Let's go, Brandon!

Under President Biden and Vice President Harris's leadership, jobless claims dropped to the lowest levels in 52 years. The stock market is up 37%. 20 million fewer people are living in poverty thanks to the child tax credit. The United States is not at war with any foreign country for the first time in two decades so no U.S. service member will be in harm's way this holiday. GDP is up 6.7% in the third quarter (higher than Trump ever achieved). The national unemployment rate is 4.6% down from 14.8% at its high point during Trump's presidency. Gas prices in Oklahoma are actually lower than they were ten years ago. Democrats almost single-handedly passed an 1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill that will create tens of thousands of jobs, repair our crumbling roads and bridges, and lower prescription drug prices. AND the grocery store had every item I needed (and more) in stock to help me eat like a glutton on Thanksgiving.

Don't let the doom and gloomers convince you things are terrible in America. Things are not. We are coming back from a recession (under Trump) and a worldwide pandemic (worsened by Trump's non-policies and false information about vaccines).
We need to support President Biden like Republicans support Trump, fearlessly, tirelessly, proudly, and loudly (but without those stupid %#&*^$ flags). The difference between the two leaders is stark, President Biden has not been plagued with scandals, indictments, and massive turnover in the Whitehouse staff and nominated posts. He hasn't embarrassed us on the worldwide stage. He doesn't cuss like a sailor and push world leaders out of his way like a petulant toddler. He is navigating an ongoing pandemic, obtuse resistance from the entire Republican party who are competing amongst themselves to be Trump's worst heir apparent, supply and demand issues, and a rising sense of worker entitlement and empowerment in demanding living wages and benefits (which is a good thing).

I am proud I voted for Biden and Harris. While Biden is not a flashy, spotlight-stealing, man-baby con artist...and competent bureaucratic leadership can be plodding and unexciting...he is not Trump, who decimated this country with a blizzard of lies and a torrent of hate for which we are still paying a price. The hubris, narcissism, and rote incompetence has been routed to Maralago. Joe and Kamala are slowly but steadily turning our country around and with our support, they can keep making positive changes for all Americans.

And let's not forget, Brandon won that fucking race.

We're able to make Thanksgiving plans for the first time in two years.

Democratic leadership has most certainly saved hundreds of thousands of lives!

Thank you President Biden!!!

and make it our own. Much like they did deplorables. It loses its power if we use it to highlight our accomplishments and wins.

the “fuck Joe Biden” chants. I’d rather not.

For me, it’s just “Thank you, Biden.” No explanation necessary.

Thank you so much..........I've always known all of this but it makes me feel really good to see it actually in print. President Biden is a good man with a good humanitarian head on his shoulders. The world needs to thank him and his VP for their leadership.
