Both the president and his reelection campaign are going after his coup-attempting predecessor even before the first GOP primary ballots are cast.

A full year out from the 2024 presidential election and nearly two months before Republicans cast their first primary ballots, President Joe Biden and his campaign are assuming that Donald Trump will be his opponent and have already started reminding voters why they threw him out of office in the first place.

Biden personally has stepped up criticism of his coup-attempting predecessor and is framing the likely rematch as one that will determine the survival of American democracy.

“The same man who said we should terminate the rules and regulations and articles of the Constitution — these are things he said — is now running on a plan to end democracy as we know it,” he said last week at a fundraiser in Chicago.

“This next election is different. It’s more important. There’s more at stake. And we all know why: Because our very democracy is at stake,” he told a San Francisco audience on Wednesday.

    Characterizing opposition to genocide as “the status quo offends me” really tells me a lot about you.

    Supporting Israel as it commits genocide is and has literally been the status quo for the past thirty fucking years. Saying that it’s not says a lot more about your awareness of politics and the world around you than it does me.

    As for taking illegal action, why officer, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I would never do anything like that - I was just giving an example, I didn’t mean to imply I endorse or encourage any kinds of illegal activity. We should all be good citizens and not break laws. 🙂

    Illegal action against the system. No, petty vandalism doesn’t count. Put up or shut up.
