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.
I plan to vote for whoever is most likely to win and least likely to turn the U.S. into a place where my queer daughter’s life is at risk.
Maybe you don’t care about queer kids and their lives. I do. Especially my daughter’s.
I’m trans, and I do fucking care about queer kids and our lives. Which is why I’m sick of terrible fucking allies that will use our persecution by our own fucking government to excuse THE SAME FUCKING GOVERNMENT using its military to enable a fucking genocide on the other side of the world.
I don’t really care if you claim to be trans when you are claiming there is no difference between the two main candidates. There is a clear difference when it comes to queer people and if you care so much about queer kids, you name the candidate that has an actual chance of winning that I should vote for. Because otherwise why in the everlasting fuck would I even contemplate being complicit in the overtly homophobic people who are working hard at oppressing queer people getting into office?
But hey, Caitlyn Jenner is trans too. Apparently being trans doesn’t actually mean you give a shit about queer people.
Great allyship, 10/10
You didn’t name the candidate or explain why I shouldn’t be complicit. Got it. You are tacitly admitting you want my daughter and other queer kids to die. Thanks for the admission. Goodbye.
I admit nothing of the sort, you should be embarrassed for hiding behind your child.
circling back to this, it’s incredible the nerve you have to roll up, refuse to answer any questions beyond insisting that you have a
black friendqueer daughter, imply that I’m “claiming” to be trans (it’s literally just my life I’m sorry if you’re not used to dealing with minorities), and then go on to gatekeep “actually giving a shit about queer people” behind unconditional support for the people enabling a genocide in the here and now. I’m assuming you’re cis, just going off of how you felt the need to use someone elses queerness to excuse your actions.cool stuff
