Biden slams Trump as ‘willing to sacrifice democracy’ in Jan 6 anniversary speech

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're literally sealioning trying to goad me when my position is that I'm fucking pissed at the genocide

Nope. Your position was that I support that genocide. Which you have yet to prove.

You already said you plan to vote for one of the shitty people who all suddenly forgot the word "ceasefire"

Nope. I didn't say who I planned to vote for. That is a lie.

Can you point me towards a mainstream political candidate calling for a ceasefire (exact words only) in Gaza?
