If you only needed one reason to vote for Biden, here it is (some sanity in the morning):

I promise you if I'm elected, I won't waste any time getting this virus under control.

I'll call Dr. Fauci and ask him to stay on. I'll bring together top experts and leaders from both parties to chart a path forward.

We'll get it done, together.

Much like Denzel Washington’s character in ‘Training Day’.
We can only hope.

Although, if Trump is looking into Bahamian citizenship, I wouldn't consider it the dumbest move he has ever made....

He might find the accommodations somewhat below his expectations, though.

The republicans have proven that they are incapable of leading. They should have no say in how we go forward. They need to be put in the corner like the petulant children they are.

economics, and employment. If they are real experts, they aren't bragging about party affiliation and are working to overcome this plague and plague of Trump locusts that has annihiliated this country.

Every minute Trump isn't working to fight the virus Joe should be tweeting about it or putting statements out. If Trump is on the golf course, Biden should be trolling his ass asking why is the president golfing during a pandemic or what is the president doing today to fight the virus. This should be the topic of conversation and the media should follow. The only thing reporters should be asking the idiot in chief is why is he letting people die. Ask Trump, why are you golfing while people are dying. Reporters should ask Trump if he is not going to coordinate a National response to the pandemic wouldn't the country be better off if he and Pence resigned to let Nancy Pelosi take over. At the very least you will get the word resign out there and piss ye asshole off.

If Biden expects help from Republicans on ANYTHING, he's making a grievous error. Republicans will sabotage ANY effort to fix ANYTHING. They're not interested in governing at all, and they have every incentive to see Biden fail even if that means that thousands of people will die.

As one of the parties is pretty much denying the existence of COVID altogether and doing everything they can to make it impossible to move forward at all.
