I have no idea who Kathy Tillman is, other than that she's a Biden supporter and her tweet popped up when I was searching Twitter for mentions of Biden.


She's replying there to someone who likes this DailyKos post, which I also like:

Let mestart by saying, Joe Biden isn’t even in my top three choices of Democratic candidates for president. With that out of the way, here’s why I think it’s becoming more certain he will be our nominee.

Witness Biden’s response to Donald Trump’s unhinged handling of China’s retaliation against his trade war.

When Biden says, "I think it's only going to make him more erratic,” he knows this is what’s troubling the American voter—and he’s offering them a stark choice. Four more year of chaos, lies, corruption, lawlessness, or the experience of eight years as vice president in a successful administration.

We all know Biden is right here. Trump will become more unhinged. Trump won’t wake up one day with an epiphany that he needs to change his behavior. He will get much worse, and the worse he gets, the better the chances Biden wins the nomination and presidency.

I know Biden has a propensity for gaffes. I don’t think this will matter to voters, as witnessed by his continued frontrunner status in the polls. I also know Biden isn’t the change some on the left want, but to many Democratic voters, he represents a time of stability, experience, and a time there wasn’t daily drama in the White House. We should not ignore or downplay that voters could believe a steady hand may very well be needed to repair the massive damage Trump leaves us.

I understand and respect the argument from some that a Biden nomination will depress turnout. My reply to that is this: If any voter—and that Is any demographic or age group of voter—can’t get excited enough to remove Trump, then we are in a worse place in our politics then I could have ever imagined.

1. I have never understood people who need to be motivated to vote.

WTF? You vote! You pick the candidate that most closely reflects your views & you fucking vote! Even if you have to hold your nose, you vote. Even if it's a vote against someone else, you vote.

I was at a party before the midterms & overheard a young woman say, "If voting made a difference they wouldn't let you vote." I said, "If you were living 100 years ago, you wouldn't be able to vote because you're a woman."

YOUR VOTE = YOUR VOICE

2. Go right ahead! Don't vote!

It's your funeral!

3. Good to hear from some of those

people out there who are supporting Biden and why he's the front runner now.

Thanks, highplainsdem!
