President Biden’s reelection campaign raised more than $1 million through online fundraising alone in the 24 hours after the president’s Jan. 6 anniversary speech, according to numbers exclusively provided to The Hill.

Biden on Friday gave a full throated attack against former President Trump, his likely GOP opponent, and warned Americans that Trump’s reelection would pose a threat to American democracy. The president zeroed in on Jan. 6 to mark the third anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riots and argued in his remarks that democracy is on the ballot in 2024.

In response to the 24-hour fundraising haul, the Biden campaign noted that they see preserving democracy as a political winner for the president in 2024.

    Is everyone losing their fucking minds? I’ll shove that plain toast up my fucking ass if it means my kids can keep waking up, going to school, and altogether living normal lives. Comfort apparently does breed contempt because nobody is really fighting for this shit. None of us were there before plumbing, before democracy, lets not fucking find out.

      Yeah. One party wants minorities crushed, women dead in childbirth, and Christianity to be law. The other kinda sucks. None of the above isn’t happening. The Dems won’t learn a lesson from losing but the gop sure will learn from winning

        >One party wants minorities crushed, women dead in childbirth, and Christianity to be law. The other

        wants to maintain the threat of the other party getting power in order to solidify their own power. actually doing something about it would weaken their case for election so they never will.
