But they will be rewarded regardless unless Democrats take the offensive approach.

a formal prime time address to the nation from the Oval Office outlining everything Joe and the the party have done for Americans over the last 11 months. But, that appears to be a thing of the past.
Oh well.

People need the reminders, force-fed by far-right/CONjob crapaganda as they are.

I think I’ll start calling it that. Crapaganda.

Call me naive… but I sincerely believe if there was a national address (like in the days long ago) where the President addressed the nation honestly with facts, perhaps enough would see the light and help change the direction of this country, even for just one election cycle.
One can hope, right?

gave Trump a prime time sixty minutes every night for months on end, under the premise he was going to talk about the Covid crisis. He spent the first two minutes spouting his complete bullshit rhetoric about the Covid, and then the rest of the hour with his corrupt rhetoric about any total bullshit that his Cabal whipped up......Cute.........

Someone should suggest that all the TV networks give equal time to Biden. An hour every evening, Prime time, for months on end, commercial free, about the Dem's accomplishments. Obviously that will never happen, as 80+% of all U.S. major media is owned by Wealthy Republicans.........
It would also take on the persona of FDR's "fireside chats", and the Republicans LOATHE FDR and what he was able to accomplish to save our nation, despite the aftermath of the Great Depression and WWII.........
