ā€œThe guy is not a democrat with a small d,ā€ the president told CNNā€™s Erin Burnett.

PresidentĀ Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certainĀ Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump ā€œdangerousā€ for the nation.

ā€œThe guy is not a democrat with a small d,ā€ Biden toldĀ CNNā€™s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.

ā€œHow many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? Theyā€™ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. ā€¦ HeĀ mayĀ not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he wonā€™t. Which is dangerous.ā€

The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trumpā€™s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.

      Yeah thats not what their comment described.

      The ā€˜lazy assholeā€™ in their metaphor is never coming to your aid. Theyā€™ll vote to call protestation against Israel hate speach before theyā€™ll ever consider reforming the system that keeps them in power. This is the solipsistic delusion Iā€™m highlighting. ALL of the evidence suggests that Democrats will maintain support a tyrannical Republican agenda before considering the kind of critical systematic introspection necessary to actually reform the system. Democrats are not interested in reform of a system that keeps them in power.

      The only place in which Democrats are a reform party is in the deluded minds of their aquarian sycophants. There is no external evidence to suggest that Democrats are a reform party, because at every given opportunity to do so, Democrats refuse. Its a Marvel-tier fantasy that the Democrats writ large are the heroes in this story.

        Holy shit Iā€™m sorry to make you write all that out. Iā€™m not sure what happened in my brain but it looked like your comment was a reply to a different comment.

        The problem is that a majority of those vocally supporting Biden canā€™t just be happy with people agreeing theyā€™ll vote for Biden over Trump, but they insist that people live in the fan-fiction fantasy land with them.
