pfizer at a site run by FEMA and the national guard. It was a model of efficiency and good feelings. Consider that, if nothing else.

[Scrivener7]

6. Got my Biden 24 bumper sticker already. I'll hold off till after he wins the primary

for the sake of good form.

But I plan to put an American flag right next to it. I'm sick of these magats co-opting the flag.

[yardwork]

8. Great idea. I'll do the same.

[wryter2000]

9. Great plan

I'll have to get a bumper sticker. I had a Hillary car magnet, but someone stole it. I'm sure because they wanted it. I live in Oakland.

[wnylib]

24. In my area, that would get a car seriously vandalized.

[Scrivener7]

34. I know there are places like that. I have taken shit for my bumper stickers even

in my blue area from magats. But if they can drive their pickups with their giant trump flags on the back obscuring visibility, I'm going to do this.

None of them have bothered me over my current bumper sticker, which means it isn't effective. It's a snake coiled in the shape of a uterus on a background that is the same yellow as the Gadson flag, and it says "Don't tread on me." I seriously think they can't figure out what it means because they have no idea what a uterus looks like.

[wnylib]

37. During the Bush years, when he confined protesters

to roped off areas away from him and threatened people who spoke out against his wars, I had a bumper sticker that said, "Without dissent, it's not America."

In a grocery store parking lot, a woman rammed the fender with her cart when she saw the sticker.

A couple weeks later, a guy rammed my car on the driver's side with his truck while I was in it. It was an old car that I had held onto because it was paid for and still ran well - until that day. He totalled it. Hit the car so hard that I got a concussion from my head hitting the roof and I was wearing a seat belt!

But it cost him in the end. Five guys were standing in front of a nearby convenience store chatting and they all came forward to the cops as witnesses on my behalf. An ambulance took me to the ER when I could not tell them my address. His insurance company paid for a loaner car and gave me full book price on my car that I used as a down payment on a newer replacement.

We've got some hard line RWers here.

[Scrivener7]

38. He should have gone to jail for that. I'm sorry that happened.

I have the luxury here of showing my opinion. I get people jamming their brakes in front of me, people giving me the finger, people tailgating me, but so far that is the worst it has been.

I know people in other places don't have that luxury, so I make sure I do.

And you are kind to call the people who did those things to you "hard line RWers." They are criminals and assaulters.

[wnylib]

39. It happened on a city street and there was no way to prove

that it was not an "accident." The witnesses told the cops that it appeared to be deliberate, but that was not enough to charge him for it. They did cite him for speeding and reckless driving.

The same truck had come close to side swiping me a few days earlier, but I saw it coming and swerved. So it was deliberate, not an accident. My bumper sticker made me a target.

[WVGal1963]

7. Go Joe Go Joe Go Joe Go Joe GOOOOOO!!!

He’s the only one who can and will continue to dig us out of the mess that he inherited from TFG. The ONLY one. I truly and sincerely believe it with all that I am.

[moonscape]

10. ME TOO!! (and I'm not an all-caps person)

[sheshe2]

11. I am 100% behind him.

He has surpassed all my expectations.

[Cha]

12. So Well Said, yardwork.. SO Do I!

Mahalo

[betsuni]

14. If those wanting another candidate got their way, that person's popularity would plummet

after constant media negativity and imaginary scandals and nitpicking of all kinds. Democrats have to be perfect. It's ridiculous.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. I agree

[highplainsdem]

16. +1,000,000

[joanbarnes]

17. ditto

[Walleye]

18. An important, I trust him with diplomacy and foreign policy

That is something you really need experience and measured temperament for

[brooklynite]

19. I have no problem with Biden as our candidate, but...

…on what basis do you believe that “he's the only electable one who knows what we're up against and can handle it.”?

The problem with statements like this is that it implies we have no qualified candidates for 2028 when Biden is leaving office.

[WarGamer]

21. I think we have lots of options in 2028 and beyond.

I like Newsom, being a Californian most of my life... but I am worried about the "California" moniker hurting him in some States.

Also, a lot of people don't realize, Newsom would be 61 on Election Day in 2028... he looks really young but he's not THAT young.

I'd love to see a 40-something, preferably woman take the Stage in '28

[niyad]

27. Did you forget our Vice President?

[WarGamer]

28. I expect to see her onstage in the debates... the more the merrier

[Polybius]

36. Some are forgetting on purpose

Besides George HW Bush, what VP has served 8 years under a President and then got elected President?

[yardwork]

40. Nixon.

[Polybius]

41. He lost in 1960

I'm talking directly getting elected President 8 years after serving as VP, like George HW Bush did.

[yardwork]

44. Al Gore, then, in 2000.

[Polybius]

46. Ha!

I wish.

[yardwork]

55. I know... but, he actually did.

Gore won the popular vote and he would have won the electoral college if not for the Supreme Court and Fox News and the thieving Republicans.

I get your point, though.

[treestar]

59. So Harris could be the second.

[niyad]

42. The automatic dismisal of Vice President Harris in so many discussions

evetywhere about possible candidates is sexist, annoying, and insulting.

