Biden/Harris/Dems need to drum this message more forcefully and directly, do outdoor events, etc.

Trump is the president, he is the source of the chaos and revels in it, he bungled the Covid response. The ashes are smoldering and the bodybags are piling up in this country because of Trump alone. Be graphic and direct. Biden/Harris will bring calm, order and prosperity.
