Yes, each issue needs to be addressed with clear possible solutions. Could the discussion of each issue , like agriculture, be covered exclusively for a number of days giving the media no other talking points. Then move to the next issue with extensive coverage. Voters want to learn HOW the problems that we all agree on can begin to be solved.

Also, emphasis must be on a Congress that can do the work of finding compromise. The Congress is the where the action happens!!

"Giving the media no other talking points."

Great idea - except it seems to me the media make up their OWN talking points. See the coverage of Joe's "dementia" - and the bare mention of trump's insanity. Agriculture's not very exciting - who clicks on farm stock prices? But a pimple on Kamala's nose? Now THAT'S a whole different story. . .

I read today in the Substack What Did Joe Biden Do Today, that a meeting was convened with the Dept. of Agriculture, the EPA and other stakeholders to discuss how to support farmers, ranchers and foresters in using green methods to do their work.

I am not reading about this elsewhere though. Again, corporate media fails us.
