Lets Donate to Joe Biden...the best candidate to take down Trump...lets show Joe we have his back!

[Demsrule86]

I donated! Go Joe!

[samnsara]

1. i dont donate much $ at a time but i respond to every request I get to donate to Joe...

..usually 10-20$ at a time. Makes me feel good to give something back for all his service to America..

[Demsrule86]

10. Thank you...

I am donating...too. I give monthly, but I will give a little extra today...

[left-of-center2012]

2. No thank you

How will Joe beat Trump when he can't beat Pete?

[Demsrule86]

5. Thanks for coming in the thread and attempting to spoil it...won't work...

[left-of-center2012]

33. Pete's doing better than Joe

Bet on a winner.

[Demsrule86]

58. Joe is a winner as you will see soon.

[left-of-center2012]

61. Dream on

Dream's about over.

[Demsrule86]

67. We shall see. Time will tell. But even if Biden lost the primary, he will always be a winner...

distinguished Senator, wonderful VP...so you are wrong. He is a wonderful Dad, husband and full of humanity...so I kind of don't care what you say. He has touched many lives in a positive way...not many can say this.

[left-of-center2012]

69. Yes , but ...

This is his 3rd or 4th try for the presidency.

[Demsrule86]

70. And?

[left-of-center2012]

72. As I said ...

The dream is coming to an end.

[Demsrule86]

94. Well if Buttigieg beats Sanders in New Hampshire...the dream is imploding.

[left-of-center2012]

115. I think Sanders will win NH

Pete second.

[Demsrule86]

120. We shall see.

[mysteryowl]

100. I agree. I don't like how people come onto a thread to trash it.

[emmaverybo]

106. Thank you. Just to rain on a parade. So anxious that any candidate but one's preferred might get

a sliver of affection, supporters get a wisp of morale boosting from each other.

And then to persist at it. Refuse to go away lest we get a positive word in.

[mysteryowl]

107. I know what it feels like. I have posted threads that have been trashed

and I did not like it. A thread was posted about their chosen candidate, let people have that!!!

[emmaverybo]

110. Double thanks.

[musicblind]

118. Thank you!

I appreciate that. I wish we had more DUers who think like you.

[left-of-center2012]

116. Thanks for the laugh

The only posts to a thread should be those that agree with it?

[Zeus69]

6. Do you think Bernie can beat Trump?

Cuz he didn't beat Pete either.

[Demsrule86]

9. [phone]

[left-of-center2012]

81. Who mentioned Bernie?

Oh, you did.

[UniteFightBack]

18. Um that makes NO SENSE. nt

[brush]

28. All-white Iowa doesn't tell the story of what will happen in diverse NV, SC and Super Tuesday.

[Demsrule86]

41. Not unless we let it...we have to stay strong...

[brush]

55. Yes. Two small, nearly all-white states that don't reflect the party's diversity going first is...

unfortunately a form of white privilege that needs to end, especially after that debacle in Iowa.

No way the results from these two states with very small delegate hauls should determine who gets higher poll numbers, greatly increased fundraising, greater media attention and the chance to continue on in the race with a propelling tailwind.

[Demsrule86]

60. It is white privilege...they get to decide and POC are expected to fall in line...I object to

the attitude that Biden supporters will vote for the ticket so they don't count.

[brush]

68. Fortunately Joe has enough funding to go on but the two races already culled out Harris, Booker...

and Castro.The DNC has to change this.

[Demsrule86]

91. They absolutely do need to change this.

[emmaverybo]

108. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[Demsrule86]

121. +++++ Go Joe!

[mr_lebowski]

71. I'm definitely pulling for Joe, but I do have to point out ...

That a state with the demographics of Iowa ... 'all-white' as people are saying ... should've been an advantage for Biden against a gay man and a socialist. Not a disadvantage.

Just sayin'.

[brush]

82. Not quite. A caucus is an advantage to candidates with supporters who have leisure time to spend...

caucusing for hours. That excludes many blue-collar voters and others who have to work, older voters without transport, and so on and so on.
If you recall, Sanders did well in caucuses last cycle but not so well in primaries were people can vote in 15 minutes when they have time throughout the day.

Caucuses are inherently exclusionary and undemocratic because of these factors.

[mr_lebowski]

83. Fair enough, but that's a different argument ;)

Just sayin' ...

