I have a sister who is vaguely liberal but not very politically active. She can tell Trump is a bozo and has good instincts, just isn't very interested in politics. Out of nowhere yesterday she said, "I wish Andrew Cuomo could be president, I don't think Joe Biden is up to it."

This tells me a couple of things:
1.) Regular people are ready to be energized by literally anyone who can go on TV and be even a little bit competent with the right amount of fire-in-the-belly indignation. My sister had no idea who Andrew Cuomo was like two weeks ago.

2.) Joe Biden's "hide and hope no one notices" act is unsettling, even to people who are only barely paying attention.

3.) Progressives have a major obstacle which is that most MSM won't cover a random AOC press conference, but there should be major thought/effort going in to how to get progressive voices on TV as much as possible.

4.) Senate democrats should convene a press conference everyday to follow the COVID-19 "task force" TV show. They should include their most articulate/charismatic/progressive voices. Create a few viral moments. Call Mitch Mcconnell a bitch. Whatever.
