President Biden Full Speech on Democracy

President Biden delivered remarks on democracy in a speech from Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, PA. Included in his remarks:

"We must be honest with each other and with ourselves. Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic."

"I believe America is at an inflection point. One of those moments that determine the shape of everything that's to come after. And now, America must choose to move forward or to move backwards. To build a future or obsess about the past."

"Tonight I'm asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy, regardless of your ideology."

You made the mistake of panning the camera around to show the REAL size of the audience....

Look at that crowd of people. It looks like they could all fit into one city bus!!!

Just remember, the constitution is not protected by politicians but the constitution PROTECTS us from politicians. Therefore it is our common duty to protect it from them!

Kudos for the team in Transylvania that designed the background. I expected to see a vampire bat or two to swoop by.

I remember the horror I felt when I first saw this.

Jesus...ironic that this guy is supposedly talking about "saving democracy" when in reality it looks and sounds more like Emperor Palpatine from Return of the Jedi speaking to his Empire.

[rustyshackleford]

This is the reason we have a Constitution

I wish he talked about the new 87 thousand IRS agents and what there job responsibilities are.

[travishall]

I cant believe he used Marines like that

[racciacrack]

The foreboding red lighting and shadowy figures might not have been the best PR choice.

[agustincastaneda]

More Americans are working “more than ever” because they need at least three jobs to sustain themselves 🤦🏽‍♂️

[jaybeam]

Gee I wonder why someone thought they needed to do the unthinkable?

Reminds me of a famous austrian painter
