I wish President Biden was a good debater. I know he’s a good president. He tamed Covid. He passed infrastructure when Trump could not. He outmaneuvered McCarthy on the debt ceiling. His CHIPS and IRA have brought manufacturing jobs and factory investments to the USA, and have accelerated progress toward a clean economy — an economy that The Economist magazine describes as “the envy of the world.” His record speaks for itself.

This is a quieter hopefully more disarming approach which hopefully will direct people away from their partisan corners and contemplate what kindof world they want live in and leave to the next generation. Please share. It can’thurt and it might help.
Hey people.! If people decide to share my idea with others please let me know, okay. ? It would be good if it went viral. Giving what we are facingi in this election Ithink this “statement” gets to the heart of the matter. Why we should vote at all and shy we should care who gets elected. thanks.
Biden's team must roll out a new communications strategy for the next 5 months.
Biden's not capable of effectively communicating the risks of MAGA, explaining Project 2025, or even delivering a coherent vision for the next 4 years.
There's a strong anti-Trump coalition, but it won't be sufficient if there isn't a tsunami of messaging around the 3 points above.
Agree, but with 4 months out this is on all of us. We are all part of”Biden’s Team”. Project 2025/ is already underway and THAT is what needs to be conveyed to voters.

Communicating the dangers of a 2nd Trump term is NOT on the electorate.
Biden has a global bully pulpit that he's avoided like the plague.
Democratic leadership has no coherent messaging about anything.
Short of firing the entire campaign staff, which I would do in a second, an entirely different strategy needs to be rolled out.
Biden surrogates need to be out every day, not Democratic strategists gaslighting on MSNBC. They need to be on local news, podcast, social media...talking about Project 2025, Trump's plans for a 2nd term, and Biden's plan for a 2nd term.
I agree. Whoever is advising and "managing" the President did a terrible job! DUmp them all before the next debate. He needs to memorize SOUND BITES, like :
"Rigged trials? 12 citizens picked by your own lawyers found you were a felon. 34 times." "You love Putin. You admire Hitler. You think the Charlottesville Nazis were "good people. No wonder you want to be a dictator."
Love Phyllis’s take on the debate!! Thanks for including that and the photo with many of our heroes!! Wow, how cool to meet all of them in person! Thanks Jessica for spending so many hours on an airplane in order to bring us this news!
Comments about what Biden‘s team should be doing are not helpful. And statements to the effect of, if they don’t do this, we’re going to lose, are also not helpful.
We have no control over what Biden‘s team does or doesn’t do. We *do* have control over what *we* do. And how we work to get the vote out For all of the elections in November.
I ditto all the comments already posted here. Saving the best (subjective opinion) for last of what teachers can do about posting the 10 Commandments in their classrooms is so awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Just continuing to nerd out and say again how awesome it was to see you in real life at the Network NOVA summit. It really is “Up to Us,” and with bright people like you at the helm, we feel hopeful and empowered and ready to go. Thank you for all you do!
With 61% of us supporting DEI, let's see if we can get 61% of us to begin a nationwide boycott of Tractor Supply, who publicly announced they will do away with any and all DEI initiatives. It's their choice; let's make them feel the pain of their misguided decision!
Someone in one of my local FB groups posted about this. He didn't leave a comment, just posted their letter. So I asked him what his thoughts were and he said this. "As a straight white male farmer that supports DEI and the LGBTQ community in very conservative ***** County Texas I will be using other suppliers from now on. There are more of us out there than they think.
I've gone to Tractor Supply's social media accounts and told them I now know what businesses in Germany were doing while Hitler was murdering the Jews. I told them to grow a spine.

Yeah we are all trying really hard to get the word out — farmers market tabling is a good idea!
Send people to the new website Biden put online a week ago all about Project 2025.

Isn’t it amazing?
How do we share that fantastic video?

No, I'm sorry.

If they can't do this, Democrats will lose.

Get it?
Yeah those are good.

It was a delight!

At the water cooler.
Person 1: jeez did you see Biden at the debate?
Person 2: Yeah, but did you hear the other guy.
Watch Biden, but listen to Trump.
The choice couldn’t be clearer.
Perfect.
I ditto all the comments already posted here. Saving the best (subjective opinion) for last of what teachers can do about posting the 10 Commandments in their classrooms is so awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Of course! I loved that one!

Se thank you, Kate. What a magical weekend. And it really was a pleasure to meet you, too.
Thank you Jess and Mr. Jess 💙 these posts are incredibly helpful to me
Aw thank you!

I've never shopped there, but I like the idea for those who do!
We have them here in Ohio, and I’m already posting the plan!
Someone in one of my local FB groups posted about this. He didn't leave a comment, just posted their letter. So I asked him what his thoughts were and he said this.
