In a rare public address, former president said US is experiencing ‘dark days’ and urged Americans to vote

Joe Biden has warned that his presidential successor, Donald Trump, will attempt to “steal” the midterm elections, in a rare public address.

Speaking in South Carolina, where he was being honored for his lifetime achievement in politics, Biden also asserted that the US is experiencing “dark days”, in a speech made hours before the Trump administration launched attacks on Iran.

Reprising a line from the 2020 campaign that saw him defeat Trump and end Trump’s first presidency, Biden told the crowd at the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday that the “battle for the soul of this nation is one that’s never really over”. He simultaneously criticized Trump’s plan to introduce potentially prohibitive voting requirements ahead of the midterms.

    And you don’t think trump being behind bars at the time would do nothing to those voters?

    Look, I’d love to live in your fantasy world where its enough to say “its hard uwu” and do nothing.

    But biden failed to protect my trans brothers and sisters by making sure him, and everyone one around him, never saw freedom again. But he didn’t and no were here.

    Here’s the thing. The rest of the world no longer fucking cares. Canadians here are stronger than our government on fuck the US.

    Your not voting your way out of this. Because even if you do somehow in November, the rest of the world no longer cares to trust y’all again. One way or another, allowing him to even be a candidate was mistake. And until it all burns and is replaced, y’all will never be trusted again.

      You can get as mad as you want but I stand by my point that allowing the ruling party to execute or jail their opposition is a very bad idea.

        And all I’m saying is standing by that is standing by all the death and destruction that follows. You can deny that all you want. But its never going to go back to stays quo.

            Don’t y’all have the second amendment for this exact purpose?

            Congratulations. You got a dictator again. The last king y’all saw you burned the system down and started fresh.

            Why not that?

                  I’ve seen the US military against Iran and Venezuela and I know I don’t have that kind of firepower.

                  It’d be suicide to attempt your ideas.

                    Why is it a Canadians job how to come up with ways to get yourselves out?

                    Especially when you have resigned yourselves to fascism.

                    Like I said, I don’t care if y’all nuke yourselves for all I care at this point. But no one is coming to save you.
