@Brand X,
Biden's in a difficult position right now and Max Blumenthal's tweet fails to convey the precariousness of the situation. For one thing, he's not yet the Democratic nominee and acting as if he were already the candidate would be presumptuous. But more importantly, he shouldn't be seen as "politicizing" a serious issue and using an unprecedented national emergency as a way of scoring political "points". He needs to walk a delicate line, pointing out what the president has done or not done, telling us how he would be handling the crisis differently, but not saying things which the opposition can use to accuse him of undermining the national effort or demoralizing the population. While some aspects of this story are developing from hour to hour, putting together a strategic
political response is bound to take longer. I think it's worth Biden's time to work on getting this right.
