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.

    Just for a potential acquiesce, most young people conflate conservative/boomers to the mindset, not the age range. It doesn’t matter if genx is conservative, they’re boomers. It’s an unfortunate conflation but it’s the reality given that such a high percentage of people hold those politics.

    It is funny, since the boomers were also the hippie flower generation. Which is why it’s sad that so many are also simping for fascism.
