The President of the United States has the most powerful and effective bully pulpit on the planet. Unfortunately, despite the threats to our Democracy, Biden has failed to use it.
While he has been praised for his State of Union address, he has, to date, passed on the opportunity to confront major issues by speaking to the nation. As a result, crises such as immigration at the Southern Border and the current upheaval on college campuses have left the impression that our country is out of control. Such negligence only fuels the effectiveness of MAGA propaganda.
Facing a national election in six months, it is time for Biden to use his bully pulpit to directly explain his Administration's positions and policies. Leaving that vital job to the "news media," much of which comes in the form of online disinformation, will only benefit the enemies of Democracy.
