    Hey Biden, stop treating Trump like an opposing candidate and treat him like the insurrectionist that he is.

      I understand the sentiment, but it’s not really Biden’s job to do that. The justice system has utterly failed us, but having the president decide who is and isn’t an insurrectionist probably isn’t a great idea.

        It is his job to promote himself as a candidate and point out his opponents flaws, like being an insurrectionist who can’t stay awake at his own criminal trials.

        If the justice system has failed and the insurrectionist is on the verge of winning, the risk is not making some sort of change.

      He is challenging Trump to a debate that he won’t accept. He’s doing exactly as he should while the justice system isn’t doing its job.

      This is how I would start every answer:

      “I will address the problem according to the will of the people. I will abide by the votes cast and counted. I will protect people’s voices and their rights. Democracy is my highest concern and we should do everything to protect it against people who would rather storm the capitol and kill their own elected officials.”

      Or something.
