      All quotes are by definition cherrypicked. You want people to ignore the evidence of their own eyes -- which didn't work in 2016 and won't work now.

      The details of the phone call, some of which you cited approvingly, are far more relevant than a quote pulled to undercut it and c'mon, you know this. Shouting "2016" in a crowded general election suggests an unwillingness to differentiate between times/candidates.

      You want cheerleaders, not reporters. People should report what they see, even if it makes partisans uncomfortable.

      Okay getting nowhere. Selective quotation for invidious reasons is dishonest. In a larger sense, those who do not learn from Sirota are doomed to repeat him.

      In truth, Sanders and his campaign went super-easy on Biden. Trump won't. That's why it's important to actually pay attention to what is in front of our eyes.

      Aeii. Health truthers. Bernie called it "the Ebola crisis" twice in the last debate. Imagine if Biden had. That’s a witless game I’m not willing to play.

      Who said anything about his health? There are other reasons why Biden might be laying low.

      Sorry. Referring to "not right" in comment up thread. As in "not right [in the head] in front of our eyes." But yes, agree. Biden needs to find a public/frequent forum to offer facts, etc. and to contradict lies and disinformation. But shadow gov't is... tricky?

      If Biden can't figure out how to do tricky stuff in a crisis, he should step aside for people who can.

          Sure. But no evidence to suggest this at the moment. (Wishful thinking for negative circumstance was more fun pre-pandemic.)

          If you can't figure out how to stop yourself from reflexively attacking people working to slow the crisis, you should step aside for reporters who can.

          Jeet, is Biden president? A senator? A cabinet member? A governor or state official? No offense, but what the hell are you talking about? Biden helped create the Epidemic Response Bureau that Trump closed in 2018. Your bias is showing.
