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.
Rings really hollow when the Democratic primaries are being cancelled in states like Florida where the Democrats are literally rigging their own elections to favour Biden.
You know the political parties are private organizations, right?
And? If Biden really cared about democracy as much as he says, then he’d come out against what’s happening in Florida and North Carolina even though the moves benefit him. Him not calling out the bs in his own party when there’s three other people running for the spot if you include Cenk Uygur makes this message of “I will uphold democracy” ring really hollow.
Private organizations or not, these are people who have spent the time, effort, and campaign funds to have a shot at being the Democratic nominee, and all this election has shown to date with nonsense like this is that there needs to be massive reforms to both the electoral process and how the media covers it. Williamson was polling about the same numbers on the Democratic side as Haley has been with Republicans, and she’s been getting zilch from the media in comparison despite the fact that Biden isn’t even on the New Hampshire ballot (which that in itself, is an issue).
