Biden's virtual rallies could use some star power.

I’m thinking that something more like One World: Together at Home would be helpful. I know that young people never vote but there are many A list celebrities in the correct demographic that could be helpful. It is called a political party.

At the current rate of the news cycle where about every week some new terrible racial incident or some Trump meltdown on twitter takes place, Biden having a star-studded anything to rally the vote would come and go in a flash and not have any lasting impact on election turnout. As politically-charged as things are, the General election is still 6 MONTHS away, who knows what kind of world-altering stupidity Trump could unleash between now and then.

At this point its perfectly reasonable for Biden to lie low, allow Trump to basically fuck himself on his handling of the Coronavirus, and then really ramp things up in the 1-3 months before election day. It would certainly be a better allocation of resources and have a better effect on influencing the electorate compared to making this a 6 month campaign.
