“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN’s Erin Burnett.
President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certain Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump “dangerous” for the nation.
“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.
“How many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? They’ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. … He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t. Which is dangerous.”
The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trump’s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.
I think Biden could be a dragon slayer. He just has to have the gumption to do it. To a lot of progressives like myself, it feels like we are just giving up on the prospect of Biden doing better, as if that is not even an option anymore, and the people that are most prominently supporting that notion are the moderates right now.
The fact of the matter is we have a dragon problem, and it doesn’t seem like anyone is willing to fix it. We can’t just get eaten by the dragon.
I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem like people are frustrated enough that we have no dragon slayers. Perhaps we would have gotten one if people were this upset earlier.
I can’t agree with you more. This situation really sucks. And I truly believe we deserve better. But a lot of the people and their sock puppets here aren’t doing anyone any favors by suggesting we stay home and let this play out without any influence from those that would like to have things like body autonomy, LGBTQ+ rights. Environmental protection, etc.
And it is my belief that these people that suggest we don’t vote, are doing so in absolute bad faith. It is widely known, and proven that non votes favor Trump. This isn’t debatable.
These people know it. And IF Trump wins 2024, I guarantee you- they’ll all vanish immediately.
It’s happened before.
