OF COURSE I'm still "Ridin' With Biden" and, frankly, I don't understand how anyone calling

[Atticus]

themselves a Democrat can't or won't say the same thing---PROUDLY.

So, President Biden has not YET accomplished all that he said he would.

So far, is that HIS fault?

Has he not tried mightily to herd the diverse cats in the Democratic party into a unified force for progressive causes?

Unlike Trump, we really DO have many of "the best people" and anyone with a lick of sense is proud of them. Millions in "dark money" funds are being spent to disparage, nitpick and slander everyone with a "D" after their name. Most of that stream of sewage is aimed at OUR president.

Joe Biden is a smart, decent and talented POTUS with genuine concern for and empathy with ALL Americans.

If you have his back, that's me beside you.

[dchill]

1. This is great! A post just for Manchin and Sinema!

[markie]

2. this

is so reminiscent of 2009/2010... are that many of us so ignorant (rhetorical question)

I am so delighted that Biden is our President!

[AleksS]

6. I was thinking the same thing!

I was thinking the same thing. It does sound a lot like the same stuff that came at President Obama during the beginning of his term.

It seems there's a large subset of people that are just dying to jump onto the republican talking points, gladly lap up the GOP narrative, and just adore attacking their own.

Fortunately that worked out GREAT for Democrats in 2009/2010 so we should DEFINITELY commence the Biden attacks for not delivering our flying magical ponies quickly enough! ( /sarcasm )

No matter what the GOP and the GOP enablers want me to believe, I wake up every day now thankful that Biden's my president, and that Harris is my VP!

[soldierant]

48. Yes, and it has happened to other Deomcratic prsidents as well.

I can only assue it's being done in the name of whatever cockamamie bothsiderism the media have cooked up so they can say they are bing "fair."

But I really think it's turnout that kills us in midterms, I'm not saying theattacks have no effect. But I am saying that I really can't imagine anyone remorely with the Deocratic platform saying to themselves, "Joe isn't cleaning up the mess fast enough, I think I'll vote Republican."

But I can just see them thinking "Joe isn cleaning up the mess fast enough, why bother to vote?"

[LakeArenal]

3. Thank you, Atticus.

[Grasswire2]

4. and his decent, honorable Chief of Staff, too. Ron Klain.

I believe we are very lucky to have Ron Klain on board.

I fully trust him with our land and our children's future.

[Bayard]

5. I'm with you!

In KY yesterday, he was hugging people, not throwing paper towels. I am extremely glad to call him President. Its embarrassing and dismaying that a few Dems are holding up the agenda.

Talking with a very good friend of mine a few days ago. She's a rethuglican, but other than that, a good person. We've learned not to discuss politics so we don't come to blows. She did make a snarky comment--I thought Biden was going to end Covid (she is fully vaccinated). I said, he could if stupid unvaccinated people would stop creating variants.

[Duppers]

24. Nice come-back. 😁

[maxsolomon]

28. So illustrative of the dysfunctional political dynamic in the US

Righties now think they really have sarcastic hyperbole dialed in after Trump's glorious example. They don't.

Did Biden promise HE would end Covid? I would be shocked if he'd ever said that. He knows to speak in "We"; WE can end Covid if WE work together.

He hasn't even been in office 11 months.

[spooky3]

30. Good response. And, you would never throw in a dig

At Trump in a conversation with a Trump-supporting friend. You would avoid politics. But Trumpers always feel free to introduce their biases regardless of your feelings.

[Paladin]

56. Biden's my man.

It's a damn shame that such affirmations are needed on a Democratic site, in these days and in these circumstances.

[Walleye]

7. Amen to all that plus remember he has the whole country of Russia and its dictator against him

[judesedit]

8. I love Biden & Harris and am so glad they are willing to deal with the effed up mess they inherited

We couldn't have gotten better.

[Bev54]

9. Why is it Biden has to do everything in his first year???

He has a 4 year term, to turn it around and he has done a lot in the first year, to set the framework to do so.

[wryter2000]

10. He's already accomplished so much

He and Obama has/had to deal with a totally corrupt Republican party. And now he has two so-called Democrats blocking what's left to be fixed.

[Budi]

[IronLionZion]

12. We need to elect more Dem Senators

so we don't get sandbagged by Sinema and Manchin

2022 elections are coming up and inflation is expected through next year. GOP has been beating us up over that without them offering anything at all to help.

[Pepsidog]

13. I'm with you but unfortunately Biden has little margin for error as the media both right and left

hold him to a standard that no one should be held to. Hell, look at all the Obama scandals, the tan suit, the “you can keep your doctor” big lie. Who really has Biden’s back? Who can he depend on? I mean Al Franken was run out of the Senate for BS sex harassment claims.

[barbtries]

14. 100%

He's been magnificent in my opinion. fuck naysayers, it's so much more important to defeat republicans than to nitpick this president.

[Aristus]

15. I'm still Ridin' with Biden!

And our excellent VPOTUS, Kamala Harris!

[bluescribbler]

16. I have his six.

nt

[Smackdown2019]

17. No shutdown this year

How many shutdowns were there under Trump? I lost count!

[mcar]

18. I'm with Joe!

[yardwork]

19. I think Biden is doing a great job.

[Bettie]

20. I'm good with Biden, but

I'm not so good with the people who are choosing to obstruct everything.

And they are in our own party, in the senate specifically. In the House, they argue, negotiate, and, in the end, they pass the bills.

Not so much in the Senate.

I'm also not so good with the media and their relentless stream of bullshit, insisting that everything is a disaster.

Biden is doing the best he can, given the above two problems.

