I absolutely agree with you. I would add that while continuing to inform the public of the lies and incompetencies of trump, let's also, with conviction,spreading and sharing the lists of the Democratic senators, congress men and women, and state representatives who have lead with real change for this administration.

Let's highlight the cabinet members and the entire team that Biden has surrounded himself with, and listened to, in order to make these changes.

Maybe we can convince people to vote Blue if they actually understand this progress by connecting the faces and names of those truly credited for making positive changes for this country, mainly in red states, and cleaning up the messes from the last white house.

Good post, but why was Kamala Harris not mentioned even once? Much of what you said would only be more applicable if she, with Biden's blessing, became the nominee. We can only imagine how the media would cover her as a candidate, and compared to Biden, she could even more effectively follow an anti-media playbook.

This was a Biden-centric article, I didn't try to leave anyone out. He's the candidate. The current media climate is centered around Biden and his age and perceived shortcomings, and that's what's angering many people and creating the anti-media sentiment among the left.

I agree that Harris, or whoever the nominee ends up being if it's not Biden, can and should use anti-media sentiment to their advantage. She'll definitely be the subject of an ugly smear barrage that will be facilitated by the media. For what it's worth, I do think Harris should be the nominee, but only if Biden decides to drop out.

It goes without saying that Kamala will be Joe's successor.

It also needs to go without saying that she'll be the nominee, as we have growing evidence that she would be more likely to reunify the party and defeat Trump.

Agree! That needs to be stated more forcefully, to put an end to all the folly. Thanks.

This is actually a very good (and long overdue) idea.

Watch The Democrats (TM) and the dEMOs not do it while the Republicans, Inc. walk all over them.

Billionaires & the MSM have tried to push President Biden out; the proletariat will not have it.

Double edged sword.

Perhaps Biden could say "Hey. I see the media is making money printing stories about me now.". ??
