Great outline of what Joe Biden has done as president. Maybe you can help the Democrats with their messaging so that these accomplishments and the good he has done for Americans and for humanity can be front and center.
These are good numbers and headlines for President Biden. But the Democratic Party must also embrace the imagination and moral cerititude of the the working class in this country. They are the overwhelming majority of voters in the United States.
Right now, the Republican Party is doing that, and succeeding, and almost exclusively through two issues: abortion and guns.
The working class- you know who they are: the bartenders and vehicle drivers, welders, warehouse workers, the grocery clerks and automobile mechanics. The janitors, longshoremen and longshorewomen, and so many more to mention.
The nurses, doctors, attorneys, teachers and professors, administrators in public and private service (the middle class), many of them are Democrats. If the working class isn’t won over, it doesn’t matter. The January 6 insurrectionist GOP appeal to victimhood and scapegoating finds its foundation through abortion and guns. And the votes to winning are going to be found in the largest part of our society who work paycheck to paycheck.
Democratic policies, such as those focused on easing the cost of child care and prescription drug prices and other economic inequities are all about the working class. Figuring out how to provide health care for all is about the working class. Addressing climate change is about preserving a future for everyone, particularly those who can't afford to run from its effects. Do you propose that Democrats support unfettered access to guns as a supposed working class ideal (it's not). Do you think working class people don't use abortion services? (they do) The challenge for Dems is how to break through the thinking of an electorate willing to vote against their own interests for decades because of disinformation about "conservative" and "liberal" and who's actually looking out for their interests.
Do you think Republicans are NOT proposing legislation addressing child care, drug prices, and economic imbalances? Really? Do you think someone who is barely making ends meet, sharing a small apartment with a roommate who maybe might be there next month, in an old apartment building with noisy neighbors on every floor, cares very much about climate change? Do you? REALLY? Well, the Republicans DO care about those things, and they usually package their ideas as tax cuts, and/or deregulation. And they’re winning. What’s different now is the newly-organized GOP is adding fear and hate and anger to stimulate their base, and that dovetails perfectly with their belief in violence and intimidation as the solution and fundamentalist religious values (another form of domination) as encapsulated by guns and abortion. You are typical of elitist Democratic Party saboteurs who actually blame the working class for voting against their own interests. They’re not. They’re voting for someone who they believe is actually LISTENING to them. And they’ve run out of patience.
Hum, the packaged ideas from Republicans, they care about economic imbalances, oh please I would like to see some examples of that, like their support of the Affordable Care Act! Tax cuts have taken dollars from us working class slobs and then those dollars have wound up in the wallets of the more wealthy. Gee I wonder why the wealth gap has grown exponentially over the last 20 years.
And deregulation, what deregulation policies have benefited again us working class slobs??? Come on, list them here.
You’re responding to my initial post as if I’m a Republican, or even conservative.
If you’ve read any of my other posts, and I’m guessing you have, you might sound like a more convincing Democrat- which you are not.
And the nice thing about Mary L. Trump’s site is that the posts made within are pretty self-explanatory.
The preponderance of your questions (what makes you think I- or anyone else- owe you any answers?) show not an inquisitive mind dedicated to improving the lives of your fellow countrymen, but a spirit born of harassment and spite which reacts to anything unorthodox to your own beliefs. And the Democratic Party needs less of that for sure.
Despite putting forth other candidates, I embrace all of these, and believe they are likely to enjoy being in one another’s company. Similar good values. I am happy that Biden has appointed so many judges, 75 percent of which are women and 65 percent are people of color. American is headed on the right direction: forward toward a more democratic society, under the Biden/Harris administration. May we here energize a giant BLUE WAVE in 2022!
Mary L. Trump, I have read your books, listen to your podcast, and will subscribe to anything you have to say. I admire you, your intelligence, and your desire to Keep America Great!
This list is perfect.
Love this whole idea of Good Guy of the Year. Thanks for creating this, Mary. And I agree whole heartedly with the final results.
I've always believed that Joe Biden was born to be POTUS.
And was always sad when his attempts failed. Then there was losing Beau . . .
So what resonates w/me is the Right Time piece. It seems to confirm my belief in cosmic timing.
Don’t forget that Biden also appointed 38 Federal judges in his first year.

Most excellent!
Great list! Joe Biden is a genuine Good Guy!
A person with a heart is all it take. The rest is a plus
We are blessed with many wonderful people🙏🏻👍
