Everyone who's Riding with Biden (like me!) get in here and tell us why!

[NoveltySocks]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm in the mood for a positivity thread and figured I'd start one. I am 100% with Joe because he's sane, competent, has a great record of achievements, and has the metric fuckton of experience that's needed to navigate the current global and domestic land/hellscape. Dark Brandon is just the icing on the cake (which obviously comes with ice cream).

Now I gotta get OUT there and spread the word. Who's with me?

[poozwah]

1. pro life

sticking with biden because i do not want to see democracy die.

[ffr]

75. I'm pro life too. That of myself, my friends, and family. We're all patriotic Americans.

So to the OP, that's why.

I will never turn on my country in support of Vladimir Putin or dictators. The republican party is no more. The remains of the are little more than a bunch of nutty wacky crazies, in other words, ass kissing followers. I can't live kissing someone else's ass morning, noon, and night like their yellow turncoat TV watching followers do.

Joe Biden stands for everything good about America and he's a common good man with uncommon duty to serve his country. He knows the difference between wrapping yourself in the American flag and self-labeling yourself a patriot from actually setting policy that unifies Americans and prolongs the promise of the American idea. He is a roll model and a political rock star.

I am proud to be a democrat and proud to be with Joe Biden in 2024.

[calimary]

156. Thank you, ffr!

Sounds like only one major issue separates us. We can come from different corners of the ring but still meet, and hug, and do fist bumps together!

[calimary]

154. Thank you, poozwah!

So plainly stated, and so true!

[badhair77]

2. Experience, stability and compassion

[IjustDontlikeRepugs]

3. I'm with ya Socks!

I never thought one time that President Biden should drop out. He’s our guy. He’s a great man and a great leader of our country.

[Doc Sportello]

4. All your reasons are good

Plus he was our choice as voters. I know some don't care about that but it's how it's supposed to work.

[Baltimike]

7. got us out of Afghanistan. nt

[Doc Sportello]

10. Yes

And a lot more.

[Baltimike]

5. lowered Rx prices nt

[NoveltySocks]

54. That's a great one!

[GPV]

6. Someone I highly trust told me to--Bernie Sanders.

[Lunabell]

12. This!!!

I trust Bernie's judgement.

[NoveltySocks]

21. Bernie's been a great voice of reason through all of this!

[Lunabell]

8. President Biden has proven to be a strong leader.

He is smart, savvy, fairly progressive for a traditional Democrat and a basically decent human being. He is a wonderful husband and family dude. He has done great things for this country and I trust him to know when he is not capable of continuing to lead this country on the sane and correct path.

Furthermore, Kamala Harris is a wonderful VP. I would like to see her get out there more in these next four years after their victory in November!!

[NoveltySocks]

24. He definitely has!

And Kamala's great (she was my Senator)!

[MiKenMi33]

76. I breathed a huge sigh of relief in 2020

I was terrified of trump winning re-election in 2020. The night before I barely slept. Biden is my hero for defeating Trump and he’ll do it again. He’s got a great record to run on. Let’s deliver him a democratic house and senate and he’ll get even more done. He’s a good, honest, and decent man.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

9. Because he has been excellent so far and will save democracy n/t

[Marcus IM]

11. I'm Riding with Biden because he's our nominee.

A Tale About Two Grandpa's ...

One rides a bike.
One challenges the other to play golf on his ex wife's grave.

End of story.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219147256

[NoveltySocks]

28. LOL, that's a good comparison!

[phylny]

13. After TFG, it's been nice to be able

to live my life during Biden’s presidency and not have to worry about what the president is doing because Joe is an honest, honorable man.

[NoveltySocks]

50. For sure!

It's the way it should be.

[ALBliberal]

14. Best President of my lifetime second to

Carter. Seems Obama isn’t coming around to defend him and that’s a disappointment.

But Biden? He absolutely cares about the everyday fellow man and woman.

F the media.

[NoveltySocks]

30. Mine too!

I don't have that many to compare him to (especially whose terms I remember in a meaningful way), but it's been great!

[claudette]

180. To me

he’s second to Obama

[Johonny]

15. His White House has been incredibly stable

After 4 years of shitshow, Biden came in and produced 4 years of no drama Obama again.

[NoveltySocks]

31. Right?

I love that I can wake up in the morning and not wonder what hideous news awaits me.

[Baltimike]

16. showed the truth about open borders by showing the kGOPb won't take yes for an answer. nt

[Doodley]

17. Have a dump with Trump or go ridin' with Biden? It's an easy choice.

[mvd]

18. Many reasons

1) he’s done a good job
2) one debate doesn’t tell the story
3) whenever I see him he is fully capable and competent
4) got the overwhelming majority of delegates
5) he’s won before and I think he will again! We must beat Trump

[NoveltySocks]

42. All good reasons!

It's time to Dump the Chump for good.

