That local news is unable to form an opinion that the Joe Biden Campaign proves the Democrat Party has zero regard for the original purpose for which people form government...just maintaining the radical equality status quo where nonsense if just as equal as logic or nonsense will shout logic off the stage.

I have never been exactly what you would call a Trump supporter, but one thing I observed about his original campaign was that they really knew how to leverage social media to their overwhelming benefit. My thought is that this is Joe trying to leverage social media. But, what he doesn't realize is that you don't leverage it with pictures, you leverage it by firing from the hip on social media and providing successively hotter takes.
Further, I anticipate that the Trump campaign will have difficulty leveraging social media again. There are a lot of outspoken die-hard Trump supporters, but most people who were influenced to vote for him were influenced by social media. If Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and all the rest have a story to tell, it's that your 15 minutes of fame only happen once.
Trump has had his true 15 minutes of fame back in 2016, and I foresee that it will be much more difficult to generate the level of energy and the culture that surrounded his 2016 election to the Presidency. I'm not opining, I'm simply analysing and reporting what I am seeing on the ground as a (relatively) young bloke who's (begrudgingly) in touch with the general social media climate, and the nuts and bolts and culture of how social media works. You can only get that energy up once, you cannot repeat it, that is how social media operates.
The long and short of it is this: this will be a an incredibly interesting election season. With the Coronavirus panic currently on at the traditional beginning of all-out electioneering, I'd say that this will be the most interesting presidential election of all of our lifetimes, whether you're in your 80's or if you've just turned 18. And, as the Chinese proverb-cum-curse goes, "may you live in interesting times".
Besides, Joe calls this an avatar generator. I've been on the net for over 15 years; I remember the pre-56k modem days, and the days when US Robotics made the top-of-the-line PCI modem card here in America, and nobody has called them avatars for about a decade or so. Except for forums which were established back in the mid-late 90's, a couple of which I am a member and happy financial supporter thereof. If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will.
