Joe's Vision: 404 Page Not Found [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-12-26 There’s a lot of positivity on this website about Joe Biden’s polling vs Trump. But let’s be honest. Call those of us who are worried names (“bed-wetters”) if that makes you feel better, but even the most positive assessments are telling us that it’s essentially tied, which for me is pretty terrifying, honesty. And by the way, I thought incontinence wasn’t a laughing matter, so in turn it would seem that “bed-wetters” should be scratched off the list of ways to dismiss those you disagree with? Just saying. So count me among the people who agree with this article which points out that it’s long past due that team Biden come out with their proposal for what Americans will be voting FOR, rather than what we’re voting against (ie Hitler). It’s past time President Biden says what he plans to do in a second term It’s hard for Democrats to be excited about voting for Biden when he hasn’t given them any plans to be excited about… Biden’s campaign website, as of Friday morning, did not offer any second-term policy initiatives, and his speeches offer few details of a broad vision for a second term… To engender the enthusiasm needed to win, his message can’t just be, “Look at how awful my GOP opponent is.” It has to be, “Here is how my second term will help you and your family.” He must address the issues that get his voters excited. And he must start making that case now and make it every day until Nov. 5. So, I went to Biden’s website. It’s only a donation page right now. When you google it, there’s a snippet that says “Joe’s Vision.” I clicked on that and this is what I saw: 404 You found Dark Brandon Let’s get back on the rails And buy my t-shirt while you’re at it. I’m sorry folks, but honestly I’m not entirely sure whether to be disappointed or offended. Side note: why are we going to “get back on the rails.” We’re on Biden’s rails, webmaster genius. Is this just a re-posted 2020 page? Sheesh. However… deep breath… in the spirit of trying to be productive, here are the things I think should be on that website, ASAP. 1. Housing affordability: Beyond defending you against GOP insanity, this is our big agenda item for the next administration. Here’s my moonshot plan to build millions of affordable, high quality, eco-freindly homes in the next 4 years. Bidenomics has worked to stabilize Trump’s disastrous debt-ridden economic experiment. We’re in a good place now, but housing is still out of reach for most of our citizens in a way that’s unsustainable. This is why you aren’t feeling the real benefits of what our administration has accomplished on our economy (insert Biden’s impressive stats here) and we plan to tackle it head on. 2. The war in Gaza must end: The toll on civilians is unacceptable. We support Israel and always will, but sometimes supporting your friend, sometimes being a REAL friend means telling them you can’t enable their worst choices. 3. Real freedom: My administration will fight tooth and nail to regain as much ground on abortion rights, health care rights, Civil Rights, LGBTQ rights, and the rights to access the books in schools that we all grew up reading. We’re not going to let these rightwing whackos turn our country into Russia. 4. Immigration: My administration will continue to reach out a hand to Republicans to craft new but humanitarian immigration laws. Right now we have a GOP that won’t take yes for an answer. They’re the only ones to blame for American not making any progress on this issue. 5. Healthcare: My administration will continue to hold strong against attempts to repeal or weaken your hard fought gains under Obamacare. We will do everything in our power to prevent the GOP from stealing from you to pad the pockets of fat cat insurance companies. 6. Economy: This is where I’ll admit we’re just going to do more of the same. We’ve achieved our goals and gotten inflation under control. Now is the moment to follow through and bring down interest rates so that people can start buying homes and starting new small businesses — to kick this already good economy to the next level.
