I think it is time Joe gets out to see the people.

[slater71]

Just a little nervous here that I think it`s time now that Joe and his VP get out to see the people. Does anyone know of a schedule for them starting to campaign outside of Delaware? Trump will be in four states next week and we have to start to counter this soon.

1. They are doing a good job setting their campaign up,

and I am not interested in pressuring them to change.

[soothsayer]

2. She's going on tour soon

[stillcool]

3. Big difference. Joe cares about people, their health

and their well-being. ...the other thing cares about himself.

5. Joe can meet people while insuring that those people are following what works,

effective masks worn properly, social distancing and proper hygiene procedures (don’t touch items without gloves on and don’t touch people at all).

The contrast between a Biden public event and a Trump event would be stark, and I believe would remove any doubt that electing Joe is best for the country.

[stillcool]

15. Yeah..it would have to be a controlled

thing...with X amount of people, and all other necessary precautions. It could be done right, and there is no reason not to. I'm probably just thinking about myself, and my age group. If I can't go, nobody can!

11. I care about Joe's health...

If he goes out he'd better not take health risks

[Blue_true]

4. I totally agree with you that Joe needs to travel.

He will have an airplane and can screen people before they are allowed to board and require that everyone wear a mask (only masks approved by the campaign over their nose and mouths).

There seem to be many people that think that Joe can win by staying close to home. I soundly disagree with that conclusion. Joe needs to do carefully planned events around the country, having people that will get near him tested in advance, as Trump does. And have EVERYONE wear a campaign approved type of mask properly, anyone not doing that get walked out of the event, without any questions.

Political races are about imagery to an extent. If Trump is doing some outside events and Joe is not, eventually that is going to be damaging for Joe, IMO.

8. Spot on. He can do it this way.

He has to get out. He cannot win this doing what they are doing now. I am not talking about thousands of people but small gatherings. And it has to be all over the country. He also has to start to do press conferences. This election will be here before we know it.

[calguy]

6. In think that when the convention ends next week

and the ticket is official, the campaign will go into the next phase. So far they've done everything right.
Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. We have trump on the ropes, let's keep him there.

[frazzled]

7. Yeah, we should do everything Trump does

Look, Biden was out there meeting with small groups of people. The last thing we should be doing, however, is encouraging large crowds to gather. It’s the wrong message to send, and it’s dangerous.

[slater71]

9. Yes. But he has to get out of Delaware.

[lagomorph777]

13. We don't have electronic communication?

How many people can he possibly see in person, in small groups? Seems like a huge waste of his personal bandwidth.

[octoberlib]

10. There's a fucking pandemic going on. The last thing we need is for Joe to get sick.

People who support Joe aren't going to be stupid enough to show up en masse and get infected.

[Kamala4TheWin]

12. I agree

Go sit in a different gym in a different swing state with 12 people in a circle and the local news will pick it up. They can also do bigger events outdoors

[Indykatie]

14. Joe Needs to Keep Doing What He'd Doing - Why Expose Him/Harris and Voters To Infection?

[uponit7771]

16. During an uncontrolled pandemic where MAGA Cultist can poison him? really ?!

[ElementaryPenguin]

17. No!!! That's f**ing stupid!

We don't need him to become infected!! He's doing fine where he is!!!

[Hortensis]

18. Trump's out because of his narcissistic craving for crowds.

Let Trump be Trump in full glare, and the illness that follows him add up. Nothing we'd care to copy.

CNBC: Joe Biden calls for a nationwide mask mandate as he pushes his plan to combat coronavirus

CBS: Biden and Harris call for three-month nationwide mask mandate

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, told reporters that all the nation's governors should require this.

"Every single American should be wearing a mask when they're outside for the next three months, at a minimum. Every governor should mandate mandatory mask-wearing," Biden said, suggesting that widespread mask use could save 40,000 lives over the next three months. "Let's institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately, and we will save lives."

While Trump's in office this won't happen, of course, which is why Biden's new ad announces that he will institute a nation-wide mask mandate, testing plan, and everything else that should be done, IMMEDIATELY when sworn in.
