The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”

“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.

Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

        The “their” you reference is the Democratic Party. It’s the party’s best chance of defeating Trump. People with better chances don’t fit well enough within the party to get their nomination.

        And the only reason the Democratic Party has a say is because the U.S. political system was designed to only allow one of two winners. The system is designed so that any third party offering will fail, and their attempt will harm the party with the “nearest” compatible beliefs.

        It’s a shitshow. Built poorly (on purpose to preserve power of the political elites), and litigated to be even worse, so corporations can bribe those elites.

        no he won’t, not if American voters keep apathetically stumbling towards fascism like they have been the last few years. The only way this is going to work is if everybody Taylor Swift’s the fuck out of this election, no more pussy footing around

          Trump has actually never won the popular vote. Unfortunately, majorities don’t really matter in the American election system.

            It is possible to out-vote the inherent inequities of the electoral college system and the decades of gerrymandering, but it will take a concerted effort to get out the vote from the demographicswho have been targeted by those voter supression efforts, especially in places like Florida and Texas.

          Uhh what?? Trump got elected once. That is it. Since then Dems have basically come out on top every election since likely because of Trump. Polling has always proven to be dog shit.

          Trump is a boogeyman Dems use to encourage people to vote their way. We aren’t heading to fascism because of him

      He’s definitely going to win, fascism is way too popular. Biden’s not great, but Trump’s a fucking disaster
