3. K&R!

[TigressDem]

4. A LOT. He hit the ground running and has barely come up for air some days.

Yeah, he's old and sometimes a little punchy.

BUT HE IS NOT PLAYING tiddly winks.

HE IS GETTING THE JOB DONE.

NOT Everything we want/need, but he doesn't have full Congressional support. 2 Dinos and a bunch of anti-DEM thugs on the other side of the isle are fighting those things.

BUT all these accomplishments are HARD WON and deserve our respect.


I FOR ONE am SO Glad that TFG is NOT in the White House pissing on the Constitution and making shady deals with Russia.

Thinking of tRump makes me want to puke.

Thinking of President Biden makes me smile, even on days he's being a bit of a doofus. He's earned a bit of levity.

6. Your title hits the nail on the head.

[TigressDem]

9. Thanks

At one time I thought I could be a journalist, but the idea of going small and concise frightened me.

Twitter sounded like a crazy thing.

BUT with the REICH Wing hitting us over the head with sound bites and talking points it made sense to try and get back at them with the truth, just more potently packed.

THEN it made sense.

5. He grabbed the controls during a nose dive

Saved us from crashing. Then gets blamed for the rough flight.

[liberalla]

27. That's a great analogy, and

This is a great list. Much gratitude to bahylonsister!

[FailureToCommunicate]

7. "C'mon man, we're just getting started..."

[TigressDem]

That is SO JOE.

[ancianita]

18. Tossing in an Amber Alert.

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. Comparable to docking the Titanic in NY after

the Orange Shitstain tried mightily to sink it.

[TigressDem]

11. EXACTLY!!

The orange shitstain.

[Peacetrain]

12. Thank You babylonsister!! bookmarking!!!!

[Vinca]

13. I wish Democrats running for office would mention it more. Every time they open their mouths they

should be talking about the good things that have been done. And when Biden speaks, he needs to stop his "undertaker talk." Example: "I know you're hurting." Or "I feel your pain." I know he's a compassionate man, but he needs to do more bragging and less hand holding.

[Stuart G]

14. Thank You for Posting & Sharing With Us...K and R... Outstanding.

[DemUnleashed]

15. Honestly...

Honestly, this list could not have come at a better time! I was having a Twitter discussion with a Trumplican and he just asked me to name just 1 good thing Biden has done. I said give me just a bit of time and I will tell you more than 1 thing. He tweeted back "Wow Biden is such a great President that you need time to think about what he has accomplished!"

So then I immediately went right over to DU just to read the stuff on here. I wasn't looking for ideas for my list; I just went on here because the guy was making me mad and I felt like I wanted to read some DU stuff just to feel better. I had no idea that I would immediately see your list! So I hope you don't mind but I used some of your stuff and just sent off 3 tweets!

I started the 1st tweet with "Ok...did that take long?!"

And I ended my last tweet with "Shall I go on??!"

Thank you so much, babylonsister!!!

16. Note that Biden has restored ALL the job losses under Trump

as of the last jobs report yesterday.

[gulliver]

17. As a President and man, Biden makes Trump look like an ant

It's crazy how our news-mediated perspective can become so faulty and absurd that we would have to say it, but I think we do. Whenever we say Biden did something good, we have to add Trump and the Republicans to the picture for negative comparison. That gives people side-by-side "product information" and prompts them to make judgments.

Unfortunately, we can't just say, for example, "Biden had the courage and wisdom to get us out of the war in Afghanistan." We have to add, "unlike Trump and the Republicans." Otherwise, peoples' "political buying decision" will be left unaffected, thanks to the fog of propaganda the Republicans emit and media both-siderism

21. Those little ants that sting and eat anything living in their path.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. More like a chigger -- a burrowing parasite.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

19. Keeping this handy!

[housecat]

20. Democrats running for office need to spread the word. Focus on the changes that affect

the most voters. Learn how to message. Then repeat repeat repeat

[h2ebits]

22. I have posted this to FB and hope many others will stand up and insist MSM does better

Thank you for posting because MSM is so right wing and negative that I rarely listen to the "news" any more.

[onecaliberal]
