President Joe Biden officially announced Tuesday morning he's running for re-election in 2024 and seeking a second four-year term in the White House. As usual, "democracy" was a big theme of a video published by the campaign.
Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.

There's already a major problem. While Biden touts democracy, he isn't actually engaging in the principle and neither is the Democratic National Committee. There will be no Democratic primary debates, despite Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issuing challenges against Biden for the nomination.

I have known and liked Joe Biden for many years, but we differ profoundly on fundamental issues such as corporate influence in government, censorship, civil liberties, poverty, corruption, and war policy, among others. I look forward to engaging him in debates and town hall…

STATEMENT FROM MARIANNE WILLIAMSON ON JOE BIDEN'S 2024 CAMPAIGN LAUNCH:
For those of us committed to Democrats winning the White House in 2024, the president’s campaign announcement today was concerning.
His remark that he has fought so…
Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who bucked the DNC establishment as a candidate and eventually left the party, is weighing in.
When I ran for Pres in 2020 the debates were rigged but in a subtle way. Preferred candidates were given more time and fed softball questions. This time Democrats are taking no chances so there will be no primary debates. This is another example of their disdain/disrespect for… pic.twitter.com/CUSlt52BLq
