President Joe Biden is arguing that “there is something dangerous happening in America” as he revives his warnings that Donald Trump and his allies represent an existential threat to the country’s democratic institutions.

There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA movement,” Biden says in excerpts of the speech Thursday in Arizona, released in advance by the White House, referring Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.

Although voting in the 2024 Republican primary doesn’t begin for months, Biden’s focus reflects Trump’s status as the undisputed frontrunner for his party’s nomination despite facing four indictments, two of them related to his attempts to overturn Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

      okay seriously prove your point. how has voting for these people changed anything

      didn’t trump lose the popular vote?

      did we vote to bail out the banks in 08 but leave us all to die?

      did we vote for the shitty covid response both candidates gave?

      the presidents are all basically the same fucking thing policy wise.

      Well voting isn’t going to actually get rid of these people. They’ll still be here after the election no matter who wins.

      Getting rid of them requires other action.

        Oh, I see. You want to start murdering people. Go ahead and start. I’m sure the rest of us will be right behind you.

          Only the ones that deserve it of course. We’re not monsters. Probably won’t need virtue signaling “liberals” (daily reminder that there are no leftists in power) or the fascist cult member dickheads that call themselves conservatives regardless though.

          I said no such thing!

          My enemies deserve the chance to be rehabilitated in work camps - so really what we need is to make the election irrelevant if you know what I mean.
