What are you doing to help Biden win (besides voting)?

Typically my participation in elections is voting, sometimes donating, and hoping for the best. But with our entire democracy on the line in this election for perhaps our entire lifetimes, I'm feeling that isn't enough. What are your plans to help Biden win, besides the obvious one...voting?

OR
I usually knock doors, but I won't be doing that this time. Maybe some phone banking for local candidates.

Nothing. Biden's lifelong political ambitions have been to put the economic boot to black people, institutionalize racist militarized police forces, and associating with white supremists. Rightfully blame Trump for fanning the racist flames, but Biden spent decades building the fire.

Retweeting stuff as much as I can and donating.

I'm no Biden fan but anyone sitting it out and acting like Biden or Trump winning this election will yield the same results for the future of this country are woefully, WOEFULLY ignorant.

provide for my community, enfranchise as many people as possible, and inform confused or interested citizens about the political realities of today.

This, but I will still be voting for him. I don't live in a swing state though so my vote will just add to the popular vote.

If he keeps peppering me with texts to donate I'm sure I'll donate with the little money I have.

Biden is an awful candidate, I have no desire to "help" him at all. Good luck.

I'll probably vote third party like I did last election.

Essentially setting my ideology on the back burner to be open minded to his positive qualities. I'm radically to the left so Biden isn't my ideal candidate. But I believe Trump is infinitely worse so—in conversation—where I'd normally deride Biden and his milquetoast politics, I'm being generous in order to not dissuade anyone who may be on the fence. I'll start passionately advocating for further-left politics once we get the orange stain out.

I'm very much a leftist, so I in all honesty can't do more than just vote and tell people to vote. Can't bring myself to donate.

Same pretty much. I'm voting for him, but the Democratic party had their chance to have an activated and passionate base of support and volunteers with Bernie. I was doing phone calls for him for like 10-20 hours a week. I have no desire to do the same for Joe Biden. Now my resources are better spent advocating for POC rights and volunteering with organizing for protests and helping progressives win downballot. Helping out Ed Markey was very satisfying.

I've donated. Even though I"m not much of a Biden fan, I want him to win.

Donating, asked for clearance from my work to phone bank but have not been able to get an answer so I guess I'll just donate more. So far I've donated more to the Biden campaign than I've ever donated before.

Donating and making sure friends and family were registered to vote and convincing them to go to the polls. Granted, we live in Oklahoma so it feels that our votes don't hold much weight but I'm making sure we all still vote.

I gave him $35 for a pint glass.

Trying to dispel a lot of misinformation, miscommunication, and genuine lies (see: mental stuff) surrounding him.

Donating and constructively engaging leftists in my social circle on how Biden empowers their own, already elected, social democrat champions-they'd never vote Trump, but they may not vote at all or vote 3rd party if they don't feel represented.

Donating and arguing against the selfishness of "accelerationism" being a sound way to win votes.

Nothing. I don't actually support Biden or the DNC. I have been donating to help flip our state senate that is only a couple seats away.

This. Biden is fucking awful and I can't bring myself to do more than just vote for him, and even that is tough for me to accept. I live in the middle of Indiana though, so it's not like he's winning my state anyway, I'll just help rack up the popular vote margin.

I have donated to some local and statewide races though.

I dont talk about Biden per se but I got 2 people to commit to voting. I also talk about Trumps attack on the postal service and if he's reelected his payroll taxes will become permanent and SS will be toast in a few years. I also talk about other policy without dropping it being a democract policy or republican, seems to be in Missouri people like a lot of the policy coming from the left they just dont like the left /sigh

Anyone here putting out yard signs? Unfortunately where I live, that's kind of asking for trouble but if you are, more power to you.

Phone banking! I did some last Sunday, and it'll be more useful when we have concrete polling information to share with people and make sure they know how, when, and where to safely vote.

I am much more comfortable talking to strangers than any person should be, so I figure I might as well use it.

It amazes me that people can whine about Biden's politics and decline to vote when Jack booted thugs are gassing moms and shooting people in the back. What a rate privilege that must be.

I donated some money to his campaign. I get that Joe Biden is not the most exciting candidate in the world. Not much charisma there, but the guy's platform is actually pretty solid. It pulls us in the correct direction even if it's not massively disruptive. Plus, I mean, look at the other option.

literally nothing, because joe biden sucks and I'm not willing to donate my time or money to someone who's been openly hostile to positions I support for his entire life

he'll get a vote just because there's other shit on the ballot I think is worth voting for (and I'm not just gonna leave the presidential section blank), but there's no way they were ever getting more than that, and anyone who expected otherwise is a fool

That seems to be some peoples view no matter who is on the ballot. Noone will ever be universally approved of. I wish I could find that video of that woman losing her shit screaming all those years ago on youtube.

"We chose this..... MEDIOCRE BLACK MAN.... when we could have had Hillary!?"

Good lord, she was going tf off man.

I will vote.

The rest I leave to Joe's many supporters that won him the nomination and to the big donors that love him as a candidate.
