^^^^^^^^^^^^ is so daft. here is the text of the statement.  - it's like they were referencing divisive rhetoric, lack of respect to any other views, (calling anyone with an opposing view, insults) and authoritarian narratives being pushed nonstop, but its way to broken to grasp it.

 

 

 

 

The unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, are principles that bind us together as Americans. They have enabled the United States to strive toward a more perfect union, even when we have not always lived up to those ideals.

As a diverse nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, democracy holds us together. We are a country rooted in the rule of law, where the protection of the rights of all people is paramount. At the same time, we live among our fellow citizens, underscoring the importance of compassion, tolerance, pluralism, and respect for others.

We, the undersigned, represent a wide range of views across a breadth of issues. We recognize that these views can exist peaceably side by side when rooted in the principles of democracy. Debate and disagreement are central features in a healthy democracy. Civility and respect in political discourse, whether in an election year or otherwise, are essential.

Americans have a strong interest in supporting democratic movements and respect for human rights around the world because free societies elsewhere contribute to our own security and prosperity here at home. But that interest is undermined when others see our own house in disarray. The world will not wait for us to address our problems, so we must both continue to strive toward a more perfect union and help those abroad looking for U.S. leadership.

Each of us has a role to play and responsibilities to uphold. Our elected officials must lead by example and govern effectively in ways that deliver for the American people. This, in turn, will help to restore trust in public service. The rest of us must engage in civil dialogue; respect democratic institutions and rights; uphold safe, secure, and accessible elections; and contribute to local, state, or national improvement.

By signing this statement, we reaffirm our commitment to the principles of democracy undergirding this great nation, protecting our freedom, and respecting our fellow citizens. When united by these convictions, America is stronger as a country and an inspiration for others.

They are speaking directly to MAGA - that's why they did this - and that's why you're triggered.

The GOP knows they are finished with young voters and with people that have open eyes. Why do you think they are trying to restrict voting?

 

It's because they have no new ideas or plans for the future. What are they offering?

 

"Let's make the US like the 50's again" You mean when the US was an apartheid country?

 

That's the GOP's vision. That's why i left the party, and that's why they continue to lose over and over. 

 

The only option they have left is to yell cheating (even tho when their candidates win on the same ballot that was legit) and after that bullets.

 

Can't want to see these plate carrying idiots against a low flying trio of Apache gunships.

 

***** off.

“Let there be no question, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy,” he said, referring to the former president’s slogan, “Make America Great Again.” “And I will always defend, protect and fight for our democracy.”

 

🎯

 

 “I will not side with dictators like Putin. Maybe Trump and his MAGA friends can bow down but I won’t.”

Biden won't side with Putin but he'll do his best imitation like his Philadelphia "MAGA extremist" speech in Philly.  A fool and a tool.

No, Biden supports democracy and encourages support for the results no matter who wins. Trump goes against the results if he doesn't win. But you know that

Nice speech by Biden.

 

A second Trump presidency would be a direct attack on our republic. 

The big guy spoke.  Pulled the "trump bad".  You all call it good.

If the guy you hate is fairly elected it’s an attack on the county that elected him. 😂

Yea I know the socialists took over, centralized government power and took over private Industry under him, imprisoned political opponents. But that sounds a lot like the team you are rooting for, not the orange man who mostly focused on some foreign policy deals, finding cameras to talk to and blasting out stupid tweets.
