Dear Joe @JoeBiden,
May I call you Joe? I feel like I know you. You're a good person, not perfect, but better than many. Certainly a better person than some other people in Washington, D.C. who seemingly have been around forever.
It's a hard thing to say, Joe, but your approval numbers are in the low 30 percent in the polls. That doesn't mean that anybody would vote for The Former Guy instead of you; we've already been there, done that. You're the President.
But things are not looking up, Joe. You're doing so many things right -- rallying NATO, standing up to the little guy Putin (did you know he's only 5'7"?), appointing Judge Jackson to the highest Court in the land, making eleven straight good jobs reports and on pace to make 10 Million new jobs and 3% unemployment, all for the first time ever, and good stuff like that.
On the other hand, you're doing so many things not right -- opening up federal lands to oil drilling permits when you promised you wouldn't, choosing Merrick Garland, making moves that make Joe Manchin (Joe Manchin, for gosh sake!) look better than you, and not-so-good stuff like that.
So, I've been telling you on Twitter that you need to change it up. Maybe you've seen my tweets. I think I could have been a little more specific. In my defense, you just can't say a lot in tweets (and that's before Elon Musk gets his hands on Twitter). At any rate, you haven't changed things a heck of a lot, which is what you need to do, Joe. You need to change things a heck of a lot.
One thing that you could change is to stop turning off people that want to support you but are appalled by your catering to the corporate Democrats. This is your biggest overall problem, Joe. Being a corporate Democrat did not sell for Hillary, and Barack never ran as one (although he governed as one after he got elected).
Specifically, there are things you can change, and change now, if you want to, Joe, things like those oil drilling permits for federal lands. Some of your hardest-working supporters in the 2020 election were the young people of the Sunrise Movement. If you continue to turn them off with your anti-environmental actions that you said you were against in the campaign, where do you think they will go? Not to TFG, that's for sure.
No, they will sit out the next elections, Joe, if you keep turning them off. Why would you do that when you need support so badly?
Oh, and if it comes to that, how many corporate Democrats do you know that are willing to walk precincts and knock on doors and do all of the things that campaigns need to get done, whether it's in the Midterms in 2022 or the next National Election in 2024 or any election in-between?
Young people are willing to do those things. Just check out the aforementioned Sunrise Movement.
Progressive Democrats and Progressives of all kinds and parties are willing to do those things as well.
Pay attention to them, Joe. Listen to them. Put them on your policy teams. Change things now, Joe. Make things better. For you and for your country.
Thank you for listening. May God bless you and Dr. Jill.
Sincerely,
Dennis
