I am reading a number of stories and comments from people here at Daily Kos about how Joe Biden needs to be stepping down and letting someone else be the Democratic Party standard bearer in 2024.
He’s OLD, y’all. Old and, and… and there have been polls and news stories talking about it, a lot of them. Joe Biden said the president of Egypt was the President of Mexico. He misspoke the name of a country!
We need someone, uh, someone else. Someone younger. Some younger white guy, maybe. Because Joe Biden, dude, he’s really, really old.
You know what?
Joe is pretty old, for a US President, at least.
But much, much more than his calendar age, Joe Biden is the most successful United States President in FIVE generations in DELIVERING for the American People.
FREE testing and vaccines for the world's first true global pandemic in more than a century.
Infrastructure, more and safer trains and airplanes and hiways and freeways and local byways, too. A significantly large amount of greener energy production, with tax credits large enough to send a nationwide ad campaign out from the residential solar power installation industry, targeting you in your state just about any time you used a search engine, over the past six months.
The Dow Jones keeps climbing. I remember in iirc middle school, when there was great interest to see if the Dow would breach 1,000 for the first time in US history. That was 1972. Today, Feb 9, 2024 the Dow average was 38,671.69 and the unemployment rate has been at it’s nadir (lowest point) in half a century (4%) for about two years now.
HISTORICAL numbers on the US economy.
All of that brought to you by
Joseph Robinette Biden President of the United States
A man who is along in years, but he’s the best damned president to sit behind the Resolute Desk since my Grandfather was a POW of the Nazis in Europe.
The president who has delivered for the American people, time and time again.
Does Joe Biden make the occasionally verbal gaffe?
Well, you know what. He does. It ain’t new news, either. He’s kinda been known for it, for decades.

The Media made a pretty big deal about “how old is Joe Biden” and “Joe Biden, foot in mouth candidate?” a few years ago, and you know what?
More people than in any previous presidential election voted for Joe Biden in 2020. Over 81 Million of us.
I guarantee you that the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the members of the Republican Party would love nothing more than to see stories and comments here on Daily Kos EVERY DAY from now until November 5th, bemoaning the idea that we are supporting an old, possibly going senile old, guy who doesn’t know who the president of Mexico is (or at least didn’t know the other day, until he said, sorry, Egypt not Mexico).
That the very best choice for Democratic voters would be someone who is not Joe Biden. Anyone else, really, except for his VP. Not her.
Do you see what I’m saying here?
The conservatives are desperate that the Left eat it’s own in the 2024 election cycle, because all they have to offer their voters is a loser.
A huge loser who is looking at being drummed out of the real estate business in the entire state of New York, oh, and losing close to half a billion in fines/fees/damages, too. A loser who is facing down four criminal trials with a total of 91 one charges amongst them. A loser who just lost the ability to claim “presidential immunity” over one of his criminal cases, a Judge said, “Immune? He’s a former president, not a King” (paraphrased for comedic effect). https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/appeals-court-rules-trump-presidential-immunity-2020-election-interfer-rcna133234
So don’t do their dirty work for them.
Like the Olivia Dukasis character in Steel Magnolias said:
If you don’t have anything nice to say, here, come sit by me.
Only I mean it this way:
If you keep shit-posting about Joe Biden, who you say can’t win, you are going to start getting a Flag on the Play, from me. You’ll have earned it by being a dick. Or a shithead. Or whatever word or phrase you personally believe belongs in that sentence.
So stop it, will ya?
Get on board and be a supporter of the next President of the United States, Joe Biden.
Because that is what is happening later this year.
It’ll be a bigger deal if y’all start helping sooner, rather than later, too. We might win a few more House and Senate seats, if you’d go help out where you live to register new voters with the League of Women Voters https://www.lwv.org/elections/increasing-voter-registration
There are people in your city and county (Parish) running for Office in your state. Why not VOLUNTEER for one of them, maybe help them win their seat? They throw some fun after-election parties, folks, I’ve been to some myself. Start here and find your state or local Democratic Party: https://democrats.org/who-we-are/state-parties/state-party-websites/
The Biden Campaign has been using this motto and I couldn’t approve of it more:
#BidenDelivers
Let’s deliver for Joe Biden, friends, like he delivered for us the past four years.