[tosh]

19. I have faith in Biden and Harris to get it done

[onethatcares]

20. united we stand

and I'm old enough to remember my grandmother not being able to afford a doctor (pre medicare) and I know Joe is not trying to eff us . Oh, and I know that the oligarchs fear the power of the working class which he represents.

[Burnnotice]

22. Because of Gender Issues

I'm riding with Biden because I have gender issues resulting from Androgen insensitivity Syndrome. I have friends that are LGBTQ. The Repugs are full of hate.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

178. Welcome to DU

[Jrose]

23. Biden is forever young at heart and agelessly wise ...

and leads us with those gifts.

[NoveltySocks]

34. Beautifully said!

[FalloutShelter]

82. Exactly this.

Ridin with Biden!

[vishnura]

25. Ridin with Biden

Honesty, integrity, patroitism...should I go on. Not like the felon, rapist, pedophile, traitor...
..

[Cha]

26. Thank You For your Positivity OP!

I'm Ridin with Biden because I have No Fear. We were all mostly Enjoying Pres Biden's Successful Rally in JoeTown Motown when someone Asshole wanted to Shoot TSF.

Link to tweet

[NoveltySocks]

36. That was such an inspiring speech!

And I have a hunch that the sentiments from the speech will resonate longer with people than anything that comes out of The Incident or whatever tf is happening in Milwaukee right now.

[Cha]

40. Yes and Dems Need to Be Reminded of Joe in MoTown!

TY!

[Joinfortmill]

27. One of the best Presidents ever!

[Raven123]

29. Joe wakes up every day and asks himself what he can do for his country

[MaryMagdaline]

138. Love this 💕

[NoveltySocks]

160. Yes he does! AND he then works to make it happen

[WarGamer]

32. Simple. I want to win.

If I thought we could slide in "Dudley Doright" and win the election by 15% and unite OUR party in the process...

I'd be ALL FOR replacing Joe.

But reality is... any attempt to replace Joe will fracture the party and probably lead to a big loss.

So... stick with the experienced guy who's beaten Trump before...

Double down on Biden.

[mamajudi]

33. All in for Biden/Harris team!

I agree with all that you've said....plus the right to reproductive freedom is a very important issue. I love the guy! I'm so happy he's on TV almost everyday now!! He looks great! Healthy and confident! And being a Californian, I LOVE Kamala... voted for her three times!

[NoveltySocks]

37. Agreed on all points, fellow Californian!

[gay texan]

35. Gay man

Nuff said...

[Vogon_Glory]

38. To Save the Republic Is My Primary Reason

Environmental issues, infrastructure, national parks, preservation of historic places, reproductive freedom, are other concerns.


A Republic--if you can keep it.

[Think. Again.]

39. My dad always told me "if it works, don't fix it"....

Biden's team has made absolutely incredible progress against the most destructive opposition party we have ever seen.

I want that team to keep going!

Go Joe!!! 🌊 !!!

[maptap22]

41. I truly believe he has the best interest

Of the country and the American people in his heart. Everything he does is to make our lives a little better. He is not in it to line his pockets like the convicted felon.
My husband (a veteran as am I) died in 2018. He wanted to be buried in the National Cemetery but the POTUS in office at the time would have signed the certificate and I know my dear hubbie would have hated to have that bloated yams signature on his certificate. So I waited until Joe was in office before I had my husband’s ashes interred. I am so happy I waited for the true President Joe Biden to sign the certificate thanking him for his service. Not the guy who called us losers and suckers.
Joe Biden is a good man and my President.

[badhair77]

128. My husband died in 2020 and 45 signed the certificate.

I didn’t know I could wait. When I saw his name I shoved it in an envelope of other death materials. I certainly don’t want to see that often.

[maptap22]

169. I am so sorry for your loss.

[Mister Ed]

43. He's old - and that's a big, big plus.

I've long thought that Biden in his old age has been a better president than he could have been in earlier decades.

Back then, my impression of him was that he was just another politician. But he has gained a great deal of experience and wisdom since then, and his compassion and empathy have only grown stronger in the face of personal grief and tragedy.

Now that he's old and near the end of his career, he's free to do what is best for the people, and for the nation. He doesn't have to cater to the "powers that be", the influence peddlers, the moneyed elites - especially in his second, final term.

That's probably why they want him out.

[NoveltySocks]

46. You know what? I had a similar thought re his age the other day.

Being 81 means that he's probably not that fussed over what his own future looks like, and can truly focus on what kind of future he can help set up for the US (and the world). He personally has little to lose at this point, IMO. I think that makes him seem dangerous to TPTB.

