Now that Joe Biden emerged from his basement to accept his party's nomination for president, it's well past time for him to remain out of hiding and open himself up to questions as the campaign enters its final stretch.
Hiding allows Biden to make sure that the race remains a referendum on Trump without allowing the ability to consider his own weaknesses.
On the other hand, as time goes on, voters may wonder whether Biden is prepared to withstand the rigors of the presidency if he's unable to even campaign.
Trump will continue to sow doubts about his mental acuity, and an out-of-practice Biden could find himself rusty and unprepared for the debates, proving his point.
Whatever the political arguments for or against Biden coming out of hiding, it is undoubtedly that the public deserves more from Biden.
How will any sort of national mask mandate be enforced? As we're having a national conversation about overpolicing, do we want to get police officers involved in ensuring compliance, leading to more interactions that could cause potential conflict? What will he do to make sure there isn't racial bias in imposing the mandate? What if people cannot afford masks, will there be a fund to finance them and a system for distribution? And where did Biden come up with his estimate that 40,000 lives would be saved were this draconian mask requirement imposed?
It's long past time for him to start taking questions.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
