Some one said that people are worried about Biden not being a strong campaigner and that's worrying people.

I don’t think Biden should be our main strength on the campaign trail. For one thing he still has to put a certain amount of time into running the country. But more importantly we have some extraordinarily strong issues to pursuade people with. 1)Abortion and contraception rights. 2). Women’s rights. 3). Climate change. 4). Christian Fascism 5). Project 2025. 6). Not to mention the horror that is trump. Yeah I know I’ve forgotten others.


Let Joe run the country and make some campaign appearances, but send others out to ring the warning. There are a lot of people who are really good at campaigning, ie Bernie Sanders. Let them carry part of the load.

If Biden is taken out I know I will loose a lot of my enthusiasm. I won’t quit because the things I mentioned above scare me to death, but my enthusiasm will be gone.

The campaign would amount to an introductory star turn for rising younger figures in our party.

Let people know they're voting for continuity, and giving them a sample of who will maintain it.

Think. Again.

...let him keep doing whatever doesn't get in the way of his job, and yes, let's get other great Dems out there campaigning for him too!