[Norbert]

44. Been a good ride and I don't want it to end.

[NoveltySocks]

56. Four more years!

[usonian]

45. ISSUES --- point by point.

Plus his record, character, compassion, and wisdom.
Joe's the incumbent, bad-ass, and nominee. Nobody else can win in my opinion.

GOP agenda:
• A society that excludes and criminalizes necessary health care and personal sexual preferences.
• A society that warps the constitution to establish one religion and encourage violence against others.
• Americans pitted against each other along lines of race, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and income.
• Vilification of blacks, Jews, Muslims, lgbtq+ , homeless, and women of strength, encouraging violence against them.
• Destruction of public schools and the opportunity they provide to all, minorities included.
• Funding of private, religious schools to increase class division and unequal access and opportunity.
• Banning of books.
• Devastating climate change
• Leveling the Gaza waterfront to create a Hotel Strip
• A deadly all-out war on the rights of women.
• More welfare for the rich.
• Private health care companies replace medicare and deny needed treatments -- basically "death panels"
• Every civil right is eroded by clown judges living in the 18th century rewriting the constitution.
• Worker's rights and benefits reduced in order to create greater profits for businesses.
• Safety nets removed, so that homeless, and jobless people are left to die on the streets.
• More, more, more of culture war.
• GUNS, everywhere, with no limitations or requirements. Mob rule ( warms Putin's heart )
• Unbridled support of authoritarian regimes across the globe, who eagerly imprison, "re-educate", murder and commit atrocities on others.
• Lies, hate speech and threats are welcomed on "social media" and given support by government officials.
• Medical care and prescription drug costs skyrocket.
• Leadership by people with the lowest morals of all. Grafters and grifters.


JOE'S AGENDA (as I see it)
• Support of women's health care and sexual preferences.
• Separation of religion and state, and protection of minority rights.
• Americans of every race, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and income honored and treated fairly.
• The wealthy pay their damn fair share.
• Acceptance and embrace of blacks, Jews, Muslims, lgbtq+ , homeless, and women of strength.
• Zero tolerance of hate and violence.
• Strong action to reduce gun violence.
• Vigorous support of public schools and the opportunity they provide to all, minorities included.
• Getting private, religious schools off the dole.
• Slashing the divide in education, opportunity, internet access and access to the levers of power.
• Banning book bans!
• A local and global "Manhattan Project" to counter climate change
• Guaranteeing the rights of women.
• Support of Medicare, so that some day, we can have UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SINGLE PAYER.
• Taking profiteers of "Medicare Advantage" plans to task.
• Restoring the Supreme Court to one that serves all people, and it not a religious tribunal or den of thieves.
• Worker's rights and benefits increased and guaranteed.
• Safety nets bolstered for homeless, jobless, and other needy people.
• Holding social media accountable for calls to violence that they harbor or actively foster.
• Sensible gun control
• Putting authoritarian regimes across the globe on notice.
• A better society by POSITIVE EXAMPLE

[NoveltySocks]

59. Great list--thank you for sharing laying it out so clearly!

(I mean, the GOP goals are anything but great, but you know what I mean)

[FailureToCommunicate]

99. Wow! Excellent list of reasons!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

47. Quite simply - he's the best, most progressive, President of my lifetime.

The funny thing is, I wasn't all that excited by Joe Biden four years ago. I supported several other Democratic candidates running for the nomination first. But he won me over during his Presidential campaign and I happily voted for him. He's been favorably impressing me ever since. He is not only the best President of my lifetime, Joe Biden is one of the great Presidents of all time.

[ananda]

48. Biden has a great track record!

No reason to mess with success!

[SocialDemocrat61]

49. He's this generation's Harry Truman

and still our best bet to beat Trump.

[haele]

91. New Deal completion, to include everyone.

Thoughtful, realistic forward looking policies. He supports Democracy where everyone is represented.

Haele

[Autumn]

51. Because in his first term he's been the best president of my lifetime.

I expect the next term to be even better.

[MaryMagdaline]

52. "Show me your budget and I will tell you where your heart lies."

I trust him with the power of the pen. He’s fixed more things in this term than I knew were fixable. Always with the people.

[NoveltySocks]

60. Agreed!

And, as a bonus, he doesn't engage in any reckless wielding of Sharpies

[Blue Owl]

53. He's in this for ALL of us -- not just 1% of us who are already wealthy

[Talitha]

55. I like a President that makes me proud.

[Politicub]

57. He has the back of the LGBTQ+ community

And for that alone, I will be forever grateful.

[NoveltySocks]

67. Me too!

[Aviation Pro]

58. Pro democracy

That’s why.

