LondonInvoking the spirit of the founders of the American nation, from Montgomery County, near Valley Forge, one of George Washington’s headquarters during the War of Independence against England, Joe Biden, 81, has warned voters this Friday that the future of American democracy is at stake in the elections of November 5th. “Democracy is at the polls. Today we are here to answer the most important question: is democracy still the sacred cause of the United States?”, he said with a much more energetic and confident tone than in other interventions, in the same time that has asserted that the Republicans have “abandoned our democracy”.
The biggest political show on the planet, the elections in the United States, has unofficially begun, when the Democratic president has landed in Pennsylvania to carry out the first electoral event of the 2024 race for the White House, which will be held in nine days the Republican caucuses of Iowa, the starting point of the campaign, which has already been heating engines for months. And he immediately went to the barracks: “Trump’s attack on democracy is not only part of his past. It is what he promises for the future. He does not hide from it. The first rally for the 2024 campaign he opened it with a choir of January 6th rioters singing from prison, through cellphones, as he projected images of the January 6th riot. Can you believe it? It was like a fairy tale, an evil fairy tale”.
Biden begins a year in which any of his famous slips could be ammunition for his great rival and, from this point of view, the intervention has passed the test with a good enough note, given the antecedents of the aspirant reelection The ten months ahead of him, however, will be very long until Tuesday, November 5, when Americans will decide not only the future of the country but also that of the liberal democracy that governs the Western world.
Condemnation of violence
Not shying away from the melee, the president has focused the entire intervention on the values at stake of US democracy, which Trump put at risk with the coup attempt on January 6, 2021. “Listen- me clearly – shouted Biden -: I will say what Donald Trump will not say. Political violence is never, never acceptable in the political system of the United States, never, never, never! It has no place in a democracy, at all. And a by trying to rewrite the events of January 6, Trump is trying to steal history, just as he tried to steal the election. But we knew the truth because we saw it with our own eyes.”
Trump, however, not only does not hide from his performance, but has even boasted that he will act as a dictator; yes, only the “first day” of his new presidency, if he gets there, pledging to investigate, imprison and take revenge on his political opponents, as he said in an interview with Sean Hannity, on Fox News, in early December Biden, in fact, has also explicitly referred to these words.
Greeted with shouts of “Four more years!” and fired as he waved from the stage with his wife, Jill, Biden recalled: “After everything we’ve been through in our history, from independence to civil war, two world wars, a pandemic and an insurrection, I refuse to believe that in 2024 Americans will choose to walk away from what has made us the greatest nation in the history of the world: freedom, freedom.”
