I surely get the angst Cylvia. The news is pretty painful most days now, and I know nothing of the worst pain of it. Re: Biden, I think he is doing a good job as president. Unfortunately, he has had a lifelong speech impediment and it is more apparent under pressure and with age. He also forgets things under pressure. I think his ability to make decisions though is still sound, and I agree with most of them or at least see that he has no way out on some of them. He has excellent people working with him. He is a good man. Re: the election, it will come down to two choices. I will support Biden. I figure he’ll continue to do a good job. If his health fails, our system of succession and support in the executive branch will address it until the next election. Things are not ideal, but good enough. Thanks for voicing the angst! Go Livvy!
Hey C. I agree. As I noted Biden would of course have my vote. I'm just concerned he might not be able to win given current circumstances. Not ideal to be sure. Big changes coming, but then again, on many fronts we really need some big changes.
Stuart Stevens: “A plea to my Democratic friends: It’s time to start calling Joe Biden a great president. Not a good one. Not a better choice than Donald Trump. Joe Biden is a historically great president. Say it with passion backed by the conviction that it’s true.”
“Because it is.”
“Yes, the desire to see the 2024 election as a choice between a normal, stable president versus an erratic thug under indictment in multiple states is seductive. But don’t base a campaign on that contrast. Don’t go into 2024 with the game plan to win because Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy. That’s true, he is, but that’s only making the case that Donald Trump shouldn’t be president. It’s not the reason Joe Biden should be reelected.”
“Joe Biden should remain president because of his historic level of achievement here at home while standing on the side of freedom versus tyranny in the largest land war in Europe since World War II, a role no American president has played since the Roosevelt-Truman era. Be bold. Walk into this campaign with swagger and confidence and pride.”
I appreciate your thoughtful comments and the article you shared. As I noted I feel Biden has delivered major accomplishments and will have my vote. Trump and his handlers are disastrous. Just very concerned about the bigger electoral picture.
Hi Cylvia. I knew you would support him. I suppose I was trying to put a different feel out there for those who are concerned about the doddering appearance. It does create concern re: electability but if supporters focus on the strength of his administration, as a united front, then it strengthens his campaign. A little counterintuitive, but electability is one of those counterintuitive things. Thanks again!
He is the son of Robert Kennedy, and he is running for president as an independent. You have to look him upon Utube he has he has been banished from mainstream media when he left the Democratic party., His policies are about the same has Marinans and i would not surprise if he picked her as his running mate. I am really excited about him, I built him a website about for months back, he is a very spiritual guy and he is up to about twenty two percent in the -polls. Steve
Hi Steve. Oh yes, I am aware of him. Didn't realize you were referring to the junior. I definitely agree with some of his views and not with others, but I agree he should have been heard. This is what I mean about the parties choosing who voters hear from and who they don't.

Here’s my emphatic rebuttal:
Biden Has Been a Great President
Stuart Stevens: “A plea to my Democratic friends: It’s time to start calling Joe Biden a great president. Not a good one. Not a better choice than Donald Trump. Joe Biden is a historically great president. Say it with passion backed by the conviction that it’s true.”

Cylvia--take a long look at Rpbert Kennedy, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Hi my friend. I am not making this connection. Can you add some info/insight?