[overleft]

61. I'm riding in a side car. Cruising to victory.

[TygrBright]

62. He's done more for ordinary people - workers, students, retirees, veterans, than anyone in my lifetime. n/t

[ancianita]

63. Pro freedom and pro justice

[appmanga]

64. I'm with Biden...

...because I don't know any other president in my lifetime who's shown the political courage of Joe Biden, and certainly none who's tried to do as much to bring as much help and relief to the poor, working poor, working class, and middle class. He's been bold and unapologetic about wanting to help the average American and has worked on it like no one else since LBJ.

[Bettie]

65. When Biden became our nominee in 2020, I was disappointed

he wasn't my 5th or 6th choice even. I figured he'd be a run of the mill old white dude.

I was wrong.

He is the most progressive president in my lifetime, he has shown that he actually cares about people who aren't rich, much more so than other presidents who claim that. He's been a leader and more important, he knows how to get things done.

Do I agree with everything he says or does? Nope. Doesn't matter. I'm not going to agree with anyone 100% of the time, that doesnt' matter because he's working for ME (and you, and really everyone) to make this country better.

Is he old? Yep, and he's forgotten more about how our government works than most people know.

So, expertise, a kind heart, and a belief that government should benefit everyone, not just the wealthy and ultra-wealthy? Sign me up.

[ms.pamela]

66. Riding with Biden

Please get the word out about Project 2025. The more I hear about it the more I will donate, and promote the Democratic agenda.
Think positive!

[NoveltySocks]

70. I've been telling everyone I know about Project 2025

I believe we have the power to stop it!

[Backseat Driver]

68. Best President ever...always engaged with serving the People; on the level with President Carter

Solid character in action...

I'm ridin' w/Biden/Harris in 2024!

[Mr.Bill]

69. Ridin' with Biden

because he's the only man on the planet who has beaten Donald Trump. I know, he's four years older now, but so is Trump.

[duncang]

71. I'd have a beer with him.

I really don’t drink maybe a couple drinks per year. But I’d feel good sitting around bs’ing with him.

Tfg on the other hand I’d check my wallet after.

[NoveltySocks]

79. I don't drink personally, but I'd love to have ice cream and conversation with Joe.

Trump, ew, there ain't enough hand sanitizer on the planet for that mess.

[C_U_L8R]

72. Integrity and results.

He's a righteous dude.

[ms liberty]

73. Experience. Wisdom. Reason. Compassion. Fairness. A very sucessful first four years.

We need to send him a Democratic House and Senate! Then watch what he'll do!

[LisaL]

74. The simplest reason is that Biden won the primaries.

So he is the candidate.
The idea that the candidate can be just replaced after winning the primaries doesn't appeal to me.

[SARose]

83. Yes

I don’t want to see thousands (millions) of voters disenfranchised at this point.

We stood in the rain, snow, heat to vote for him.

We endured razzing from our neighbors because we had Biden/Harris yard signs.

We endured Easter dinner with family who tried and tried to make us see we were wrong.

We talked first time voters into supporting him.

We have a good, honest man as our candidate. Why change now?

[Klarkashton]

77. Reliably blue and no fucking republican recession.

[LiberalFighter]

78. I'm a white old guy.

Nearly everything Joe has done or will do. Will benefit me in one way or another. Maybe not directly.

That includes HBCU, student loan forgiveness, child food programs, providing the same perks in black neighborhoods.

[iluvtennis]

80. So that my daughters, nieces, and other women of child bearing age have the same rights that I did wrt

their reproductive systems.

And of course to keep a fascist out of the White House and save democracy.

[LakeArenal]

81. He's an experienced Gentle Man. Separate words.

Knew he’d be President when I saw him GOTV in 2018.

I’m still there. 🇺🇸

[PennRalphie]

84. Foreign policy experience

President Biden is a good man. He has this economy booming. We are respected worldwide. He cares about the ordinary person.

Did I mention the booming economy? That’s enough right there to give him 4 more years.

[wryter2000]

85. Lots of reasons

Did you see/hear the speech at the NAACP? Awesome.

[idahoblue]

86. Team Biden for the win!

[58Sunliner]

87. Trust.

[Scalded Nun]

88. There is no better person

who in mind, spirit and ability is better placed to do what is right and good for this country and its people.

[BigMin28]

89. President Biden

President Biden is a man of honor, dignity, and unwavering service to us and our country. He has delivered on many of his promises. And finally, an old saying, "You dance with the one that brought ya." President Biden got us this far, we have to stand behind him.

