With the Trump gang on a rampage to destroy democratic structures, the last thing we need is Democratic Party leaders looking backward and touting Joe Biden as a guiding light for the future.

But this month, NBC News reports, Biden “has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground.”

In response, a new vice chair of the Democratic National Committee said: “If you were to call any state party chair and ask them if they wanted Joe Biden to be a keynote speaker for their annual dinner, the answer would be yes.”

But when a CNN poll recently asked Democratic voters “which one person best reflects the core values of the Democratic Party,” only 1 percent chose Biden.

The claim that Biden should keynote upcoming Democratic Party events is not just tone-deaf –– it’s also part of an approach that threatens to undermine future prospects for defeating MAGA Republicans.

Please take a minute now to send an email to your Democratic member(s) of Congress, telling them to go all-out to block the extreme Republican agenda.

“With his frequent zeal for compromising with Republican politicians and his routinely feeble opposition to them, Biden could hardly be less of a model for what the Democratic Party and the country now desperately need,” RootsAction national director Norman Solomon wrote in an article published by The Hill last week.

The piece added: “All this matters now because the Democratic Party’s leadership will need to stop pretending about the past in order to chart a viable path toward regaining power. But the leadership has shown few signs of recognizing why Democrats lost so much support from voters during the Biden presidency.”

Be among constituents telling congressional Democrats that their party must decisively turn away from timid “leadership,” clearly put working-class interests above billionaire interests, and emphatically fight the Republicans at every turn –– because democracy is truly at stake.
