Biden should talk about creating good jobs, jobs, jobs

[samsingh]

in addition to improving healthcare and reducing tax burden only on the middle class.

1. How are we going to create jobs now?

Long term, green initiatives will work, but right now a political party is murdering us.

He can improve healthcare access by not having ACA overturned, for starters.

Without people voting ONLY for democrats, how can he even try to get UHC for instance?

2. Until we do something about the virus there is no chance of that.

3. You are right. Biden is still slightly underpolling Trump on the economy.

If he takes that issue from Trump, Nov 3rd will be an early night.

It's a possible blind sport we cannot afford to miss.

"It's the economy, stupid"

9. exactly - he needs to talk about creating jobs intelligently. People i've spoken to hate trump

but would hold their nose and vote for him in the stupid belief that he's better for the economy. trump is horrible on the economy but he makes makes think he's good at it because we don't talk about jobs.


anyone who knows Biden - please have him understand that his perceived weakness is the economy and job creation. Address this head on and trump has no more perceived strengths.

4. I wish tne MSM would actually show him talking about policies

instead of pulling a deva vu of 2016 and it was 24 hours of tRump and nothing about Hillary's campain.

Follow those rating and $$$ MSM, we'll get 8 years of tRump if you keep this crap up.

5. I think talking jobs is right while acknowledging the virus problem but...

It's true that the virus is the immediate and existential threat but we need a long term plan outlined that shows thoughtfulness...not just slogans. The Dems need to give the un and underemployed hope AND speak to the fact that there are whole zones of the country where NO good work opportunity exists...virus or no virus. If the Republicans only keep offering up a middle finger, that should be a pretty persuasive approach to getting Dems elected up and down the ticket.

A challenge I would lay down to the Apples and Googles and Netflix folks is don't just say you support BLM, move some of your physical operations to places other than Silicon Valley and Manhattan/NYC. And Amazon and Walmart could give preference to their vendors that manufacture, package, etc. in the many jobless zones of the country. We won't fix inequality or help the WHOLE country by continuing to support zones for the HAVEs and keeping the HAVE NOTs trapped out of sight. We have to get the disenfranchised third of the voting population back active in our democracy and on the Dem side and this is about the only way I see to do it that isn't just words or a handout.

6. Creating jobs is going to require a modern equivalent of the CCC,

the WPA, and I'm not sure what else.

For one thing, the infrastructure needs a lot of work. Many jobs there. Enlarging access to health care will require more people working in that field. Jobs. And so on. I'm not enough of an economist to come up with more, but I suspect there's a lot more to be thought about.

7. One More

Target seniors and hammer the message that republics hate social security and want to reduce it.
Don't get specific. Just pound on the Rs as a threat to SocSec.

[Baked Potato]

8. Yes, agreed... no details and specifics to get picked apart...

Just lay it out, quick and easy. And, that goes for most other issues, too.

[samsingh]

10. Agreed