[marti]

90. Why Biden

like Bernie said politics is not entertainment- it's about governing and Biden is an expert

[rurallib]

92. What he has done is fantastic and we need more!

[BadgerMom]

93. I'm ridin' with Biden for women's rights!

And the economy. And to save democracy. And to start to bring back justice. And…

[Different Drummer]

94. Joe is the polar opposite of TSF.

Competence (Joe) vs. Incompetence (TSF)
Sanity (Joe) vs. Insanity (TSF)
Calmness (Joe) vs. Chaos (TSF)
Rational (Joe) vs. Irrational (TSF)

There are other comparisons. That's just a start.

[BootinUp]

95. The proof is in the Biden. Nt

[WmChris]

96. Biden 2024

Besides all the experience and shared beliefs he's NOT tRump!! We need a real blue wave to begin righting the travesty brought on by the Reich wing beginning with the subprime court.

[paulkienitz]

97. I never expected him to out-President Barack Obama, but he did.

[Greybnk48]

98. I can't think of anyone more capable to be President than Joe Biden.

And when Biden is finished, I will support and vote for Kamala Harris.

[littlemissmartypants]

100. A very good man who recognizes he's a flawed individual

But who vows to improve and loves helping others.

He's selfless in his pursuit of what he can do to help ALL Americans. He's driven by love.

I love him with my whole heart. ❤️

Here's his speech today to the NAACP...

https://www.youtube.com/live/XrQZYb9q_Yk?feature=shared

[ybbor]

101. He's getting stuff done!

He knows how to get it done. People may not be aware of what he has achieved, but it’s a lot with out a lot of help.

Let’s go Joe!

[FailureToCommunicate]

102. LOTS of reasons, but top one is Biden picked a great

VP in Kamala Harris !!

(Show’s he has excellent judgement)

[ColinC]

103. Why the hell would I not want to vote for the best president in my lifetime??

[RandySF]

104. I trust him implicitly to do the right thing.

[Deep State Witch]

105. Experience and Wisdom Matter

Plus, he's well-respected on the world stage.

[Mike Nelson]

106. Biden and Harris...

... are superior in every positive category imaginable! The other side excels in all the undesirable categories.

[MacKasey]

107. I'm riding with Biden!!

Joe Biden is a good kind man.

Who will always look out for all Americans!

[JohnSJ]

108. A lot of reasons, but a simple non-political reason is that he WON THE PRIMARY and has over 3000 delegates

and made it clear that he won't step down.

[Faux pas]

109. Because

he's EVOLVED

[Mr.WeRP]

110. SCOTUS, Democracy and the preservation of Law and Order.

Fuck Corruption, Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin

[CaptainTruth]

111. Because he defends America! He's not trying to destroy it!

[geardaddy]

113. First president to walk a picket line.

And probably the most successful president since LBJ in getting liberal policies enacted.

[Butterflylady]

114. Biden knows putin

And he doesn't praise him because he knows putin is our enemy.

[wolfie001]

115. Sane leadership and zero reactionary policies

Just a decent man Joe Biden. His wife Jill is a fabulous and classy First Lady. Plus, competent Kamala and her husband. Very happy with these people. Go Joe!!!

[Arne]

116. Just announced a plan to rein in the rogue supreme court.

[Codifer]

117. For decency and for a future.

plus a few million other reasons.

[we can do it]

118. Most effective president of my lifetime.

[clbado_321]

119. Riding with Biden

I’m riding with Biden because he cares about humanity and our democracy!

[kimbutgar]

120. I want a president who genuinely loves this country and is a selfless person with compassion for the

American citizens. Joe Biden exemplifies that notion.

He is not running for himself to make money but to help the American people. At this point in his life he does need the shit of those wuss democrats.

Unlike the convicted felon monster who doesn’t give a shit about the American people as evidenced by his handling of covid, blowing off natural disasters, gun violence and refusing to believe he lost the election and then tried to do a coup. He should have been jailed immediately after President Biden took the oath of office but Merritt Garland is too weak !

I’m all in for re electing President Biden this November !

[Bluethroughu]

121. Wisdom and Experience!

[Permanut]

122. I'm ridin' , been ridin', won't stop ridin'!

Sounds trite but we truly are at a fork in the road, and the choice could not be clearer.

[catrose]

123. Definitely. He would have been our FDR

If not for Manchin & Sinema.

[cilla4progress]

124. Biden is one of the best Presidents of my adult life,

based upon productivity and outcomes:

Inflation Reduction Act
Reduced child poverty
Covid vaccination program
Stock Market
Mortgage rates falling
Inflation falling
Gas prices
Energy independence
First President to walk a picket line
Choice of VP

Need I add more?

I'll be repping more out there in the Fall!

