“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certain Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump “dangerous” for the nation.

“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.

“How many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? They’ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. … He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t. Which is dangerous.”

The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trump’s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.

    Since i get called a spy and bad actor so often, it got me thinking about theories n such.

    Now, I don’t believe this, but if there were astroturfing i would think it would be done by both the DNC and RNC. I’m just screwing around, but it would make sense a lil bit.

    The green party will get a larger percentage than normal this year, and while I don’t think the DNC or RNC feel threatened by them, it is very important to them that Americans never feel a third party is possible.

    Meh. There’s no conspiracy, its just people getting whipped up into a today cuz it’s an election year and truth is on hiatus.

      If it was astroturfing I’d be a lot less scared.

      The reality is it’s really people that will now excuse any behavior if there’s a D next to the president name. And other people have already been excusing anything from the other side of the aisle.

      Too many people are now like that. A president won’t be held accountable for anything, and most of the people voting won’t even like who they’re voting for.

      This isn’t democracy. The person who gets the most votes doesn’t even always win.

      It’s going to suck, and it’s going to be hard, but we desperately need to fix our political system. The longer we wait the harder it’ll get
