Democratic Primaries

I don't think Biden needs to tag along with Cuomo and Newsom, but I do think he needs to model what he's doing after them. Right now, they look really presidential. Biden is announcing what he WOULD do if he were president. It's all talk. He's not even showing up on CNN. Trump. Cuomo. Newsom. Whitmer. They're all over the news. Biden has disappeared from view because no one cares about politics right now. We're in the middle of a crisis.

Biden could be really effective, IMO, if he would pick one of the issues that is hitting us hard and do something about it. No one is tying his hands. We have designers volunteering to sew masks, for pete's sake. Biden could pick any one of dozens of critical problems: mask shortage, PPE shortage, rural hospitals without resources, Meals on Wheels, Food Banks, ventilators. Elderly and disabled people who now can't get grocery delivery because all the slots are taken.

The list goes on and on. He should pick something, and tackle it. Bernie just raised $2 million dollars for charity, for example. That's why Cuomo and Newsom look so amazing right now. It's not because they're good talkers. It's not because they're good at promising what they want to do. It's because they're taking the bull by the horns and getting stuff done, which is what people are looking for in a crisis.

Not talk.