[relayerbob]

21. Agreed and thank you!

Right there with you!!

[karin_sj]

22. Agree 1000 percent!

I thank God that he and Harris are at the helm. They are doing their level best to help *all* Americans despite being stymied left and right by Manchin, Sinema, all Republicans, anti-mask and anti-vaccine Trumpers, and the frigging "both sideism" of the mainstream media. He is swimming uphill against huge odds and doing a fantastic job with the limits that have been forced on him.

[PatrickforB]

23. You are right. Biden is proving a transformative president.

I had no idea when he emerged as our candidate that he would have gotten as much done as he has.

Plus, as you say, he's a good guy.

[UCmeNdc]

25. K&R

Now if certain Senators can get with the program!

[geardaddy]

26. Thank you for posting this!

[BlueJac]

27. Riding beside Biden and all others , saddle up!

[LoisB]

29. Absolutely, AMEN!!

[sazemisery]

31. And that is me beside you.

I am very proud of our 46th POTUS and what he has accomplished so far.

[Progressive dog]

32. As am I.

Thank you.

[LW1977]

33. Not his fault that pseudo "Democratic"Senators are dropping turds in the punch bowl.

[UCmeNdc]

42. K&R

[DownriverDem]

34. righties

go nothing - no plans, no legislation, no ideas. They post crap with no proof.

[CaptainTruth]

35. Agree 100%!

[GoCubsGo]

36. Yep, and in reality, what he HAS done so far is a goddamn miracle.

When you consider what he has gotten done with the slim majorities in Congress, which is full of obstructionist assholes, some from his own party, and only in ten months, it's downright miraculous. Nobody with even the slightest grasp on reality is going to think he's going to clean up Trump's massive shit mess within a year. Anyone who believes otherwise is fucking deluded.

[liberalla]

37. I am with you! We are so fortunate to have him. He is the right man for this time.

[lees1975]

38. He's been in office 10 months and has accomplished more

than anyone since FDR.

He's the best choice, he knows what he is doing, we needed a smart, experienced politician in the Presidency and everything that is happening, including a roaring economy, tanking unemployment and legislative progress, shows it.

I heard a comment on MSNBC, from a Democratic congressman who said that Biden needs to put Manchin and Sinema on the spot, call their bluff and move the legislation forward. Turn the cameras off of them and on to people like Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren who take no prisoners and lay it all out there.

Yep, I've got his back and my Biden bumper sticker stays on the car for seven more years.

[iemanja]

39. I proudly support Biden

AND have criticisms. It's possible to do both.

[Atticus]

41. Of course it is. Me, too. nt

[Joinfortmill]

40. Joe rocks it.

[Lunabell]

43. If you love democracy,

you'll support Biden.

[DFW]

44. This is from back in the days of the campaign, but it still expresses my sentiments

I hope I'm not alone in this, and it appears from the OP (and others) that I am not.

[summer_in_TX]

47. Love it!

I'd never heard that before. Thanks for sharing it!

[DFW]

50. I completed it too late to be used in the campaign

I always underestimate how much time is needed to put these things together.

[lees1975]

53. Wow, I love that!

[DFW]

54. Thanks!

I had fun putting it together, even if it didn’t get used in the election campaign.

[niyad]

57. Absolutely love this. One of your best! Thank you for sharing.

And, as you noted, you are NOT alone.

Okay, I just watched this again, and the tears are flowing. Thank you again.

[DFW]

60. I tried to make it upbeat with an optimistic outlook

And my videographer perceived my wishes exactly.

[niyad]

61. You both did it very well. I continue to be in awe of how very fortunate we are to have

such a decent, caring, compassionate, intelligent person leading us in this time of peril.

[BlueIdaho]

45. Hell Yeah!

Happy to have Joe at the wheel!

[BigmanPigman]

46. Every day that I wake up with Biden as POTUS

my anxiety level is already half what is was during the fucking moron's years as fake POTUS.

[ShazzieB]

49. Am I ridin' with Biden?

Hell, yes, I am!

[NurseJackie]

51. The all-or-nothing philosophy is one that continues to do more harm than good.

Those who abide by that way of thinking more frequently end up with the "nothing" end of the equation (and for some bizarre reason, appear to be quite satisfied about it.) In the end, the effect is to sabotage, cripple or kneecap the Biden agenda. They have no real power to accomplish anything meaningful, so instead they end up being a disruptive force.

All I'm trying to say is that we remain in an ALL HANDS ON DECK moment... now is not the time to rehash petty grievances or to demand "perfect" legislation at the expense of losing it all. The time for grandstanding and nit-picking Joe Biden (and his administration) is OVER! Progress (no matter how small) is still progress. It may not be "perfect" but any movement at all is closer to "perfect" than we are now. One step at a time. Building and growing along the way.

We'll get there... BUT... in order to do so, we and our elected representatives MUST come together and support EVERY bit of legislation, EVERY initiative, EVERY policy, EVERY executive order; EVERY appointment... WITHOUT FAIL!!

[ejbr]

52. Sadly

We're in a place where the public somehow believes FOX News over 17 Nobel Prize winning economists regarding BBB. Up is down and down is up, and people seem proud of their ignorance.

[sarchasm]

55. Ridin' With Biden!! - check!

[niyad]

58. Standing right there with you.

[PatSeg]

59. Actually, he's accomplished more in his first year

than I'd thought was possible, especially considering the slim margins in congress.

[Poiuyt]

62. He's already accomplished a lot, but he needs to work on his PR

America should be rejoicing what he's done, yet we only hear of doom and gloom from the media.