[WVreaper]

125. I would have liked a younger candidate, but with scarce option

Riding with Biden

[SomedayKindaLove]

126. Because Biden ate fascism for breakfast in 2020

And he’s the most progressive President in my lifetime. I’ve liked him since the 80’s, even though I did not vote for him in the 2016 primary.

But it was his photo after the Harris-Pence debate where he stole my heart. Joe Biden, huge devilish grin, holding a fly swatter. I immediately sent $50 and he’s owned me ever since.

Which I guess is not entirely true, as I’d have been fine if he didn’t run in 2024. Sexism cost this country dearly in 2016 and I feared ageism doing the same. The media elite and members of the party turning on has only reinvigorated my endearment for him even more.

Give ‘em hell, Joe!

[Biophilic]

127. Quite basically because I trust the man to do the right thing.

I trust him to do the right thing for women, for minorities, for immigrants, for the economy, for health care. I may not always agree with him, but I trust him.

[AmBlue]

129. Joe Biden will protect and defend our Constitution

...and ensure that the democracy we love, and so many have died for, will survive.

If we give him a majority Dem Senate and House, he will undo some of the damage done by TSF and SCOTUS.

[onecaliberal]

130. Women and minority rights. Voting rights. Democracy.

So many more…

[BaronChocula]

131. Here is one of the many many many reasons I support President Biden

Joe Biden, Master Oil Trader
https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/05/16/joe-biden-master-oil-trader

[PatrickforB]

132. Transformational president, good tax policies, good domestic policies. Pro-union. Forgave

student loans. Wants to rein in Wall Street investors who buy up real estate and create a housing shortage.

Good, moral man. Godly. Compassionate. Good leader. Knows how to get stuff done.

And as an OLDER leader, he has huge depth and scope of experience and that is a GOOD thing.

[blm]

133. I'm an anti-corruption voter. Always have been. Always will be.

134. Go Joe

How can someone be deemed to be an incompetent candidate when they are already a compident President. Just asking for a friend

[dai13sy]

135. President Biden is a positive force for good

I voted for him because I knew he would do a helluva job and he has. Anyone who says differently is a liar. President Joe is for the United States and her citizens. He's gotten so much good done we need to let him continue. I want a smart President, a compassionate President, a good man. I do not want Trump. He wouldn't know good if it slapped him in the face

[KS Toronado]

136. I'm riding with Biden because he borrowed my car.

[kwolf68]

137. Why me?

I was probably as devastated at Biden's debate performance as anyone. At that moment yes I was saying we can't win this.

However, how Biden has come back, with strong rallies, strong speeches and strong interviews is telling another tale. If Biden flopped at the debate and then continued to look completely out of it, then yea maybe he's not the guy, but watch his interview with Holt the Hack or today's speech at the NAACP. He has not quit, he has not thrown in the towel like the quitters who are whining still about the debate.

Him not quitting could be seen as ego, he refuses to admit the truth. However, the truth is he may have what it takes as a CANDIDATE. We know what he has as a President, he is 1000x the President, leader, man that his opponent is. Is he a "good enough candidate?" That's the question and he HAS rebounded and maybe it's not ego, but rather a complete devotion to make sure the blackness sure to hit us if Trump were elected does not happen.

Also, there are dynamics. To replace Biden now, assuming he even needed to be replaced, would be a complete mess, weeks of in-fighting, lobbying, trying to touch base with donors, etc, etc. Lots of Democrats will be talking and squawking about Harris, Newsome, Shaprio or whoever. While we are yelling at who we want, NOTHING is being said about Trump and Project 2025.

We move off Biden now we basically suspend our campaign against the fascists, and we can't give them that much of a runway. Biden is the guy, he has proven it by taking on an hour Q/A session and has proven it by spirited, tough as nails speeches and he has also proved it by the things he has accomplished in his first four years and the man he is. To me there was never a doubt, even if Biden was drooling on himself I was voting for him, but as the days go by and he continues to look stronger and stronger I am getting more positive, more energized and I believe many of my fellow Americans will see the same and follow suit.

[pansypoo53219]

139. he beat him before.

[tazkcmo]

140. Because he's the best person for the job.

Age is NOT a bug. It's a feature.

[paulrevere2018]

141. I'm all in. This is just not "anyone but TFG" support but in appreciation of the great job Joe has

done for this country.

[mercuryblues]

142. Joe is a better human.

He has the compassion, integrity, experience and intelligence needed for the job.

Unlike the opposing party in its entirety.

[Evolve Dammit]

143. A pivotal time in our relatively young Republic's history. We will fight for rationality, decency and the rule of law.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

144. Riding with Biden

Win or lose.

[LisaM]

145. He has built a great team around him.

A good leader puts together a good team around him, and Biden is completely unafraid to surround himself with the best and brightest there is. He commands loyalty.

