Seven Reasons to Support Joe Biden for President

Seven Reasons to Support Joe Biden for President

1. Uncle Joe knows corporations. He made a career in the Senate out of representing Delaware, a small state in which half the corporations in America have their headquarters for some reason. 

2. Joe is the greatest. In the 1970s, Joe successfully pushed through legislation against busing that denied equal education to minority children trapped in underfunded school districts. Sen. Edward Brooke called Joe's bill “the greatest symbolic defeat for civil rights since 1964.”

3. Joe is tough on black crime, And he knows how to compromise. In 1984, Uncle Joe Biden and Strom Thurmond slushed through a bill that abolished parole for federal prisoners. The same pair of senators next passed a bill that set a mandated 5-year term for anyone convicted of possessing a tiny piece of crack, creating the famous disparity in sentencing between “white drugs” and “black drugs.”

4. Joe is not afraid of the ladies. In 1974 Uncle Joe revealed that Roe v. Wade “went too far” and “I don’t think a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body.” Later he fathered “the Biden Amendment,” which banned the use of foreign aid for abortion research. 

5. Joe builds character. Representing, as he did, a banker-run state, Uncle Joe has served by passing a long series of laws denying students the protection of bankruptcy laws. Joe is the reason students today cannot escape their huge debts and must accept lifelong poverty like responsible adults.

6. Joe can admit a mistake. When it came time to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act (an act that fended off big recessions), Joe Biden was right there, helping free the banks of Delaware to gamble with great success, until 2008 when something went wrong (with my pension, incidentally). Joe has said he regrets this vote!  God bless him!

7. Joe is a job creator. According the New York Times, the Biden Cancer Initiative spent 75% of its money on salaries and other forms of compensation. Its president took home little more than a half million dollars one year. 

At the moment, Democratic voters are looking for major changes, and Joe Biden leads in the polls. At first glance, Joe’s record of compromise may strike people as squalid, but he'd be better than Trump, right? 

Steel yourself.
