What can Dems do to replace some of the on the edge hourly breaking news"?

YES YES YES... For four years it's been non-stop crazy horror. Normalcy, yes!!! But listening to Dana Bash right now...snooze.

But don't think boring is normalcy. Surely there are good ideas to add some excitement to normalcy.

National lottery of some kind? Biden surprises a classroom somewhere? I got nothing.

That's the best solution.

Really, there are other things to watch besides the news. Or, and at the risk of extreme sarcasm, you might want to re-discover the off button for your TV.

who believes Biden needs the same kind of news blizzard Trump created except for a good purpose. He thinks Biden needs to overwhelm the media with so many acts and decisions, none of them will have a chance to slowly pick them apart or over-analyze anything.

Come up with some initiatives of some sort and put one of our younger future stars in the Dem party in charge of each so they get maximum exposure.

Maybe some sort of BIG national initiative that could be pieced out and accomplished in less than two yrs? Just brainstorming here. We definitely need a super savvy PR type on board to promote the good things we do.

Is just to stop worrying about it no one watches the news anyway?

Great answer!
