How Biden Wins by Al Franken
<snip>
'When your opponent is digging himself a hole, you let him keep digging. By design or necessity, Joe Biden has laid low since we all sheltered in place, allowing President Donald Trump to turn the November election into a referendum on Donald Trump.
And right now, Donald Trump appears to be losing badly to Donald Trump.
Given Trump's inability to admit and learn from mistakes, there is the real possibility that he will continue to crash and burn all the way through to November 3. But Biden and Democrats can't count on that. Instead, they must offer the American people a real rationale for voting in the fall for three reasons.
The first, of course, is that a Trump victory would be a disaster for everything Democrats hold dear. Here's a short list -- democracy, economic justice, social justice and justice. That leaves out a whole bunch -- for instance, providing health care for all Americans and global warming. Stuff like that.
Secondly, between now and November, Trump and the Republicans will do everything they can to cheat. That means using every tool possible to suppress votes, including a full court press to prevent vote-by-mail, even if we are still deep in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Third, if Trump loses a close election, he may very well refuse to leave."
