Things are looking grim folks. Despite Joe Biden’s amazing track record as president, the Democratic establishment has been able to force him out and replace him with a clearly inferior candidate. I don’t buy their official reasoning. We we all know that Biden has a healthy mind (unlike Trump) and one poor debate performance doesn’t change that, just look at his public appearances since then for proof. Personally I believe that the Democrats have been bought, possibly by Russia or Iran, but whatever may be the case one thing is clear: for the sake of our democracy we cannot allow this to happen. Joe Biden is, quite simply, not just the best but the only choice to protect the US from authoritarianism. In case anyone reading needs convincing here are just a few of his accomplishments:
- COVID-19 Response: Over 200 million Americans vaccinated; $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
- Infrastructure Investment: $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for roads, bridges, public transit, broadband, and clean energy.

- Voting Rights Advocacy: Pushed for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act; over 400 restrictive voting laws challenged.
- Labor Rights: Proposed raising federal minimum wage to $15/hour; supported the PRO Act to strengthen unions.
- LGBTQ+ Protections: Reversed military transgender ban; expanded Title IX protections to include gender identity and sexual orientation.

- Food Security: Expanded SNAP benefits by 15%, affecting over 42 million Americans facing food insecurity.
And most importantly: President Biden is the only person to ever beat Trump in an election.
It is imperative that we do not allow this blatant coup. Therefore I’m calling on everyone reading this to ignore whatever the Democrats are saying and write in Biden on November 5th.
