Good Morning Blue Friends ☀️☕️

Happy Wednesday!

Below there’s a recap on the good Biden has done for the country.

President Biden should be our choice for the next 4 years. Not a convicted felon who was found liable for rape and is also in the Epstein Files.

Sigh… I think Haley’s supporters will not vote for Trump. I hope we can convince them to vote for Biden.

I want to talk for a minute about the things Biden *did* talk about doing in the debate, because I find it fascinating that people are criticizing him for not talking about what he is planning to do, because...he did?

Biden talked about how he got through a bipartisan immigration deal, increased asylum officers, and reduced border crossing arrests. Do I like this law? No. But he did talk about it.

Did Biden turn in a gold star performance at the debate? No. Do I like the Biden administration sending Israel weapons or working with Republicans to implement draconian immigration laws? Fuck no. Could he have done a better job of advocating for his positions? Of course.

These folks have spent 12 days talking about the debates, but randos on TikTok have had more to say about the substance of those debates than every major media outlet put together, because these folks would rather waste multiple 24-hour news cycles blowing hot air about a story they made up.

I'm tired of lectures about "Biden should've done this, Biden should've said that." How about journalists spend more time talking about the shit Biden actually said, than talking about this fictional Biden they invented to make a rehash electoral battle between 2 old geezers interesting.

However, every single pundit and "journalist" pretending that Biden didn't do anything at the debate except stumble over his words and struggle with a basic grasp of facts is lying.

The media wants someone that they can dramatically highlight every day. Chaos is good for their ratings. Biden is boring… he just works quietly at being President. Yawn. They want drama drama drama. Someone who can keep the populace on edge.

We are fortunate to have access to the Far-Right Christofascists’ manifesto that sets forth the policies and draconian laws they will implement to change the foundation of our government, the fabric of our society — from a democracy to an authoritarian hellhole!

NO!

If it is true that, in addition to being old, Trump is evil, a liar, and unfit for office (it is), wouldn't it just make more sense to write "The Republican Party Must Speak the Truth to Trump"

If it’s that or Trump winning back the WH — I’ll take King Joe any day! In fact—I’ll promote the idea that he does exactly this if things don’t work out in November.

This is mind boggling. The MS-media is still harping on the debate and Biden while Trump is running around saying all sorts of incoherent or insane things—like he ALWAYS has—but MSM doesn’t cover it. They don’t go on & on that Trump is unfit, that HE should drop out — not like they do with Biden.

Thank you, KittyKatGirl! Oh yes — the plan he knows nothing about, or who created it but — he first agree with it either. We are looking for another Blue Wave Win on November. And prove yet again how wrong the polls always are.

I want better too. But you don’t get better by harping on what’s bad. Especially the past mistakes. Move on. Come up with solutions. You’re only helping Trump & MAGA when you repeat everything they say is wrong with Dems and Biden If you want Trump to win…then so be it but don’t be an imposter.

I’m not going to voice the far-right damning talking points. I’m not going to harp on the debate performance. Or dementia. I’m going to point out the positives and why it is important to vote for Biden and Democrats down ballot. If you want to focus on all the negatives—that’s your choice.

I’m aware of all it I am part of the constituency that is and will continue to reach out to people like that who aren’t into politics and need good accurate information. I will advocate for Biden because he is the best choice — for 2024. We can’t switch race horses in the last furlough of the race.

Economics is complex.No one person has control over the pricing of consumer goods. Covid f**ked up a lot of things. Supply chain especially causing prices to soar. Supply/demand. Food producers left prices high even after supplies increased. Not Biden’s fault. www.supermarketnews.com/retail-finan...
