📢 Why I Stand Firmly with Biden

As a grassroots leader of a progressive group, I am happy to announce that I will support Joe Biden’s campaign for President of the United States. The debate on Thursday made me fall deeper in love with our candidate and here is why:

I am a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. Debates (and polls) will come and go, but actions prove who someone is. Joe Biden is a public servant. He has spent his career championing America to do better and to be better. Trump has spent his lifetime as an opportunist who seeks to enrich himself while feeding his MAGA ego. He lies, spreads misinformation, fails at everything he touches, and revels in transactional moments of hatred and bigotry.

I look at the actions of the two men on that stage, not just on that night of the debate but throughout their lives, and see a stark difference.

In Biden, I know that he has made a real difference in people’s lives:

  • Jobs Created: 15 million (more than the past two Republican Presidents)
  • Lowest Unemployment: Unemployment has been below 4 percent for the longest stretch in over 50 years
  • American Rescue Plan: Funded vaccination campaigns and reopened schools.
  • Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Rebuilt roads, bridges, and expanded high-speed internet.
  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: Appointed first Black woman on the Supreme Court.
  • Bipartisan Safer Communities Act: Significant gun violence prevention legislation.
  • CHIPS Act: Boosted American manufacturing and created jobs.
  • PACT Act: Expanded health care for veterans.
  • Respect for Marriage Act: Enshrined marriage equality.
  • Inflation Reduction Act: Lowered costs for families, promoted clean energy.
  • Marijuana Pardons: Removed barriers for simple possession offenses.
  • Protecting Reproductive Rights: Ensured access to reproductive care.
  • Climate Action: Rejoined Paris Climate Accords.
  • Support for Ukraine: Rallied international support against Putin.
  • Affordable Care Act: Strengthened and expanded coverage.
  • Criminal Justice Reform: Promoted accountable policing.
  • Student Debt Relief: Approved billions in loan forgiveness.
  • Diversity: In white house staff, cabinet, administration, and appointments

Besides what a leader has accomplished, I want to know if they have a vision that I agree with, and for me, that candidate is Joe Biden. I believe if we can take the House and Senate, and re-elect Joe Biden, he will sign into law policies that will take our country forward:

  • Women’s Health Protection Act (enshrines abortion rights into law)
  • Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)
  • Environmental safeguard bills
  • Student debt relief bills
  • Supreme Court reforms like ethics, expansion, and term limits
  • Equality Act
  • John Lewis Voting Rights Act
  • Freedom to Vote Act
  • Immigration reform bills
  • Gun violence prevention bills
  • Affordable Housing bills
  • and make significant improvements to Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and our healthcare system.

I have zero confidence that Trump would do anything for anyone but himself. Putin owns him, so our safety would be in danger. I will give Trump credit; he is a master at manipulation and gaslighting. But I am smart enough to know that actions speak louder than words, and Trump’s actions have harmed our nation, and if given another four years, he will destroy our country.

The next President is likely to appoint 2-4 new Supreme Court justices and so far Trump’s appointees on the Supreme Court have significantly harmed families by overturning Roe v. Wade, eliminating a precedent of 50 years and restricting freedom of choice. They have also damaged America’s environmental protections by overturning Chevron, a 40-year precedent that safeguarded the EPA’s authority. Additionally, the reversal of affirmative action has undermined over 60 years of progress, while allowing cities to criminalize unhoused community members exacerbates social inequities. Furthermore, permitting disguised bribes and giving January 6th insurrectionists leniency endangers our democratic principles and national safety.

I will double down to do the work to build progressive power and push our leaders to do better, and I will support Biden in this election. Why? Americans and Progressives don’t quit. People who want world peace and better for our community (with healthcare, education, housing, civil rights, gun safety reforms, environmental justice, and more) don’t quit. We roll up our sleeves and do the work to make change happen. And what if Biden steps aside? Kamala Harris will also be a great candidate for President. And you better believe that whoever wins in November, I will be there pushing them for progress. Why?

You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas. -Shirley Chisholm

Keep your head down, let’s do the work, and let’s get rid of these demagogues.

A hero does what must be done and seeks no other validation. Heroes don’t complain; they do something! They are selfless, seeking no glory or limelight. They see a problem and jump in to fix it. They make our lives better just by doing.

And In Other News … | Filosofa’s Word

Tomorrow morning the Supreme Court is expected to announce their decision about whether or not Donald Trump has immunity for crimes he committed while occupying the Oval Office, and if so, to what extent.  This IS IMPORTANT, my friends, for it could all but shut down at least one, if not more of his federal cases, could let a criminal walk free and commit even more heinous crimes.  The Court has proven itself to be the most corrupt in the history of this nation … will they ‘do the right thing’ and rule that there is no blanket immunity, that a president is not, in fact, above the law?  Or will they cave to the GOP?  Stay tuned …
