There's No Shortage of People Posting about What Biden "Needs" to Do.

[MineralMan]

No doubt, those posters are experienced campaign advisers, with vast amounts of experience in balancing positions that might possibly affect elections, right?

What Joe Biden needs to do is something I am not competent to judge. He needs to win, and that's up to us as voters and champions of Democratic principles. I'm pretty sure that Joe Biden has many campaign experts on hand to give him advice on how he can accomplish a win.

Please Vote and Take Your Friends with You to Vote!

1. What Biden's needs to do, is....

[Shermann]

2. No armchair debaters allowed on DU!

Yeah right...

[Docreed2003]

3. My response to those folks is

What Joe needs to do is continue being Joe...it sure as hell seems to be working

[MineralMan]

4. Exactly. Biden's Doing Fine.

What WE NEED TO DO is vote and help others vote. That's our job. Biden's job is already filled.

[Docreed2003]

6. +1

Spot on!

[Statistical]

5. Exactly. People should ask themselves would they prefer the polls as they are now or reversed.

If Biden was down 8 pts I would be losing my shit and probably saying he needs to be doing this and that.

Relax people Joe's got this.

7. Oh, there's no doubt

that right now Joe has the best of the best advising him. Also, Joe has been in politics for decades and by now, knows what works and what doesn't work for him. Voters get tired of overly managed and carefully scripted candidates. Joe "needs" to show us who he is, not a political consultant's version of him.

8. I agree with you on this

The extraordinary arrogance of some people is truly remarkable.

9. I am focusing on GOTV and dealing with voter suppression

I have been volunteering on voter protection effort for a very long time. I have been an election judge and have runned the voter protection war room. I have trained 100s of poll watchers for the 2012 and 2016 elections. I just took the course on elcection law for election workers and they covered a topic that I had never seen before. There is a handout that provides the law on what constitutes an unlawful militia This is from the course-Link to information on unlawful militias in Texas: www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2020/09/Texas.pdf?

In Texas poll watchers are very limited in Texas and cannot talk to voters. Poll watchers have to be appointed by a party or a candidate and there are severe limitations on what a poll watcher can do. I had to deal with True the Vote poll watchers in 2012 and we ended up having no real issues. The presiding election judge can eject a poll watcher who violates the rules including trying to talk to a voter.

This course deals with some of the proposed tactics that may be used by trump supporters. The presiding election judge has the power to arrest persons who violate the election or penal code at a polling location which includes the area outside a polling location. Having firearms within a set distrance of a voting location can be stopped if the intent is to intimidate voters. Under Texas law, a riot can be 7 people who attempt to disrupt voting and it is illegal to obstruct access to polling location. We have never covered this topics in past election law seminars.

I am glad that we are preparing to deal with some of the tactics that are being discussed.

10. Thank you

It’s become so tiresome. Everyone is suddenly James Carville and Axelrod. I see the “Joe needs to...” posts as back door criticism of the candidate.

[Bobstandard]

11. Me too: He needs to go to Texas n/t😘

[LakeArenal]

12. "The first thing Joe should do on Jan 20...."

is starting it’s rounds, too.

Very annoying....

[pwb]

13. I noticed too.

The poster is at 0% and should be gone soon.

[BannonsLiver]

14. Kick for morons who can't seem to get the message

[lame54]

15. Imagine people giving an opinion on an opinion board

[pwb]

17. I think some new members Opine a bit much.

Pushing Right wing shit here claiming to inform us? Putin crap.

[BannonsLiver]

18. They're actually less in the realm of opinions

And closer to stomping temper tantrum directives issued by people who have no idea what they are talking about. All opinions are not created equally. Some of them are moronic, and deserved to be mocked. Even on an “opinion board.”

[Shermann]

16. Biden was as solid as we needed him to be

He's a good debater, but he's not great. But, in fairness, he's not running for Debater in Chief. He needed to play conservative defense and not give anything away and get out his messaging and that's what he did.

All that said, he has no ability to deliver a brutal knock-out uppercut punch whatsoever. That can be a frustrating experience watching on TV as Trump walks around defenseless with his chin held up high.

By contrast, Mayor Pete has that ability. He's making his rounds on Fox News blowing them up like a hand-grenade.

19. Insightful take of yours on what we we need to do.
