Anyone interested in joining a group of hundreds in supporting Biden?

I'll call the group Old Bearded Geezers for Biden.

If enough people sign up, I'll create a press release to publicize our support. Whaddya think?

and each of these groups can--in turn--form a myriad of coalition groups, each with its own identity, so instead of looking like "hundreds" we look like "hundreds of thousands." Maybe millions?

Meet that condition, and I'm all in. LOL.

Let me know soon. I was about to shave.

there was a group of us Biden supporters and people often commented that we were the most civil and pleasant among the different groups of supporters. We took that as a reflection on Joe. That is when we started the original Joe Biden group that is now "read only".

I ain't starting now. I was "clean for Gene." though, in 1968, because I was still in the USAF. In 1969, though, my enlistment ran out and I vowed never to shave my face again. Nor have I these 50+ years since. It is both a convenience for me and a political statement.
