• 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!

    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.

    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.
