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.

    Let’s never forget that Trump never would have been President if it wasn’t for Genocide Joe riding Israel’s coat-tails directly into hell. I hope beyond hope that he’ll be still alive to stand trial for this when things turn right again.

      Never forget that thousands and thousands of dipshits canvassed the Internet pretending to be leftists but taking actions which led to Donald Trump destroying America forever. Fuck every single one of those cunts.

        Yeah why blame a handful of politicians for being genocidal, when you can blame thousands of voters for not voting for genocide? It just makes sense.

          You voted strongly for genocide. Deny it all you want. You voted for harder genocide and you begged others to as well. History will never honor your fake moralizing.

            I’m still not American, and you’re still wrong. Voting for 99% Hitler is still an evil act, even in a two party system where the other candidate is 100% Hitler. At that point your only principled position is to take action outside of the two-party system, by voting third party - and/or, even better - beyond electoralism altogether.
