They’re not airing the list lol. I mean “trump will read it” is a dead giveaway.

I doubt he’ll pass up the opportunity to close out every night.
And try to hold Melania’s hand.
It says they will broadcast the list AND then print it for him (which they won’t print it).
They will air them, as they have before, as that’s the only thing that people can validate.
They won’t print it, tho.
Hah. The compilation of her snubbing him was pretty good.

Nobody gives a shit about platforms in this elections.
I mean what has the Democratic platform been? Has Biden even proposed a detailed policy position?
The GOP is betting on a Trump cult of personality and voter suppression to win. Nothing else matters. Democrats are betting that enough people hate Trump to overcome voter suppression.
Everyone who cares about policy in a meaningful way is already voting for Biden. There is plenty of stuff for those people to mull over on Bidens website
https://joebiden.com/joes-vision/#
But that stuff is all pretty academic. This level of detail will be consumed almost entirely by left technocrats debating about adequacy and optimization of the policies.
It would really help Biden to pick a couple of specific themes and just hammer those with less engaged voters. Something like theme = stability, slogan = Joe’s Got Your Back, then just hammer a few loose policy points about better unemployment insurance, more investment in stuff that would have softened the blow of covid, and of course HEALTH CARE HEALTH CARE HEALTH CARE!!!
this shit is already starting?

See my other response. One of Hillarys fumbles was putting a bunch of stuff on a website and telling average schmoes to go read it. They need a simple bite size version for people that will spend 30 minutes deciding if they care enough to vote. What’s going to hook them?

Hate Trump all you want but he is perfect for the soundbite culture we live in. Simple statements for simple people with no details. Turns out that being a sleazy salesman with no convictions works for winning the presidency.

This isn’t the exclusive domain of charlatans though. Obama’s “Hope and Change” campaign is an example of how to do it from the left. Hillary’s “I’m With Her” (facepalm.jpg) is an example of how not to do it.

I like this, I also like making it even simpler and referencing the CARES Act. Joe Cares.
-
$4800 Stimulus Check to every American
-
$600/wk UI expansion until the pandemic is under control.
-
$600/wk essential worker bonuses until pandemic is under control.
-
Massively expanded rapid testing and contact tracing, mask mandate.
-
Minimum wage increase once pandemic is under control.

Make sure healthcare companies don’t price gouge in a pandemic, I’m not enough of a policy wonk to know the best method on this but there are a few.

All the “once the pandemic is under control” stuff will be based on some official metric, no need to pass additional bills.

“This will stimulate the economy and pay for itself. Besides, you can’t put a price tag on the health, safety or financial well being of the American people. The working class and middle class built this country, they’re the backbone of this economy, and we’re not going to hang them out to dry. I care too damn much to do that!”