[yardwork]

45. It's transparent.

I started this thread to combat the "many people say" framing that we see too often with both Biden and Harris.

She's been a fine vice president. She hasn't done a single thing wrong. She's smart and thoughtful. She represents the Biden administration well. And yet, for some reason, that's not good enough for some people.

[CTyankee]

48. I think it's her voice. For some people, her voice is off-putting.

I remember thinking during the primaries way back when, that her voice was stronger and sharper than Elizabeth Warren's. I was a huge Warren fan and still am, so I'm probably a bit biased.

[Polybius]

47. It's not sexist

No one was a bigger Hillary fan than I was in 2008 and 2016. I just prefer other candidates over Harris in 2028.

[niyad]

50. Any particular reason why? What, exactly, makes others preferable to VPOTUS?

[Polybius]

51. When she ran for President in 2020, she was close to the bottom of my list too

When Biden got the nomination, I felt that Harris or Doug Jones would make a great Attorney General, but I didn't want either to be VP. It's about likability, and I don't like the way she treated Biden and others in the Presidential debates. Mean at times, and laughs at them, belittling many who debated her. Her poor showing in 2020 is another reason. I don't believe that she can win.

[yardwork]

56. That's fair.

[tritsofme]

52. I would much prefer Whitmer over Harris in 2028

Is that sexist? Give me a break, there will be a competitive primary in 2028. Harris will have to win on her own.

[Polybius]

35. Newsom vs. DeSantis 2028 would be an epic battle

I'd love to see it happen. 61 looks like a spring chicken compared to lots lately.

[WarGamer]

20. He's been a steady hand...

on the rudder of USS America navigating treacherous seas...

He's not Magellan or Halsey but he's keeping the decks dry and headed on the right course.

That by itself is infinitely better than the alternative.

[AllaN01Bear]

22. si.

[NowISeetheLight]

23. Biden

Joe inherited a disaster. We’re recovering nicely. Inflation is dropping, unemployment is at lows, the economy is picking up, it’s all good. The fact we also have a debt ceiling increase, infrastructure progress and much of Joe’s agenda intact, he’s done it. He’s saved America for now.

Now get more common sense judges installed and publicize Social Security and the plan to save it. Compare it to the RepubQcan slash and burn plan. The 30% MagaT base will never support it. But I believe there are some moderate common sense Republicans (like I used to be) who will. I’m convinced they are the same ones who voted AGAINST Trump in 2020.

[wnylib]

25. Biden has the experience, wisdom, knowledge and character

that we need for these treacherous times. He is compassionate and caring, but can kick ass when necessary and do it with finesse.

I don't know of anyone who has equal qualifications, let alone better. He is what we need.

[Stuart G]

26. Great Comment...Everyone should read wnylib's post number 25. (directly above this comment)

[wnylib]

30. Um....That's wnylib, with an "l" as in lib,

not an "f" for fib.

Hmm. Telling me something?

[Stuart G]

31. I am sorry!!....Change has been made..I saw the mistake almost right away.

SORRY, SORRY, AND MORE SORRY............

[wnylib]

32. No problem. I took it for a typo.

[CTyankee]

49. The guy gets the job done. I like that in a President of the United States! No malarky.

[wnylib]

54. Exactly. He has the skills to get things done,

even when dealing with hostile Republicans.

And he's quick thinking on his feet. His SOTU speech was masterful.

I am greatly impressed with Biden's abilities. And with VP Harris' transition to the national stage. She has good leadership qualities. We are blessed with them as a team.

[treestar]

60. Like no drama Obama

No Malarkey!

[BWdem4life]

29. Joe will be president in 2024

I want him in 2025!

[Pototan]

33. I always loved Joe...

...I was with him even when he was at 3% in previous Democratic Primaries. I was among that 3%.

But I liked it way better when I was part of the 51% in the General in 2022.

[FlyingPiggy]

43. Oh hell yea, I'm Ridin With Biden again!!

[Poiuyt]

53. I feel that Biden is a managerial president rather than a visionary

Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Johnson were visionaries. But right now, a managerial president is what's needed.

As has been said, Biden gets things done. And what's important is that his major accomplishments have been bipartisan.

What Biden needs to do now is improve his self promotion. He needs to toot his own horn, if you will.

[treestar]

61. +1

After TFG, we need managerial, get things back on track.

[gulliver]

57. Yep, and Jeffries as Speaker would be nice too

[DFW]

58. As of now, Joe Biden is the one I want, too

There are others I would settle for, including Schiff, Swalwell, and Klobuchar, but Joe Biden is my first preference this time.

He wasn’t my first choice last time, but he WAS my prediction, both for the primary and the general, and he exceeded my expectations as a candidate and as POTUS. I’d be glad to take some more of the same.

[JuJuChen]

62. I'd take Newsom to be perfectly honest

[Skittles]

63. I can think of many others

but if it's a choice between Biden and ANY FUCKING REPUKE, then Biden it is
