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.

    My plan is we elect Joe Biden, he provokes world war 3 while maintaining a peacetime economy, the economy collapses, biden loses to trump (who then dies of Ozempic side effects) and a civil war is fought by patriots attempting to get his running mate George Santos into the white house. The survivors get to fight in the water wars 20 years later.

    The rest of the world moves on and tries to forget the nightmare that was America.

      Remember how in the other comment you claimed I was insulting you when I said you didn’t care if a bunch of people died?

      Yeah…

          Narcissism is not a disability, it is a mental illness. There is a difference. Disabilities mean there are things in normal society you are not able to do without assistance. Narcissists don’t have that problem.

          So no, I was not being ableist. I didn’t even say you were a narcissist.

          But I’m glad we have you pegged down for “enjoying masses of innocent people dying.” That means you’ve lost every argument by being as bad as anyone genocidal yourself. Thanks for that!

            You’re just accusing me of having a mental illness as if that would invalidate any argument I have- which I’m pretty sure is just ad hominin.

              No, I did not accuse you of it. Please re-read my post.

              Also, it’s ‘ad hominem.’ A hominin is a member of genus homo, of which, I assume, you are one.

            It’s so funny how you can be such a fervent supporter of people genociding Palestinians, right now, and still feel so righteous calling your straw political enemies genocidal.

            I don’t enjoy seeing masses of people dying that’s why I’m so pissed off at America in the first place.

              Please quote me supporting the genocide of Palestinians. Or was that a lie?

                You’re replying to me buttmad in a thread where I’m shitting on the democrats for their support of genocide. Do you support the Democrats?

                  I’m not going to answer your questions until you show me evidence to support your claim. Unless you admit you were lying.

                    It’s okay I can read I know you do, that’s why I’m putting every fucking dead Palestinian at their feet in November.