[brush]

84. For a caucus it is the argument. Biden is know for his appeal to unions and workers.

[mr_lebowski]

85. That's not the implication I think of when I hear the words 'white privilege' ...

I'll leave it at that

[brush]

86. I should've added Biden is known for his support among black/POC voters, who are sparse in Iowa

[mr_lebowski]

89. I get that there are reasonable explanations for Biden's relatively poor showing

If one purposefully and intently goes looking for them, they are there. I'll give you that.

I can see the argument that the caucus system is unlikely to favor the candidate of choice of poorer and/or less mobile people in the state.

But when I think white privilege I think of racism, and I don't really think lily-white Joe Biden had a bad day in Iowa with Democratic voters ... because of racism.

Seems to me that to assert that would be tantamount to saying our fellow Dems in Iowa set up their voting system to disenfranchise POC's ... which I'd prefer not to suggest, personally.

[Demsrule86]

101. How about the Democratic Party had a different composition back then...

But it was always a bad idea... it was 1972. Times change.

[mr_lebowski]

109. So it's a known fact it was done to disenfranchise POC's?

If so ... I did not know that. That is a rather unfortunate history, one I'd rather forget frankly.

On the positive side ... there's not very many non-whites to disenfranchise in Iowa to begin with, so ... there's that.

I kinda doubt that his showing in a proper primary would've been dramatically different.

I say that as someone who still thinks he's our best chance, to be clear

[brush]

124. Tis is getting pointless. Don't write Joe off before the actual diverse elections in SC, NV...

and Super Tuesday.

[Demsrule86]

99. I don't think so.

[Demsrule86]

95. Iowa tends to be very left and Biden polls better with AA voters.

[jimfields33]

78. Most electable except Iowa?

I thought Biden was going to win every state at least at the beginning of his campaign.

[Demsrule86]

96. I know for a fact, I said that Biden would not do well in Iowa, New Hampshire... but would

do somewhat better in Nevada, blow out Carolina and win Super Tuesday...still think that is likely.

[jimfields33]

104. I hope so to be honest

I do not want Bloomberg at all. I see some are warming up to him. But he’s exactly what we’re fighting against.

[Demsrule86]

122. I don't think Bloomberg is that bad...he has helped the party a great deal. That being said, I

prefer Biden. He is a a kind decent man and will be a great president.

[Cha]

92. In Iowa or New Hampshire? Don't think

she was talking to those who don't support Joe Biden for President.

[Demsrule86]

97. Hi Cha...how are you? I am not talking to those who don't support Biden...I thought that was pretty

clear so thanks!

[Cha]

102. It Is So Clear.. I don't see how some don't get it.

Mahalo, Dems!

[emmaverybo]

111. They insist we talk to them. Fearful we might...I don't know, carve out a small space free of Biden

bashing? Get together a few hundred dollars worth of donations?

[Gothmog]

3. I am maxed out for the primary

[Demsrule86]

8. That is awesome...you are the best!

[Gothmog]

15. I also got to meet Joe twice in person

[Demsrule86]

16. I have met Joe also...he is a wonderful man...If I told this story...sorry. but in

12 when I was working the Obama campaign...my daughter and I went to Youngstown...My daughter has anxiety. She really wanted to go...well we were kind of penned in at the front in a factory basically...and my daughter had a panic attack...I was working the venue but when I arrived SS was going to toss her out...I explained the situation and prepared to leave. Well Vice President Biden intervened and had her seated in a VIP section and gave her one of his famous hugs and words of encouragement. This is my older daughter who has done well, finished college and beat the anxiety with sheer determination. She says that Biden's words put her on the path to healing...and made her believe she could beat it...she loves Biden and has supported him this primary. She is a millennial too. I met Biden at that time and was blown away by his kindness and caring nature. I also called when he was still a Senator...forget why...and he answered his phone!!! We had a great conversation. Biden is the real deal. What you see is what you get.

[Gothmog]

25. That is a wonderful story

Thank you for sharing it.

