I have noticed that Biden and Harris have definitely upped their game on Instagram, but they and the Democrats need to do much more - on the offensive, not on the back foot.

Joe, “Mr Nice Guy”, needs to go “in your face” to his fellow dems and All Others or there will no longer be a democratic US. I cut my eye teeth at 27 negotiating as a management rep with the Teamsters in Harrisburg, PA. I didn’t know whether s t or go blind but , we finished the deal and over the years I negotiated dozens of IBT contracts as well many other unions. What’s my message - never let them see you sweat! When they (others) see you sweat, figuratively or otherwise, you come across as weak - whether you are or not. What am I talking -about? 1 simple thing - as psych a major I learned an important lesson “Perception is a component of reality”. What does this have to do with Joe and our nation? Joe is dealing with the greatest perception our nation has ever faced. I believe Shakespeare wrote “Tis time to screw your courage to the sticking point.” We are running out of time! Joey, get in their f ing face and tell everyone to step or give up - there is no in between. Joe’s handlers MUST MOVE NOW! George Allen came to the Redskins moribund football team and signed a bunch of older players who had - maybe 2 years to play. His critics said Coach you are bringing in all these “old guys” who only have a year or two - you could be mortgaging the future. Allen said “For me the FUTURE is now! JOEY WAKE THE F K UP! AMERICAS FUTURE IS NOW! Signing off now to drink my warm milk and have a cookie.

Damn straight Bob; approaching 'the abyss' as though it's some academic issue to walk by, they have to find their steel in truth and blunt honesty, regardless the personal risks. That's how I see it.

Music and the arts must lead the chorus. A full front approach.
