(1,455 posts)I am so sad. I love him with all of my heart. But he is slurring his word.

(18,068 posts)It makes him look bad. I would have trouble speaking in public if I ever had to. Not only would it scare the hell out of me, I just don't have the voice for that. Biden made some good speeches when he was younger, but it looks like his speechifying days are over. That's hard to say because Biden is my favourite President of those in my lifetime. I really wish he could've had that second term. He was getting progress done. But it's time to hang up the teleprompter.

(43,896 posts)but it sounds like he's out of the loop. He's encouraging citizens to get out and fight for democracy, but what does he think is going on? Maybe I'm unusual but I've been attending a protest a week. My inbox is full of meeting notices for Indivisible and township meetings for Democrats, all of which are about resistance to trump and his GOP enablers.
We are having major success, too, as a 20-year old from a neighboring town found out the township has over $90k with Citizens Bank. The mayor and town council agree those funds have to go to another bank or financial institution for handling. Either that or Citizen's Bank has to stop handling financial transactions for these detention facilities like Delaney Hall.
Note that I said 20-year old. Our groups have made it a priority to cultivate younger people in this fight and I see the results at Zoom and in-person meetings.
Also, there are ongoing protests at these detention centers. The turnout of protesters is impressive. These protesters are taking serious risks because as we all know, these ICE goons are brutal.
So--Joe is four years older than dump and he articulates far better. I just wish his message had been more on target.

We're there!
We're fighting.
Joe! Check out DU!

(43,896 posts)I in no way expect Joe to be attending Indivisible meetings, but it's obvious from the slant of his speech that he's unaware of how intense the activity is.

(27,426 posts)Perhaps my title was a little dry.
Come on, Joe, join D.U. or at least lurk.
If you're getting your news and commentary from MSM, you're missing out on , well, the UNDERGROUND!
We play "Whack a troll" here. The media doesn't. They're ALL trolls with few exceptions.
Come on in, the water's free of algae here.
And we have a high opinion of you here, while others don't.
