Open Thread | Fabulous List of Reasons to Support President Biden and a Reminder of What’s At Stake in November

From BrookynDad_Defiant

When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn’t expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.

I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for “gaffes.”
I didn’t care. Just wanted trump gone.

Four years later, things are different.
I wasn’t expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.

I wasn’t expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn’t expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn’t expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn’t expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn’t expecting him to forgive student debt.

But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.

He’s not a master orator,
He doesn’t move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.

Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat. He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.

THAT is what is at stake in this election.

We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.

If you’re looking for someone who’s young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.

I’ll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

    Anyone notice that Project 2025 has messed around with the page numbers online?

    Department of Education was supposed to start on page 319. It still says 319 on the bottom of the page, but it’s has moved to page 352 in the online version.

    JD Vance has made it clear he would not have certified the 2020 election results.

    In February, he said, “If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and so many others that we needed to have multiple slates of electors and I think the US Congress should have fought over it from there.”

    The MSM really did abuse the concept of “anonymous sources” to the point of absurdity by using it to push whatever anti-Biden narrative they chose, and then had the nerve to snap the public by journalist-splaining Journalism 101 to them.

    It’s why the trust is gone.

    JUST IN: #BidenHarris 2024 Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon released the following statement in response to Donald #Trump naming J.D. #Vance as his running mate:

    “Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people. 

    “As Trump’s running mate, Vance will make it his mission to enact Trump’s Project 2025 agenda at the expense of American families. This is someone who supports banning abortion nationwide while criticizing exceptions for rape and incest survivors; railed against the Affordable Care Act , including its protections for millions with preexisting conditions; and has admitted he wouldn’t have certified the free and fair election in 2020.  

    “Billionaires and corporations are literally rooting for J.D. Vance: they know he and Trump will cut their taxes and send prices skyrocketing for everyone else. 

    “Over the next three and a half months, we will spend every single day making the case between the two starkly contrasting visions Americans will choose between at the ballot box this November: the Biden-Harris ticket who’s focused on uniting the country, creating opportunity for everyone, and lowering costs; or Trump-Vance – whose harmful agenda will take away Americans’ rights, hurt the middle class, and make life more expensive  – all while benefiting the ultra-rich and greedy corporations.”

    Especially if they’re in the room with someone Black and a woman.

    Vance probably thinks he won’t have to prepare to debate MVP.

    By choosing Vance, Trump has made clear where he stands on violence, Russia, conspiracies, Jan. 6, abortion, spousal abuse and more. The worst possible pick for convincing anyone Trump is a normal candidate. In choosing the most inexperienced VP in history, he also raises the frightful prospect of an utterly rudderless ship should Trump not be able to serve.

    He can’t be prosecuted in office.

    He can’t be impeached because the courts should decide.

    He’s immune from prosecution after office.

    He can’t be prosecuted by Biden’s DOJ because that’s “lawfare.”

    And he can’t be prosecuted by a special counsel.

    We have created a dictator.
