3. Nope. He's been around. I don't think it is particularly productive for him to be criticizing

 

trump too often, right now. trump is doing a pretty good job of screwing himself. There have been some good Biden ads, and he has appeared in a few places.

17. Really?

Really.

Gee. Nice. Thanks. Good vibes and humanity to you, too, Jerry.

For me? I'm trying to be just a little more gentle, kinder during this horrific time. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Take people at face value. Especially in my communities.

But you do you.

Peddling right wing talking points is a strange way to be kinder and gentler.

But, you do you.

23. Quite an exaggeration of my question.

I have no idea if its a rw talking point. It's qalegitimate q.

And by the way? I think he's missing his moment.

Also ? This is not a primary q.

Fear of free discourse is chilling.

Finally...really glad theres a mute here.

Happy Sunday y'all. Bye for now.

22. Yes, really.

Venture over to Democratic Primaries, where you will see that Joe Biden has been quite busy and is making waves, even now.

More than one person has posed the same question you posed. Apparently, it is a talking point of some kind. In any case, you posted it in the wrong forum.

29. when what you say is what they say on Fox and Rush then yeah, it's a right wing talking point

It doesn't matter if you don't like it but you fell into their trap.
Now defend your actions again.

9. Follow him on Twitter or something. Check in the Primaries forum. Biden's been busy...

...setting up his house for virtual communication, and doing a lot of it.

Unlike Donald "Clusterfck" Trump he can't just commandeer a press briefing for free every day.

14. This slight against Biden belongs in Democratic Primaries, not GD.

However, since it is a right-wing meme, I suggest self-deletion.

“Still, if you’re curious, Politico tells us about Biden’s upcoming plans:Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump. Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.

Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.
Immediately after the initial onset of the crisis, Biden also held his fire against the president out of concern it would look too political — an accusation leveled at him anyway by Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, who said that “Biden will take attention from real updates Americans should know just to score political points.” Ever since his commanding victories Tuesday against Bernie Sanders in Florida, Illinois and Arizona, Biden has made no public appearances or statements. Instead, he said, he has been spending time privately talking to health officials, businesses, governors and members of Congress.

To recap: Biden—who, again, has been out of the public eye for only three days—is (a) following CDC guidelines, (b) getting briefed privately by health officials and members of Congress so that he knows what he’s talking about before he opens his mouth, and (c) making plans to hold regular coronavirus briefings.

This all sounds pretty reasonable to me. I very much doubt that Biden has lost anything by staying quiet for a few days in March.”

27. You're Welcome

These are terrifying days as there isn't anything the Menace won't do to stay in power but we can't let fear be our guide. I remind everyone what FDR said about fear itself being the only thing we have to fear.

28. Well...

... most of his "absence" is due to the media not covering him. At the moment, there is a big story... And, if he were to try for a higher profile, he would either fail to get coverage, or be criticized because we have "one President at a time." ... reminds me of Hillary getting less coverage than Crooked Donald and the media complaining she had "no message" because they were not covering her message.

30. Yes - not because I think he's sick...

But because he's blowing it

He needs to get on tv several times a week to discuss this rationally with the American people

Trump is actively campaigning for free with these daily disastrous press conferences

Biden can't wait - he'll be forgotten
