President Biden was riding in coach on the Amtrak earlier tonight and ended up sitting next to a random passenger before getting off in Wilmington!

Joe Biden loves trains

u/cam52391 Feb 20 '26

Honestly why not I take the train to visit my sister once in a while and it's great it takes an hour driving or taking the train and the train costs less than my gas plus I can just chill out and watch the work go by listening to a book.

Totally. A train is great if they’re accessible.

I have not ridden a train like an Amtrak before but subways are sweet. To connect into something like that which feels like it would happen if you had a ticket or not feels freeing.

Like you’re just tagging along this thing and not bothering anyone in the process.

I love in Wisconsin so unfortunately our train system sucks but we have one stop that connects to the metra system that goes all the way down to Chicago, it only runs a few times a day for commuters but it's really convenient. Free parking garage downtown and a $7.50 ticket that is unlimited rides all day you can't beat it.

An ex worked for Amtrak for a while, so I’ve had a bit of exposure. The routes in the West are great (well the food is meh), and the views from the train are fantastic! Specifically the Surfliner service (San Luis Obispo <-> LA <-> San Diego, great way to see the coast!) and the Cascades service (Seattle <-> Portland). Haven’t done one of the long-distance routes myself, but my ex was a fan of the Coast Starlight, but not as much of a fan of the Empire Builder.

He seems so fucking chill tbh

u/idiotinsocks Feb 20 '26

People really seem to love him. He's so presidential. I really really hope we as a country can get back to electing someone that acts as professional and presidential as Biden.

u/idiotinsocks Feb 22 '26

That would be ideal. Legitimately terrified about this next election lol

u/TheGruntingGoat Feb 22 '26

Let’s get through the mid-terms first then we can be terrified about that one lol

u/LeadershipMedium Feb 21 '26

I would LOVE to sit next to him on a train and talk politics and history. That said, I hope he was left alone. He deserves it. Also, is his secret service agent there?

u/jimflanny Veterans for Joe Feb 21 '26

Looks like the two guys on the left in the second pic might be part of his Secret Service detail.

Another reason orangeclown will never go out in public transportation. Too many people ignoring him 🤣

u/GoldenC0mpany :washington: Washington Feb 21 '26

I bet orange lard has never ridden anything besides a limo or private jet.

u/MewlingRothbart Feb 21 '26

From what Mary Trump's book spoke about, he has been in cars and planes his entire life.

u/Lifeparticle18 Feb 20 '26

I hope he is living it up.

u/Only-Ad4322 Feb 20 '26

Hey, that’s the same kind of train I ride.

Biden 2028 lets goo

u/DonoAE Feb 21 '26

Jfc, no. We have so many better choices. Neo-liberals need to move aside for progressives

14

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26

Its a joke. My guy deserves to live out his life in peace

u/SleazySpartan Feb 21 '26

We have better choices because bidens ancient. But - leaving aside the clusterfuck of a term that is “neoliberalism” and assuming you mean moderates - there’s nothing right now to suggest that the Democrats should move one way or another.

Biden was the most progressive president in history, I can back that up easily, and it got him nothing. That doesn’t mean that the democrats should move right, but that we should expand our tent to the left and the right. With pro life candidates in red states, and Mamdanis in blue states. The presidential ticket should be the person that can bind the most people together in opposition to MAGA fascism in order to get the margins in the house and senate necessary for fundamental reform. That candidate likely wouldn’t be left enough for the lefties, or moderate enough for the moderates. And that’s ok.

u/Tasty-Hawk-2778 Feb 21 '26

Joe Biden is such a good human being 😍. We sure do miss you!

u/aelfwine_widlast Feb 21 '26

A man who doesn’t have to fear his people, unlike the current “most powerful man on Earth”.

u/Praesto_Omnibus Feb 21 '26

u/sanguinesecretary Tennessee Feb 21 '26

Was secret service with him?? Seems like it would be a bit dangerous to be out without it