I was a stutter until 4th grade. This was evidently due to a language processing issue that we found out that my son had. We were told that he was "delayed" when he was three by the head of the Jewish day school. After testing and therapy my son was Phi Beta Kappa, graduated with honors, editor of a law journal and is now a partner at a big law firm. I told Joe the story of my son and me and got one of his hugs. Joe told me about the kids with stutters he keeps track of. I told him that according to my kids, I have a light stutter when I am too tired and Joe told me that he has issues when he is tired. Again, Joe was amazing and I enjoyed my hug.

The Joe you described is the same Joe that I met in person.

Your daughter must have really enjoyed this. Again, thank you for sharing

[Demsrule86]

42. You are so welcome. Thank you for sharing your story...amazing...we both have great kids...

Joe is beyond kind...he is a decent man and will make a great president.

[Bayard]

36. What a great story!

Thanks for sharing it. I've read many, many similar ones.

Joe is the real deal. He will return empathy and kindness to the White House, along with strength.

I donate as much as I can.

[Demsrule86]

65. Thank you for supporting Joe..He is truly a great man...will be a wonderful president.

[Zeus69]

4. Done

In until Joe is out

[Demsrule86]

17. Thank you...I am in for the duration too...

[USALiberal]

7. nope! Nt

[Demsrule86]

11. Ignore...mean spirited post...by the by...you candidate is done after New Hampshire...maybe a few

votes in Nevada...maybe. But super Tuesday... He of course has my vote should he be the nominee...but

[USALiberal]

13. How about you stop telling people who they should donate to??? Nt

[UniteFightBack]

19. This is really out of line. How bout you trash the thread or IGNORE IT. NT

[Demsrule86]

26. Thank you for your kind words...

[Demsrule86]

20. It is a suggestion for Biden supporters and no one told you anything...you crashed the thread and

This really doesn't concern you now does it? And I am not violating any rules by posting this. Also, it is not the first one of its kind...many others for most candidates including Buttigieg.

[MontanaMama]

80. Turd in the punchbowl much?

[Demsrule86]

87. Hahaha, Thanks for having my back...

[emmaverybo]

112. My dear lord. Your comment leaves me speechless.

[Demsrule86]

123. Thank you!

[OliverQ]

12. How about no?

Most of us don't agree he's the best candidate to beat Trump.

[UniteFightBack]

21. And y'all are wrong. His GETTING IMPEACHED PROVES WHO HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT.

And if you don't like the suggestion than trash the thread or ignore it.

[Demsrule86]

43. +1000 Joe can do this...counting on him!

We need Trump out and a great president like Biden to clean up the Trump mess...

[Demsrule86]

22. Thanks for sharing...why I am blown away by this...I had no idea.

Most?

[emmaverybo]

114. Most where and most who? I think Joe ranks second among decideds at DU, still leads in

nation, has most AA support and 15 CBC endorsers to all other candidates’ one.

[UniteFightBack]

23. Have you asked any black folks their opinion on who can beat dump and who they support?

Yeah so just............

[Demsrule86]

29. Of course not...such voters are expected to fall in line...so the 'base' (not really the base) gets

what they want in all cases.

[OliverQ]

35. Bernie does just as well with blacks as Biden

especially younger blacks, and he does better than Biden with Latinos.

[Demsrule86]

44. Have you seen the latest polls since the Rogan fiasco? Not sure any of that is true.

[OliverQ]

46. Polls are meaningless.

[LakeArenal]

52. Polls are meaningless. Sure.

But not when they don’t favor Joe.

[Demsrule86]

63. That is about the size of it.

[HarlanPepper]

57. Even when they favor Bernie?

[OliverQ]

59. Yes

[HarlanPepper]

64. Honest answer. Fair enough.

[Demsrule86]

66. True that...and the polls are certainly all over the place.

[Demsrule86]

62. The polls that one dislikes anyway.

[emmaverybo]

119. Here's how one brilliant AA activist feels about Bernie accepting Rogan endorsement. She speaks

for many. The Rogan entry is part of a larger piece called “Here Are the Top Ten Most Racist Things about the Bernie Sanders” ...and is the second blog item.

