Mr Biden’s speech is his first major campaign event of the 2024 election season
President Joe Biden marked the third anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol by warning that the issue of American democracy will be “what the 2024 election is all about,” as he runs against former president Donald Trump once more.
Mr Biden, who spoke near the Valley Forge historical site where George Washington and the Continental Army were encamped during the winter of 1777 and 1778, told attendees that they were there “to answer the most important of questions: Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?”
“This isn’t rhetorical, academic, or hypothetical. Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time,” he said.
Mr Biden said his speech, his first major event of the 2024 election season, was “deadly serious,” and about a topic that needed to be raised at the outset of his campaign.
I think Biden understands the threat of Trump, but he also understands that screaming at people isn’t going to be effective at convincing them.
There’s probably a lot of people that would reject the statement of “TRUMP IS TRYING TO DESTROY DEMOCRACY!” but may be receptive to the message that Trump is “willing to sacrifice democracy.” And yeah, anyone that doesn’t already understand what Trump is trying to is an idiot, but Biden needs idiots to vote for him just as much as the people that understand the consequences of another Trump Presidency. But Biden already has the votes from the people that understand the threat Trump poses.
He shouldn’t be yelling at anyone. He should’ve been quietly working behind the scenes to get the FBI rolling on all investigations and gotten his piece of shit AG to get the ball rolling, too. Instead, the FBI sat on its ass allowing investigations to sit undone and Trump kept merrily showing off top secret docs…
Trump IS an exception. There IS NO PRECIDENT TO SET by prosecuting him properly. Criminals should not be treated special just because they were a politician. That is beyond pathetic of any country.
We literally mock other countries that do this kind of pussyfooting double standard shit.
Trump is currently being prosecuted in two federal cases. What do you want? For him to be prosecuted without a trial?
For this shit show tp have gotten started ASAP. It’s not like it was unclear on Jan 6th what was happening. The fact he’s still LITERALLY FREE three years later is fucking hilarious to defend regardless of what lazy pathetic atfemp has been made.
There is no precedent to set. A fucking criminal already cannot be the president.
The Democrats treating the rise of fascism as if it isn’t a blatant affront to the constitution itself is fucking pathetic. This country is pathetic when the enemy has white skin and citizenship. There’s zero hezitation with any other citizen.
