Gentleman for reminding us what proposals on the other side might entail and political games being played are not necessary in todays environment. These are real people. These are seniors.

If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for joe biden like our lives depend on it. Like our lives depend on it. That was the direct argument, and democrats are not shy about fortifying that dire case with actual americans who see the trump era as a life or death issue.
