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.
Yes it does suck. I didn’t say it was perfect, or that I was a fan.
But our healthcare system works very well for most people. Acting like it doesn’t work for some people is just ridiculous.
IDK if this guy is a troll or has never been poor.
I have been very poor. Idk why you guys keep harping on being poor. Most Americans are not poor.

So sure, ‘most’ in the technical sense in that more people are not under medical debt than are. But ‘works’ is questionable even for those who aren’t.
“In a truly democratic system, the US would have a decent and cheaper healthcare system”
I was responding to the OP.
I’ll just say it again and leave it at that: you need to spend some time in other countries. Not at a tourist, but as a resident. Your eyes need to be opened.
I have better healthcare than people in the countries I have visited.
This sentence is not accurate for all Americans.
Right. And you are only looking at things vs how they compare specifically to you. Thus, your eyes need to be opened.
Do you think youve in anyway shown we don’t live in a democracy?
I think you’re replying to the wrong person.
I’m pretty sure I’m not. I followed the thread. Maybe you are
shrug Alright then…
I’m still not convinced that “our healthcare could be better for a minority of people, so we obviously aren’t in a democracy”
