Biden gave a speech this morning condemning the university antiwar protesters. He calls them violent and says that they are protesting illegally.

Remember when Biden condemned the brutal police response against the BlackLivesMatter protest? That’s when Trump was in office and Biden was running against him. He stated there must be a right to assembly and freedom of speech. Yet when he’s put in a similar situation, it’s no different. The US is accelerating their decline to further line the pockets of the ruling class. It’s legitimately horrendous!
The self-licking boot.
Ordnung!
Muss!
Sein!
What i figure from this is that the only reasons the Democrat party doesn’t win more often in the US, is that they’re really, really, really bad at their jobs.
Like take Hillary for instance. She only lost because she managed to look more incompetent than Trump. Now Trump is doing his darnest that no one will be more incompetent than him, but by all the starts in the universe, genocide Joe will give him a run for his money
Stay tuned for the election with the worst presidential candidates that the US could produce. It’s so embarrassing, i fear my face might freeze in the cringe.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. The protests scratched Biden.
Order for who?
Order for who, motherfucker?
But have you considered that those investing in genocide are human too
I did! And I came to the conclusion that no, they are not.
Let’s highlight the actual points in this article instead of taking Hexbear at their word:
emphasizing that violent protest is not protected under the law.
Biden emphasized that “peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues”
“Whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans, it’s simply wrong… In America, we respect the right and protect the rights for them to express that, but it doesn’t mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence, without distraction, without hating and within the law.”
The president also said “no” to a separate shouted question asking whether he thinks the National Guard should intervene in the campus protests.
To summarize, he respects their right to protest and called for nonviolence without citing any side in particular. Notable that there have been violent counter-protestors.
Translation: We only allow “protests” that are ineffective and don’t cause any trouble for the ruling class
Also, Lemmy.world user detected, opinion rejected.
Every single one of the US’s amendments came not through voting, or within the political system itself. Every single one was accompanied by violent and disruptive protest and the threat from the masses below.
Peaceful protests have not won anything. The Civil Rights Movement was not peaceful, despite liberal mythology.
Name anything significant that changed with “peaceful protest” shit nothing changes when right-wing nut jobs stormed Congress.
No one cares about the uninformed State-Department-regurgitation you call an ‘opinion’ except for other uninformed settler wastrels sipping the same governmental vomitus; you collaborating dog.
Ok, but protests need to be done “without distraction”? That kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?
Whithout citing any side in particular.
Do you really think Biden is talking about anyone other than the pro-Palistinian protesters in this context?
So you’re just making assumptions about his stance, and disregarding what he says?
Disregard what Liar in Chief Biden says? All the time. White House walks back Biden’s claim he saw children beheaded by Hamas

I judge him by his 50 year track record, not his words.
