“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.

    Huh?

    I don’t know if you’re really defending the GOP here, but even though neither of us will accept losing, let’s see:

    They don’t respect trans people

    They don’t respect women’s rights

    They don’t want to help the poor…

    But tell me more about them being the same as us because we both won’t accept election results

      Lol I don’t think the sides are the same in any way shape or form for the reasons you mention and more. I’ll vote the hell out of a full DNC ballot any day any time. I’m lucky to be in SF where even within the mainstream party, local and state offer progressive options, so I haven’t had to vote third party much over the years.

      My point was the above comment was like “I’m not gonna do this thing” “okay, so I’m doing this thing” “and now my point is proven bc I didn’t do the thing” Have you seen the Rick James couch skit on Chappelle? It’s like that.

        Haha yeah, good bit.

        I just wanted to be clear that just because we’re both going to deny the election results if we lose doesn’t mean we’re at all similar in other regards.

        Sorry if I was a little defensive. Lot of “BWAH I DONT LIKE THIS” in the comments but zero “Actually I think we’ll just say ‘Well done Donnie, enjoy being president. See you in four years.’. Not even “Well if HE wins then it actually WILL have been rigged so of course we’ll call it that.”. All " boo” no content
