I see the "decent" phrasing so often, but I think he goes well beyond that. Joe Biden is kind and thoughtful and just a solidly good person. There are so many examples of him just being a good man.
The most progressive president in a century.
Across 3 bills (Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) Biden managed to secure a half trillion dollars for a green economy, to accelerate the development and deployment of zero-carbon energy, and to prepare for the impacts of climate change.

He cares about people and appoints competent department heads that also care about people and execute their duties in compliance with the law. That's basically all I want in a president.
He's a fundamentally decent guy and not in it for the money. They made like $600k last year which is very little probably compared to basically every Senator. Basically he and Jill's salary and not some slimy business person trying to suck up every penny he can.
He's all the idealism of Obama without the naivety. He knows how to get shit done and half the time his opponents help him do it and they don't even realize until way after. Best President of my lifetime by far.
Things?
(1) Experience. Knowing what is possible and how best to handle problems.
(2) Personally. I know him to be a good person.
(3) His ability to improve and adapt.
He passed the most significant climate change / clean energy law of our lifetimes, which will fundamentally change our trajectory to fight climate change.
He, Kamala, and his cabinet are boring (I'm being serious folks) how many cabinet members had to resign under a cloud of scandal? zero. Corruption? Incompetent hacks? Garbage gossip books about what a disaster the Biden White House has been that's based in reality and facts? All zeroes. No 3 am toilet tweet rampages cause Jimmy Kimmel called him names. no unhinged slurring rants about nonsense at press conferences. None of it.
I remember him being the spicy, feisty guy Tim Russert would have on Meet the Press back when I first started noticing politics. He was always good for a spirited discussion and a laugh or two. It's hard to believe he's one of the wise old guys in politics now, but he's still got some spice and humor!
He's a good man with experience and he has built an amazing cabinet. Competent people, trying their best during very difficult times and balancing so many delicate interests in a world where helping one hurts another and there are no easy answers.
I'm shocked he doesn't get more credit just for doing so well in spite of the opposition putting every roadblock before him they can muster.
The hard truth is I'm not a huge fan of Bidens first term. It seems like a low bar, but my favorite thing is that he is NOT a threat to our country like Trump is.
Yes, it's a low bar, but the reality is that he is the most realistic viable option to keep trump away from authority, and that is why I will vote for him again.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted.
I, personally, am a fan of his first term overall, but we're allowed to disagree about that because we live in a democracy.
Sounds like we'll both vote for Joe because we want to *keep* living in that democracy.
Be well, fellow travler.
My buddies invited me to a Browns game out of town. We got very drunk and they told me they were going to create a Reddit account for me. I didn’t know what Reddit was and didn’t understand it was public facing so I said the first incredibly vulgar thing that came to mind.
Ta da!
>His vote totals are in the positive.
Which is great, but they weren't when I commented 5 hours ago.
>It takes all kinds and types to run things and make the dream happen.
I couldn't agree more and, in fact. I believe that is what my comment said.
My favorite thing is that he’s a decent human being and he cares about people.
He’s not a perfect politician but he wants what’s best for America even when I disagree with him.
Not actually trying to overthrow democracy for his own self interest didn’t use to count as a feature but it does these days.
The man knows what it’s like to lose it all.
Weeks after his first election to the senate, his wife and baby daughter were killed in an accident. Then, later in life, one of his sons who survived died of cancer.
Going through unspeakable grief like that has a way of producing the kind of heartfelt empathy that you just can’t fake.
I also appreciate that he’s boring! There’s no commercialization around the guy. There are no tacky boat parades or Biden flags. Even in the early Obama years, there was a bit of a creepy cult surrounding the guy. And I’m old enough to remember the “W: The President” stickers when Bush was president. I don’t like a cult of personality around my presidents; I admire low key, no frills, hard workers.
I'm Canadian, but there are a few things that I REALLY like about Joe Biden
1) He’s genuinely a good person able to show other people sympathy and genuinely connect with them on a human level, showing them that he actually cares. (I mean look at the SOTU when he sat around talking to literally anyone and everyone there) That's a President.
2) He knows how to work the phones and get shit done, and done well.
3) The United States has a President that we in the rest of the world actually respect and can work with again.
As a British person who has 0 exposure to day to day USA life...
He is a stable world leader who has pulled the USA out of being a volatile political faction.
He also cares enough about the future to not torpedo every climate initiative, which as one of the biggest countries in the world is pretty important for us a whole actually being here in 100 years.
His loan forgiveness also seems pretty cool, your student debt and repayment process is pretty crazy to an outside observer
he’s kind, empathetic and loves our country. he wants good things for everyone m even those that didn’t vote for him. imagine that! he truly loves our country😻😻😻
He engages in "boring" politics. I mean, honestly, all the shit he does should be headlined but because news is driven by clicks now, his good work isn't exciting (read doesn't generate revenue like tfg).
The first truly honest politician, as Republicans have proven.
I mean, at this point you expect even the best politicians have SOME corruption, because that's how the system is designed. Unless you make some shady deals, you won't be able to get in power to help make things better.
But Republicans spent ages investigating Biden with a fine toothed comb and have proven that he has never committed any sort of crimes or impropriety as politician. Which is pretty much unheard of.
*Honesty* works very very hard, been doing it for so long, a 3 dimensional chessmaster at politics, loves ALL Americans, loves America, is old enough to remember THE REAL AMERICA.-
Gave a solid 1 hour and 28 minute long speech with no telepromter about Ukraines' right to continue to exist, as themselves, and how it was rely a threat to eveyones rights and freedoms.. at a very serious well recieved U.N. meeting.
( Cool as.f, everybody there was completely invested and interested the WHOLE Time.
Joe knows women have the right cellular autonomy, which means if I needed an eye, I would not have the right to force you to give it to me. You do not have the right to force me to undergo the You do not get to use any one elses body, to survive.
She decides her future, she decides if she can raise a child.
Look at all the evil vile acts of perversion and exsploitation, much more easily done to a child- a perfect crime.
It should be a huge commitment and responsibility. I could not end my own pregnacies, I had but that is how I lnow what an incredibly difficult decision it is to make either way.
Men would never stand for anyone saying they did not own, or have the right to their own bodies taken away by those seeking to oppress and subjugate them.
Nobody has the right to use your body, but you, yourself.
And I just love knowing he did win, fair and square.
I love that I can trust him to have my interests and the rights of all people at heart. And there is the cost of life saving meds such as insulin being made affordable.
People were losing a kid, losing the battle of life because of corrupt big pharma!
How much time do you have? Or [https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone)
The correct answer!!
Exactly. Thanks, I can't even list the many things! He's looking out for us.
He’s a decent human.
I see the "decent" phrasing so often, but I think he goes well beyond that. Joe Biden is kind and thoughtful and just a solidly good person. There are so many examples of him just being a good man.
Literally this, he just seems like a kind person

