Why I voted for Joe

[oldtime dfl_er]

I'm just going to put this out there. I voted for Joe Biden in our state's primary today for this reason: when we take back the White House, we are going to need to quickly fill thousands of governmental positions, and add ambassadors and other governmental professionals. And when I say quickly I mean RIGHT AWAY.

Joe Biden has the connections, the expertise and the trust of many who would come to the table. Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders does not. He has not cultivated relationships with other Democrats, and I don't believe he has the connections to quickly get up to speed. This country needs to change direction and FAST if we are to restore the world's faith in us, and Biden will attract the people who can begin to work on that from day one. So, shall we say, it's not the man as much as it is who he would bring with him and who he would surround himself with.

I know there will be Sanders supporters who will bash me. But I'm not saying I disagree with Bernie's ideas. I just believe we need to restore our government as quickly as possible, and I believe Joe can do that.

2. And right now the job is

to restore government to full function, to restore the world's faith in us, and to restore the compassion and humanity we all expect. Policy disputes can wait.

4. You are correct on all accounts.

I believe Joe can restore our government, too. I believe that he will fill each position with competent folks and I rest assured that Joe will be ready from day one.

5. That was very well said

Picking a president is far more complex than just going for the policies you like the best. The actual person and the people he/she brings with them are extremely important.

11. You're absolutely right. The time to redecorate a house isn't when it's on fire.

Our Nation needs to be normal again, and very quickly.

Joe can do that.

Joe will get it done.
