Hit the road! Not just in swing states but every state, especially into black and brown communities and talk to the people. He also needs to do more in depth interviews live, none of this pre-recorded softball question staged crap.
I’ll partially agree with you there. However, election season or not, he’s the incumbent and still has a job to do. I’d prefer he focus on that. Even if he was out campaigning more, then the narrative would be “Biden spends all his time campaigning, not doing his job”. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.
Publicly speak out against the Kroger Albertsons merger and fight to block it.
Lower prescription drug prices for ALL not just seniors.
Not within his sole power to do. The reductions for seniors are via the Inflation Reduction Act which allows the government/Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Unless we get Medicare for All, that’s about all the government can reasonably do to lower prescription drug prices. While MFA would be awesome, it’s not within his power to do either.
There’s a lot more he can do but relying on “But Trump” is not enough. Voters are tired of hearing about Trump and want actual change that will improve their lives.
Considering those are the only two candidates (3rd parties are spoilers in the US - don’t kid anyone into thinking otherwise), “But Trump” should be enough (for the general election, anyway).
Those are our choices, like it or not. And one is unarguably worse than the other. Much worse.
For being “the most important election of our lives” (for the 50th time) and also “the end of democracy if Trump wins”, Biden should be going at 1,000% then. All I hear are excuses why it’s too hard and how the all powerful Republicans block everything the Dems do. Funny how Republicans get a lot of what they want even when Dems control things.

So he’s not telling you what you already know enough? I don’t get what you’re complaining about here.

What “excuses”? You can go to the House and/or Senate website and look at the votes for any bill. There’s no excuses, just numbers.

It’s really not, though. Dems are willing to compromise to get something done and R’s will bury their heels and won’t budge unless they get exactly what they want (and then demand more or just vote against their own bills because it might make the D’s look good). And that’s when R’s are even trying to do anything other than obstruct while saying “see? government doesn’t work”
With the former, we at least get something (even if it’s not perfect) and the latter gets us nothing (except tax cuts for the rich).
Then I look forward to Biden fighting for universal healthcare, legalizing marijuana, getting rid of for profit prisons, raising the minimum wage to at least $20, guaranteed housing for all, breaking up Amazon, and more.
Instead of constantly negging on the lesser of two evils and sowing apathy, you could try putting your efforts toward congressional candidates who could actually fix many of these problems.
We have no control over that. I’m in California. We tried to get somewhat Progressive Katie Porter to the Senate but corporate centrist Schiff, funded by right-wing AIPAC, was forced in.

His administration is doing exactly that.

Perfect cannot be the enemy of good.

Man, if the goalposts go any faster down the highway they’re going to get a speeding ticket.
These are things Sanders was running on in 2016, nearly a decade ago.
And?
Bernie’s not the nominee in 2024. Biden is.
