Does the Biden Campaign know this. They dont seem to know how to connect. Biden is my age but I know this way of communicating but he does not seem to. He is the best president we could have in these years after Trump but he needs to know this stuff you are writing about.

I live in a rural town filled with working class boomers who *hate* the power corporations have over our society and government.
