what do you want to hear from Biden tonight?

To be honest........ we've been on the attack on drumpf all week. We know he sucks, so does America. Tonight I want Biden to sit as all down and talk to us like a parent talking to a kid who just struck out 4 times in their first little league game, and got punched by the school bully.

We need to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I want Biden to lay out his plans and vision for America.

drumpf has had the last four years.... don't make tonight about him, other than telling us what you're going to do to make it right.

In other words... when tonight is over... don't let the media say "all the Democrats have to offer is voting against drumpf". Make sure America knows exactly WHY we should vote for Biden.

I want him to say, “I WILL BEAT TRUMP LIKE A DRUM.”

And then I want to feel inspired to help him do it.

It doesn’t matter to me. I’d vote for a ham sandwich if that’s what was running against tRump, one of the worst humans walking the earth.

During one of the debates, with all the doom and gloom from Sanders and Warren, he concluded his remarks:

This is America! There is nothing that we cannot do. And this was before the friendly virus landed on our shores.

Agree that is more about not trump. Use the fingers to count: first, develop a plan to help all the unemployed, second, restore relations with our allies, third, join the climate accord; four - a closer, deep look at the ACA, five - mobilize all the best epidemiologists to coordinate efforts on testing and developing treatments six... well, you know.

Based in reality, and so far — from the first week he announced — that’s what I’ve heard from him. When he’s sounded perfect, he’s made me tearful with hope for a return to sanity and excited about our modern times. When he’s sounded human, I still heard a thinking and feeling person with good ideas and rich experience.

I’d be happy with any of it, and I am glad we are finally heading to unseat the worst pResident in the history of the United States.

on burying Trump under a mountain of ballots, explain how he is going to undo four years of shit in six months. Then, I want to hear ideas on moving a unified (as far as the right will allow) America forward.

I want to hear wisdom from an adult. I am sick of child leadership.
