I agree. Biden needs to pretty much go around the media on this--do as much as he can to try and talk to the voters directly.
I like it b/c it's kind of a double win for Biden if he pulls it off. It undercuts the idea that he is feeble and confused because he is the one pushing for a debate. And it undercuts the idea that Trump is some sort of tough guy b/c Trump is the one ducking it.
Of course, the Trump handlers will make some totally unreasonable demands like having Joe Rogan moderate or something, and then they will blame Biden's people for not agreeing to it. And the media will bothsides it.
But there's enough political upside here that I am glad Biden is trying.
