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.

    You sound radicalized, I’m sorry to say. It’s all the exaggerated language. Try to remember that every side uses propaganda, it’s not always all true.

      lmao you’re one to talk concern trolling about how trying to fix things is bad actually is also being a propagandist. For the people that literally don’t care if you live or die.

        You don’t sound like you’re trying to fix things. You sound like you’re trying to make things harder by increasing the amount of strife, which furthers the paralysis of the country.

          You don’t sound like you’re trying to fix things, you just sound like you’re rationalizing keeping the empire running because it keeps you and yours comfortable.

            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.

                There’s a lot of them. Unless you’re a conspiracy theorist anyway.

                    Really? By acknowledging the world has multiple powers that exist on it? I think you can see that just from looking at a map.
