7. I get you, but I still think after what we have had for 4 years people have PTSD. No kidding.

I believe Joe's administration will responsibly deal with what Trump has done. I think there will be prosecutions. (There better be.) I think we will be informed about the slime that has gone on for 4 years under that slob.

But I think Joe personally has to take an FDR approach to this. Everything needs to be about problem solving, and every statement needs to be couched in a "here's what we're doing to fix it and here's what you can do to help" format.

We need a leader who is relentlessly positive.

That should be left to other members of his administration. He should not be negative. Squinch Nov 2020 #1
Leveling with America on where we're at is not being negative. Its the one thing Putin's Whore would uponit7771 Nov 2020 #4