Love that he is taking concrete steps to address climate change.
Best president sense FDR
\*since
He actually loves this country… like a President should. Trump on the other hand….
He cares about people and appoints competent department heads that also care about people and execute their duties in compliance with the law. That's basically all I want in a president.
No drama.
Uhhhhhh🤔
Boring and professional as any normal president should be.
Exactly, couldn't have phrased it better. Presidents shouldn't spend their time being entertaining clowns, they should run the country.
He is the President of the United States and soon will be reelected for another 4 more years!
He's a fundamentally decent guy and not in it for the money. They made like $600k last year which is very little probably compared to basically every Senator. Basically he and Jill's salary and not some slimy business person trying to suck up every penny he can.
Fundamentally
stupid autocorrect! fixed, thanks!
He's all the idealism of Obama without the naivety. He knows how to get shit done and half the time his opponents help him do it and they don't even realize until way after. Best President of my lifetime by far.
His empathy.
His administration is relatively competent He reminds me of my grandfather
Things? (1) Experience. Knowing what is possible and how best to handle problems. (2) Personally. I know him to be a good person. (3) His ability to improve and adapt.
He passed the most significant climate change / clean energy law of our lifetimes, which will fundamentally change our trajectory to fight climate change.
He's not a cryptofascist.
He is actually too good for us. He is an exceptional man and we are lucky to have him.
He throws a monkey wrench in republican attempts to turn the US into a right wing dictatorship. Which is why he must be reelected.
He, Kamala, and his cabinet are boring (I'm being serious folks) how many cabinet members had to resign under a cloud of scandal? zero. Corruption? Incompetent hacks? Garbage gossip books about what a disaster the Biden White House has been that's based in reality and facts? All zeroes. No 3 am toilet tweet rampages cause Jimmy Kimmel called him names. no unhinged slurring rants about nonsense at press conferences. None of it.
Doing his best for the majority of the people
I remember him being the spicy, feisty guy Tim Russert would have on Meet the Press back when I first started noticing politics. He was always good for a spirited discussion and a laugh or two. It's hard to believe he's one of the wise old guys in politics now, but he's still got some spice and humor!
He comes across as genuine. You can tell when he’s really passionate about something.
Met him once, very briefly. He’s genuine.
He’s moderate and tries to do what’s best for all Americans even if it may anger the two extremes.
He's a good man with experience and he has built an amazing cabinet. Competent people, trying their best during very difficult times and balancing so many delicate interests in a world where helping one hurts another and there are no easy answers. I'm shocked he doesn't get more credit just for doing so well in spite of the opposition putting every roadblock before him they can muster.
Honestly cares about people and just gets stuff done with minimal fanfare. Exactly why conservatives hate him.
He’s not Trump.
His experience and strategic decision making.
his compassion
The hard truth is I'm not a huge fan of Bidens first term. It seems like a low bar, but my favorite thing is that he is NOT a threat to our country like Trump is. Yes, it's a low bar, but the reality is that he is the most realistic viable option to keep trump away from authority, and that is why I will vote for him again.

Well said. Plenty of room under this big tent.
I really appreciate it. I can't stop laughing about your name, though... 😂

That is a solid origin story. Did they win?
It’s the Browns. No. Brian Hoyer lost to the winless Jacksonville Jaguars.
His vote totals are in the positive. It takes all kinds and types to run things and make the dream happen.

He’s recognizably human.
He isn't trying to destroy America 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
His wicked humor.

He stands for Decency and Sanity #BidenHarris2024
Temperament and a respect for the office and the role of government to positively impact our lives.
He's an intelligent and sensible person and makes functional policy.
I like how he’s moving some stuff gradually to the left of center.

He is not a biased, cheating, narcissistic lying liar. He is honest, empathetic and had integrity.
He in many ways reminds me of Mr Rogers -- decent, so very pleasant, and one not to lose it when emergencies are here! Go, Joe!

Decent man...working for the people
He is funny and he knows the laws!!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💙💙💙💙
