Biden is too old to be running for president. He should have just did the one term and stopped. But he didn't. So, to save the American democracy, I'll be voting for Joe. He has done a good job as president and he'll put people on the Supreme Court that will support workers, women, minorities, and the LGBT. He'll protect the voting process.

Trump is too old too. And he is a criminal and liar who wants to destroy our democracy. He is only interested to helping his rich peers and hold on to power. He'll continue to hurt all the people Biden would help. He also wants to make this a Christain nation. So yea, he is very UN-American. Don't vote for him.

Everyone, be sure to vote.

If you want to get people excited about Joe as a candidate, you might want to stop couching your endorsements in "buts." Just sayin'

I don't care if they're excited or not, they need to do their civic duty and vote for the candidate that will be best for the country. I don't need you to fall in love, I need you to do your job.

I, too, am voting for him. But only as a small stepping stone towards (hopefully) something better.

I'm super fucking annoyed at people I know of that are voting for Trump just to "shake things up". You don't shake things up by voting for something that will absolutely decimate any and all progress. That will significantly alter positive ways of life for a majority of the US.

I really hope Biden and the Dems will for once play political hardball against Trump the way they did against Sanders.

[-] assplode@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Same here. Biden has given me hope they actually will.

Instead of the usual Dem capitulation to shitty R demands, he's told them to get stuffed.

This seems unprecedented in modern history.

Honestly hope he is reelected and dies in office. Maybe then the American people will realize that electing people that should be in a retirement home should not be in politics, especially as president.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when not a lot of people were paying attention, former President Donald Trump posted on his social media site that Republicans should "never give up" on repealing and replacing Obamacare.

The past week of political conversation about health care is a case study in how the Biden campaign intends to draw contrasts with Trump and amplify the former president's words to motivate Democrats and persuade independent and moderate Republican voters.

By Tuesday morning, the Biden campaign put together a press call with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussing "the dire threat to the health and wellbeing of American families posed by Donald Trump."

"Talking about rounding up Latinos, banning muslims, rooting out his political enemies like 'vermin,' echoing the rhetoric that we've seen from folks like Hitler and Mussolini in the past," said Tyler, listing just some of Trump's recent pronouncements and proposals.

As the Biden campaign sees it, the former president's extreme ideas are barely breaking through with voters, thanks to a combination of Trump fatigue and a fractured media environment.

This is a pretty dramatic shift from a couple of years ago when Biden world treated Trump like Voldemort of Harry Potter book fame, the one who must not be named.