Trump couldn't even hang on to a chief of staff long enough to take a bathroom break.

Plus - I just like Biden. He's warm and funny and empathetic and he returns the favor by liking people back.

[RainCaster]

146. I'm with Joe!

All in

[CapnSteve]

147. Experience. Empathy. Excellence.

And the respect he commands on the world stage!

[sanduca]

148. Oh boy, where do I start?

President Biden...
Is a decent human being with a kind heart and he's also smart. He understands history, government, foreign policy and humanity.
President Biden... cares about all of us. He really does, he even cares about trumpers well-being.
President Biden...has an amazing woman as a VP and could assume the presidency at any day if needed.
President Biden...is the hardest working president in American history. Sleepy Joe my ass!
His policies are working and would definitely improve more so if he gets 4 more years to finish the job.
So many more reasons why I love President Biden and don't forget that awesome First Lady♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Blue Full Moon]

149. The alternative is a nightmare

Biden will not call for an insurrection. Biden will not make fun of disabled people. Biden will not lead a chant of let them die.
Being able to sleep after 4 yrs of the Trump debacle. I went to see Biden at an event when he was campaigning for Obama. Biden is a decent man and will do the right thing.

[The Blue Flower]

150. His 50 years of experience

Have made him the most effective president of our lifetime. His heart is always in the right place. He knows how the machinery of government works so that it serves the nation.

[Doug Skullery]

151. I'm with you!

This is my first post, but I have been a lurker FOREVER. This has been my favorite website for years. I don't expect my post will reach many people or influence them, but I don't wish to remain silent about the existential threat to our democracy from MAGA fascists.

I enthusiasticly support President Joe Biden. He is the greatest president of my lifetime, and I am over sixty years old. If he can get us out of this mess, he will be the greatest President in history.
I greatly appreciate everyone on Democratic Underground fighting to preserve our democracy.

You are not alone! Do not give up hope! We will win!!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

165. Well said!

Welcome to DU! We're glad to have you with us!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

177. Welcome to DU

[DFW]

152. He has done a spectacular job without trying to look or sound spectacular

He has been one of the best, and most modest presidents we have had. Not “lookit me!” like Trump, but “let’s get this done.” And he HAS “gotten it done,” like few before him.

Even by the ultimate Republican standard of measure—money—his administration has been a godsend to those who keep score by that measure alone.

Wealthy Republicans have only to look at their own bottom lines or stock portfolios, and most will once again see that the numbers don’t lie: if you want to live like a Republican, then vote for a Democrat. It was obvious after Reagan and Bush I. It was painfully obvious after Cheney-Bush II. It is glaringly obvious now after the Trump disaster compared to three and a half years of Joe Biden. What good are zero taxes if they apply to zero income?

[debm55]

153. He is a good, honest and loving person. Let's go Joe.

[lees1975]

[SoFlaBro]

157. Biden is fucking doing the job EXCELLENTLY and will continue crushing shit for another 4 years.

[Sylvermoon]

158. President Biden is a good man and works hard for our country every day.

The first thing I look for in a President is what kind of person is he/she. President Biden is the kind of person that I was brought up to respect. Every thing my parents drummed into me growing up is what I see in President Biden. Love of family, love of God, love of country, respect of others and those less fortunate, loyalty, honesty, and a hard work ethic. His family and country come first with him. He has a good heart, he respects the citizens of our country no matter what party they are affiliated with. He works for the good of our country every day. He respects our constitution and he doesn’t praise dictators of this world.

[Alice B.]

159. Aside from radiating decency?

He taught me that deep Washington experience is not the same thing as being a career politician, and the proof is in the governance.

He made my student loans bearable.

He stands up for himself and for us.

Also, the older I get, the more sensitive I become to the topic of ageism. I want to be even just half as productive and effective when I'm his age.

[NoveltySocks]

162. Agreed! And I wish I was half as productive as he is

at the age I am now, lol.

[Alice B.]

164. Same, OMG, Same

[bdamomma]

161. I am

supporting President Biden for sanity, and having Democratic values. He's the only choice.

[sakabatou]

163. Because Trump would ruin the US both domestically and internationally

[The Wandering Harper]

166. he reminds me of the Democratic party I was born into

Carter was president when I learned to read & write,
and through Reagan-Bush it looked like the party was dragged to the right.
I wasn't crazy about Clinton and by the end of his time I plain did not like him.
Obama didn't do me a whole lot better.
I was skeptical about Biden at first, and he's really pissed me off a couple times.
Turns out I didn't know much about him then.
Did not know he was the least wealthy among his senate colleagues.
Did not know that he's the third least wealthy - just above Truman and Carter -
of the thirteen presidents we've had since WW2.
And he's been talking like it, and acting like it, about as far as he can

[FlyingPiggy]

167. He may not be perfect (gasp!), but he's done a good job in light of the ridiculous political landscape.

I just can’t believe there are progressives carrying water for our fascist opponent. Here are our choices: democracy or fascism. I’m ridin with biden!

