Is saving democracy a priority for this Administration or not? Rightwing zealots are systematically dismantling our democratic institutions. I don't want to see some tepid public statement. We need to see the President and VP using the full force of their bully pulpit to lead.
This is what legislatively successful presidents do!
Obama did a live debate with House GOP on the ACA.
Clinton gave 18 speeches on NAFTA and deputized Gore to debate Ross Perot on it.
Trump and GW Bush were all tax cuts all the time.
Where is Biden on saving our democracy??

I hope Joe Biden cares about saving our democracy as much as Bill Clinton cared about NAFTA. As much Barack Obama cared about the Affordable Care Act. As much as every Republican president cares about tax cuts for their donors.
Outside the White House, we're all hands on deck. The Speaker of House has been unrelenting. The Senate Majority Leader says "failure is not an option."

Democracy is under threat. Fascism is rising. Time is running out. It's time for the President to get off the sidelines and into the game, or we're all going to lose. /end
