President Biden’s reelection campaign raised more than $1 million through online fundraising alone in the 24 hours after the president’s Jan. 6 anniversary speech, according to numbers exclusively provided to The Hill.

Biden on Friday gave a full throated attack against former President Trump, his likely GOP opponent, and warned Americans that Trump’s reelection would pose a threat to American democracy. The president zeroed in on Jan. 6 to mark the third anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riots and argued in his remarks that democracy is on the ballot in 2024.

In response to the 24-hour fundraising haul, the Biden campaign noted that they see preserving democracy as a political winner for the president in 2024.

I like Cornel West, too. Unfortunately, I don't know if the left being fractured as it usually is will be as little of an issue as it sometimes is. At the very least, Biden has a chance and he and his party (shitty as they are) are not actual fascists.

>he and his party (shitty as they are) are not actual fascists.

I disagree

You think Joe Biden and the Democratic Party of the US are fascists?

[-] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -1 points 5 months ago

oh, yes

[-] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

Well, that's an interesting opinion that I strongly disagree with, especially when you compare them to the GOP
