The problem for Biden is this BLM protests all over the country
If he takes a simplistic law an order position people will see that as a second class version of Trump
no matter what he says
BLM is losing popularity because it goes on and on endlessly and is tiring people.
Biden can't say he's all for the protests because most although many democrats sympathize with the idea of police reform and addressing racism they don't support vandalism, looting and the increasing potential for violence as militia groups and other counter protesters, some with rifles are showing up and the protests are getting increasingly chaotic. They also don't support some of the hard left positions of some of this hodgepodge of decentralized protest groups
Trump speaks about he protesters frequently
but Biden and the Democrats are not saying much about it.
Biden is going to have to speak about it more if he wants to win.
He will have to take a more complex position that he is for police reform and anti-racism but against abolishing police and tolerating vandalism. He is hardly a hard leftist and has taken heat by some liberals for being an advocate of the 1994 tough on crime bill. His VP was a prosecutor but because also regarded as black she will have a hard time also trying to figure out how to address the situation.
Trump is talking tough about it but these protests go on and on
Tonight , Aug 29 there were some chaotic protests in Washington D.C. also someone got shot and killed in a Portland protest.
However many voters may vote for rhetoric alone they like they sound of. It's almost as if there is this illusion that Trump is some new guy who if elected will come in and make changes,
but he's actually been running the country for the past 4 years
Biden may be waiting to see if the protests start to die down but they seems to easily get perked up every time some incident video goes down. It's a difficult problem for any president
Biden may also be waiting to see what happens after some college students go back to school and if it has any impact on slowing down the protests.

Biden CAN'T condemn the terrorists, as he would lose his voter base.
The democrats have embraced extremist insanity and are paying the price. Fortunately for us, the dems usually reveal their real agendas before elections.
I am going to watch MSNBC on election night to see the radicals melt down when Trump wins again. It was priceless in 2016.
Terrorism is defined as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"
A terrorist, is someone who engages in that activity.
Per the definition, the people that have been destroying cities and attacking people in the streets for months in an effort to push DNC policy and push for DNC candidates to be elected are terrorists.

Trump is talking tough because that is all he can do. He has offered help to the besieged cities and the Democrat elected shut him down. They want the riots to continue because they think it makes Trump look bad. Yes he has had nearly 4 years but he has to be careful with how he deals with the unruly mob. If he does nothing he is criticized by the Lefty media. If he sent in the troops and one brick throwing fire setting brat fell down and skinned his knee while running back to his mom's Trump would be criticized for violating that little darlings First Amendment Right.
As others have stated Biden can't vow to crack down on the violent protesters because they are his base especially since Bernie was tossed aside.
If Biden wins does anyone think the riots will just end?
If Trump was in charge of Portland does anyone think that CHAZ/CHOP would have been allowed to happen? He certainly would not have referred to it as a "street festival" or some kind of "Summer of Love"...
The Dems think that they are the answer to all the negative that Trump has done yet the Dems themselves are to blame for most of it.
The Dems are their own worse enemy.