[NowsTheTime]

168. I want to continue to live in a Democracy, and I want my children and grandchildren to do as well...

I said Biden would be a great president in 2020, and he is a great president.

[BoomaofBandM]

170. He keeps reminding us that there is good in our country.

Like many of us, he does not claim to be perfect but strives to be all the time. A true leader.

[Deek1935]

171. Because we are STRONGEST with an INCUMBENT candidate. And Biden has generally GOVERNED well. It's that simple.

[peggysue2]

172. Joe Biden has accomplished more for American citizens in 3+ years than most presidents . . .

Manage in 2 terms. He's a fierce defender of democracy and the rule of law. He reminds us that as Americans we can be better, more just and equitable, that we have a responsibility outside ourselves to our fellow citizens and the world beyond.

He is the People's President. He makes me proud to be an American once again.

I've said earlier that Joe Biden was never my guy or choice in earlier runs for the presidency. I voted for Biden in 2020 because I believed he had the best chance of beating Trump. I was right. But then, he exceeded my expectations becoming the best president of my living memory, keeping his promises to the American public, leading us through the Covid debacle that Trump exacerbated, pulling us back from an economic disaster and keeping faith with our European Allies.

Yes, he's old. He's also wise, experienced and dedicated.

He's earned the title of The People's President. I'd vote for him a 1000x if I could.

Biden/Harris 2024

[Qutzupalotl]

173. Joe stands with Ukraine and the free world.

The other team would hand Ukraine to Putin. They would let him invade Poland next, and refuse to honor NATO Article V.

Biden knows who the international good and bad guys are. (It has nothing to do with flattering the U.S. president.) Trump pals around with the worst dictators in the world.

Biden succeeded in ending the occupation of Afghanistan, where three presidents before him failed. Yes, it was chaotic and messy; TSF's team refused to even tell Biden the plan was happening before he took office.

There was no recession after COVID as many were predicting. Biden got money to the people who needed it, which kept demand going and the economy afloat. Now we're going gangbusters. The ultra-rich are nervous about taxes; that's who was calling for replacing him, using some elected Democrats to make those statements or risk losing their donations.

Biden supports unionized workers and walked a picket line. TSF gave tax breaks to people who don't need any more money.

Character matters. Biden has refused the unconstitutional powers granted to him by the corrupt Supreme Court. The other guy would become a dictator on day one, and stay that way for life. Trump's team helped write Project 2025 and is already hiring brownshirts to replace civil servants.

Biden knows there is no such thing as presidential immunity; that's just a phrase Trump pulled from his ass that should have stayed there.

TSF stole classified documents and refused to return them when asked. He ate his translator's notes after meeting with Putin. He forced states to compete with each other for PPE during COVID. He let Bin Salman get away with the torture and murder of Kashoggi.

I could go on, but it comes down to character, decency, respect, competence, wisdom, and integrity.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

174. I am riding with Biden

[proud patriot]

175. He's Effective and Honest

The most cosequential president of my lifetime .

I love Joe

[cpamomfromtexas]

176. He's about us not himself

And he’s dignified.

[claudette]

179. Because

I have NEVER voted for a Republican for president. And never will.

[BlueKota]

181. He's honest and actually cares about other people. He's also very smart!

[Ninga]

182. He proved hmself to be a savvy leader.

Go Biden/Harris!!!!!!!!!

[lees1975]

183. Countering very bad polls, this Democrat does not want Joe to drop out, he wants Joe to win.

If these self-important, attention seeking Democrats of no real consequence will just sit down and listen to the rest of us we'll be fine.

[gopiscrap]

184. First of all, trump is a dumb ass grifter

he has no loyalty other than to himself. But most importantly, Biden has shown steady, mature, caring leadership. I'm all for him. Fuck the withdraw bullshit which is fanned by the corporate media. I would vote for a pile of shit before I voted for that criminally convicted orange shit gibbon

[The Magistrate]

185. Deposing Your Incumbent Is A Trick That Never Works

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

186. Because he's competent and can do the fucking job

I don't need a screaming fake alpha male.

Those who wanted someone else should have stepped up earlier.

[NoveltySocks]

189. Agreed!

They've had literal years to promote alternatives.

[demigoddess]

187. because trump wants to be a dictator

[Cha]

188. Kick! TY!

[SupportSanity]

190. In November, I'm pressing that Biden Button!

I support sanity, one president at a time.
