In these troubled, interesting, complicated times it is easy to forget sometimes about what matters most in the world- preventing a nuclear doomsday scenario. After all, if there were to be a nuclear war none of the other issues we find so important would matter at all. Not immigration, or reproductive freedom, or jobs or the economy or civil rights or anything. Because we would all be nuked back to the stone age and all order and structure would be completely obliterated.
That being the case, there is only one thing anyone with a modicum of sense needs to know about Joe, to understand that he is the right candidate at the right time.
That one thing is this: Joe has a long and outstanding record on nuclear arms control and nonproliferation. Biden was the keynote speaker at the 2004 Arms Control Associations Paul Wernke Conference for good reason.
At that conference Joe said of the Joint Data Exchange project, which was a proposal after the Norwegian rocket incident in which Yeltsin thought Russia may have been under nuclear attack, that "With Russia, we should get off the time and get the joint data exchange center up and running."
Most politicians don't even know what the joint data exchange program is. You can be sure Trump doesn't.
Early in the Obama administration, in 2009, in the context of the Bush admins legacy of striving to develop a new nuclear warhead, which Gates and Clinton were in total support of, Biden, alone, spoke up in defense of common sense to say "No. The President said no new nuclear weapons. No."

So next time you talk to anyone who isn't sure, or is thinking of not voting for Biden, just ask them whether they are for or against everyone they know dying in a nuclear war. If they're against it, show them this podcast, and tell them the truth, that they need to bear it because it might just be the most important hour of their life.
Joe is the President who can do what needs to be done to prevent Nuclear Armageddon. This alone, regardless of what you think of his other policies or character, should make the question some people might still have, of who to vote for and support, a very easy question to answer.
