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

      Right?

      Like thank god for the American Rescue Plan that…checks notes…

      …by itself lifted more people, including more children, above the poverty line with government assistance in a single year than any other piece of legislation enacted in more than 50 years.

      Too old to be running for president? Sure. But somehow, this geriatric motherfucker has done more for child poverty than any other president in the last 50 years.

          It’s still a year out from election at this point. Right now he’s formally not running against Trump (properly he hasn’t even been nominated himself) so until the nominations are set it’s not helping anyone to effectively endorse a Trump nomination by running the campaign as though you already have a listed opponent. It’s a pretty well given, but treat it as if it’s not.

          People have an exceptionally short attention span these days. Making a more generally economic policy framework as the message rather than speaking to specifics now allows them to leave the details until closer to the election when people have a better chance of taking note and remembering it for the next few weeks until they can vote and then go back to their regular lives.

          At this point the population has become so polarized that all nuance is lost and people are just voting to keep the abomination that is the other site from utterly destroying the country.

      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.
