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.
You're viewing a single thread.
He says this while automatically assuming Marriane Williamson's run for the presidency is unnecessary. Yes, Biden will probably win against her, but Trump's not the only one undermining democracy even though Trump's actions are far worse than Biden's.
Marianne Williamson ought to run in the Republican primary.
She's got no less chance of winning.
There's no such thing as a definition of Republican anymore, so she might as well widen it further and in better directions.
There's plenty of people there who need to hear the more sensible parts of her message, and even more crazy ones who will be attracted to the loonier parts.
Yes let's blame the virtually powerless person no one knows the name of for undermining our democracy and not aging career politicians who have done nothing except enrich themselves through insider trading and backroom deals
I agree, she has no chance of winning, but it should still be confirmed. There have been no debates for the Democratic Primary and states like Massachusetts didn't even put her name on the ballot. This just makes Biden look like a cheater, which gives his future opponents more legitimacy when they falsely say "stolen election".
There's no reason any of this should be happening because it's such a slam dunk for Biden.
