Inasmuch as some are claiming that Biden has disappeared or is doing nothing, I'll post this again:

Biden plans shadow coronavirus briefings

The ex-veep said they’re necessary to address false and misleading statements from the president.

Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump.

Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.

“President Trump stop saying false things, will ya?” Biden said. “People are worried they are really frightened, when these things don't come through. He just exacerbates their concern. Stop saying false things you think make you sound like a hero and start putting the full weight of the federal government behind finding fast, safe and effective treatments.”

Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.

1. Who's claiming he's disappeared? Seems he's been pretty damned Presidential for...

the past month or so.

[TwilightZone]

3. It's a meme being spread by Sanders supporters.

It's been posted numerous times on DU today.

The OP is being sarcastic.

[NurseJackie]

12. You're being too kind. It's not just a "meme"... it's a vicious "scorched-earth" lie that is

You're being too kind. It's not just a "meme"... it's a vicious "scorched-earth" lie that is attempting to kneecap Biden.

What good purpose does it serve? It only divides us. It only created distrust and resentment. It creates nothing but negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

[TwilightZone]

16. Can't argue with any of that.

These are the people Biden is supposed to pander to, apparently. Maybe they should just grow the hell up.

[George II]

4. It's been all over "social media" and even here in a few posts. It's far from the truth.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. For the sake of this nation and democracy

Bernie has to quit, and immediately get vocal to his supporters to go with Biden.

I am sad to say that I lose more respect for Bernie each and every day.

He, Warren, and others have good thinking, there is no question.

But now is not the time for idealism that, in reality, would be currently un-obtainable....

The Dems continue down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and are
oblivious to the herd of charging elephants........

[warmfeet]

11. Yes indeed.

Focus on the big picture. Unity against "he who must not be named."

[Hekate]

18. It's been all over DU for more than a week

Then when you call people on it they whine that they (and their hero) are being mercilessly attacked without cause.

.

[TreasonousBastard]

21. OK, but somehow I'm still seeing juries for anti-Bernie posts under the Don't Attack...

Democrats label while I don't seem to see any alerts when the Bernistas attack Biden.

Isn't that a little backwards?

[Hekate]

26. They are very sensitive people who believe the rest of us need to bend over backwards...

...to court their votes. Meanwhile I think a lot of the rest of us have entered the eye-rolling stage--and maybe that reflects in the ratio of alerts.

Yes, that's a little backwards.

[Cha]

2. Thank you! Some need to let this SINK IN.. and NOT

spread FALSE MEMES.

[Amaryllis]

5. Thank you. I was trying to find that info. HAve read on DU that he is doing nothing.

[Cha]

6. They have a "meme" and they're grasping

onto it.. like it actually means anything.

[William769]

7. Kick & recommended.

[NCProgressive]

8. Excellent ... the bros were making #whereisbiden trend on twitter

[B Stieg]

10. Yeah. "Look at the scoreboard," BBros!

Benie be done!

[Thekaspervote]

13. Post and repost!! Thank you.. it needs to said however many times... it's nonsense

[UncleNoel]

14. Kick!

[PolarPop]

15. He needs to be out there more.

He needs to be SEEN, every day, reassuring the public and going after Trump.

Trumps approval rating has never been higher and they’re robbing this country blind watching people get sick.

Joe needs to get after him.

[Hekate]

19. Pray tell us how Biden is supposed to get the free air time every day that Trump...

...can get by snapping his fingers.

Or are you talking about Biden going out in public, shaking hands and kissing babies? Or what?

Go back and read the OP all the way thru. Biden's busy. Very busy.

[PolarPop]

22. It's called the internet

He’s got 1.7 million followers on Facebook, and 4.5 million on Twitter.

Everyone and their mother knows how to do a live video. I would think the campaign could figure it out.

He’s also the presumptive nominee... if he holds a press conference the media WILL show up.

[Hekate]

27. Once again: Biden is addressing the issues of the day, especially the pandemic. He has a virtual...

...shadow government and shadow response team in the works. Every time he addresses the camera he looks more presidential. His house is being retrofitted to engage in these activities, so that he can practice social distancing and still have conferences, give speeches, press conferences, videos -- all of the normal activities of a campaign minus shaking hands, hugging adults, and kissing babies.

This info has been available at DU, and since our sources are reputable news agencies, that means this info is Out There.

Why do I get the feeling you changed the goal posts?

[catsudon]

32. i agree with you

look at it from the view of avg Americans who have no tv and is online

cnn: pictures of overload plus other governors
youtube: all news conferee as they happens with overlord and governors, rarely seen, biden or bernie


no wonder cuomo is becoming so popular

[TwilightZone]

23. "Trumps approval rating has never been higher" - False.

False. It's within a point or two of where it's been for 18 months and down about a point from where it was a month ago.

[PolarPop]

24. Then why do they keep saying he's above 50%

For the first time?

[Turin_C3PO]

28. That poll

was approval of his handling of this crisis. Not his overall approval rating.

[PolarPop]

29. Okay, I stand corrected then, however

Seeing as how that is on the minds of every single person in the world, all the more reason Joe should be out there every day.

[ehrnst]

31. Out where every day?

Twitter? Facebook?

[catsudon]

33. uh

i mention at least picture on front of YouTube/cnn
the benchmark is more often than the governors, goal is same as orange.

[ehrnst]

34. I have no idea what you meant by this post.

Seriously.

[emmaverybo]

30. He has been, consistently and persistently. Always surprised when people don't follow Joe, but

talk about what he should do—when he is doing it already.

[Beartracks]

17. Do people think he's hiding because he hasn't personally stopped by their house??

=========

[Hekate]

20. Apparently so

It's a fairly stupid meme

[ehrnst]

35. Or a need to bash him in any way possible

without facts, this may be all they have.

[we can do it]

25. BS is the no-show.

Sick and tired of the BS.

[Gothmog]
