🇺🇸 Let's spend a minute honestly talking about President Biden's approval ratings, and the reason they continue to slump: Democrats.

🇺🇸 You heard me right: DEMOCRATS

🇺🇸 Hear me out:

🇺🇸 In poll after poll, the president's approvals have been dropping off because more and more Democrats are disappointed in his performance.

🇺🇸 Lately, about 75% of Democrats approve of the job he's doing, down from 95% at the start of his presidency.

🇺🇸 Republicans' disdain for Biden and our nation have remained predictably static, about 95%, presumably because he really does go to church each Sunday, and actually practices what is being preached ...

🇺🇸You'd expect Republicans to try to tank Biden's approvals. You wouldn't expect Democrats to do that. Or would you, Senators Manchin and Sinema ...?

🇺🇸 And you can say, well, don't listen to the polls, they are just meaningless numbers ... But you'd be wrong. The higher Biden's numbers the better off it is for the Democrats running in these senatorial and congressional races that we absolutely, positively HAVE TO HAVE.

🇺🇸 The future of our democracy literally depends on it.

🇺🇸 If those numbers were even halved, to say 85%, Biden's approvals would be strong, and the wind would be at Democrats' backs as we head into Midterms and try to preserve our democracy.

🇺🇸 And, look, I am not asking you to dress up in some tacky outfit, and hang Biden flags on your cars and bow down and scream for him -- that's idol-worship and the Republican way -- but I am asking just what in the fuck you think you are accomplishing by talking the guy down?

🇺🇸 He's not perfect. But DEAR GOD, he's miles better than the alternative.

🇺🇸 From Day 1, he's rolled out of the rack each day and gone to work on behalf of America and the world to douse the dumpster fire he inherited from the disgraced former president, who's final act was an attempted coup. Once again: WHO'S FINAL ACT WITH AN ATTEMPTED COUP.

🇺🇸 Or do you miss the orange fascist he replaced, who used to roll out of the rack each day, grab his nuclear-powered cell phone and tweet about shithole cities, fictional caravans, chugging Lysol, women's looks, and WHO LIED 30,573 TIMES. That is a fact. Good times, eh?

🇺🇸Me? I like a president who opposes Putin, NOT kisses his ass. I like a president who supports AND BUILDS NATO, not tears it apart. I like a president who calls out murderous dictators, not writes them love letters. I like a president who respects women, not insults them.

🇺🇸 I like a president who protects our country, not attacks it ...

🇺🇸 With very, very few exceptions, Biden has done what he said he was going to do. Virtually the only time he has been stopped is by ... Democrats. Again, you can count on Republicans to work against the best interests of most Americans, so that's a given.

🇺🇸 What isn't a given, is the damage Manchin and Sinema have done to this country and our president, harpooning, among many other things, Voting Rights legislation and programs aimed at cutting childhood poverty in half.

🇺🇸 Time and again, they have done whatever is necessary to make sure Biden's momentum is stopped, because that is exactly what they are being paid to do. They are despicable and awful and can rot in hell.

🇺🇸But we have a chance to make both of them irrelevant if we simply elect more Democrats this November. And we do that by staying together as a party, not beating up on each other.

🇺🇸If we stay together, we win. And if we win, we save democracy.

🇺🇸 Then we can really go to work on things like protecting women's rights and voting rights once and for all.

🇺🇸 So if President Biden comes up in conversation, or you are actually asked about him, I'd encourage you to support him as a Democrat and as an American. Tearing him down is only doing Republicans' rotten, anti-American work for them.