Warning—some might find the photo of Rogan proudly smiling over
the bear he killed triggering:

Snip———————————————

2 Joe Rogan’s Super Stans
Here’s the deal: Bernie received an endorsement from Joe Rogan, and we soon found out that Mr. Rogan likes to say [retract] an awful lot. This is no big surprise, we found Bernie has used such language is his own writing, yet it was disturbing to hear Rogan’s nonchalant racism, and more upsetting, that he also compares blacks to Planet of the Apes. I’ve been told time and time again that Rogan has Black friends and they have no problem with his “jokes” so I am too Politically Correct. I am also told that my sensibilities are the downfall of the Democratic Party and that rejecting the idea of allowing my own dehumanization into the “Big Tent” I am ensuring an epic loss, and letting the “Real Racists” of the GOP win. Go figure. In the Age of Bernie, Black people are the ones with the problem if we don’t like being equated to sentient simians.

[UniteFightBack]

47. This is FALSE. nt

[OliverQ]

48. No it's not.

[UniteFightBack]

50. The little support that Bernie was enjoying looks like they jumped ship to Bloomberg. If it

makes you feel better Biden is down a couple of points to with the AA support..again Bloomberg.

Warren is now doing better than Bernie with black folks.

[Demsrule86]

98. Those that were supporting Sanders may have been upset over Rogan...as the Mom of a gay daughter I

was incensed.

[emmaverybo]

117. No, he does not. He does not do as well with AA electorate as Biden. Total numbers, not by age. We

don’t assign a higher value to younger votes. No one was talking about Hispanic vote. How many CBC members’ have endorsed Bernie? Are you just trying to derail the convo on donations?

[Cha]

93. How about.. she wasn't talking to those who

don't support Joe Biden for President.

[getagrip_already]

14. Yuppa!!

Gotta keep the ball rolling till this nonsense gets swept away by sc/super tuesday An undemocratic iowa caucus is not all of america. Neither is nh.

[Demsrule86]

32. We can do it...Send a decent caring man, Biden, to the White House...get rid of the

stench of Trump.

[FloridaBlues]

24. I donate every month as well

[Demsrule86]

30. Thank you...we can do this.

[Gothmog]

27. I am also volunteering with the Lawyers for Biden group

I will be doing voting protection for the primary with the Texas Democratic Party for the primary

[Demsrule86]

31. Thanks for that...the GOP are coming after Biden...they know they can beat dirty donnie.

[madibella]

34. I donated a few times this week!

I like Joe so much and wish him well.

Happy to donate even though it wasn't a ton of money. I believe in Joe!

[Demsrule86]

45. Everything helps...we got this Joe! We got your back.

[oasis]

37. Kick and rec.

[Demsrule86]

77. Thanks Oasis...cool name.

Go Joe.

[sunnybrook]

38. I've been doing it regularly

And did last night after the debate 😊

[Demsrule86]

49. Thanks...for replying...go Joe.

[flamingdem]

39. Done!

Thanks for the reminder and GO JOE!

[Demsrule86]

51. Thank you! Go Joe.

[Peacetrain]

40. Thank you for this thread!!! it was the first thing I did yesterday

[Demsrule86]

54. I am sorry I missed it...was pretty much out yesterday...my daughter is sick and I was down with

her...she is doing better. And my sis in law has not got on Medicaid so the home wants to toss her out...went to the office myself and also called Ohio ombudsman...so lots of irritating crap there. But thank you for your post as we need to get him some money so those that give too much importance to Iowa and New Hampshire...don't drive him out.

Update...not bashing Iowa. I live in a state that screwed up so bad in 2004 (or cheated) that we gave the election to Bush and not
Kerry- Ohio.

[LakeArenal]

53. Just did. Thanks.

[Demsrule86]

56. Great! We can help Joe win the primary and beat the orange slime bag.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

73. YES! K&R

[Demsrule86]

75. Thank you for the reply and the donation!

[WA-03 Democrat]

74. Done!

[Demsrule86]

76. Thank you so much!

[greatauntoftriplets]

79. I will today.

Thanks for the reminder.

[Demsrule86]

88. Together, we can do this...thanks for the reply.

[greatauntoftriplets]

90. It's done.

Thanks.

[Demsrule86]

103. Thank you greataunt...Let's go Joe!

[greatauntoftriplets]

113. Happy to have done so.

[DarthDem]

105. You got it

Good post. I donated twice what his latest e-mail asked a couple days ago because I feel he's the best candidate, the one who can beat the alleged president, and because I wanted to counter the ceaseless post-Iowa attacks on him in the media, trying as usual to hurt the Democrats, chiefly this time by CNN and those goofballs at 538.
