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.
To the contrary, many of us fight against American imperialism, in both its economic and military forms. Don’t expect us to just bow to a different imperial master though, that’s not equality. Just subjugation under a different master.
edit to fix a word
what other imperial master lmao
There’s a lot of them. Unless you’re a conspiracy theorist anyway.
You sound like the one with the grand conspiracy lol
Really? By acknowledging the world has multiple powers that exist on it? I think you can see that just from looking at a map.
Yeah, it’s the whole “oh those asian dictators are just waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces” vibe that sort of talk gives off just rubs me the wrong way 🤔
… I mean, you think they’re just better than us?
No, but if you think we’re better than them in any way that’s probably just chauvinism and propaganda.
Agreed. We are not better in any way. We’re only as good as we can stay loyal to our principles of freedom and equality, which is a big struggle for us.
