By the way Biden has responded via social media and its about as perfect as a reply to this as possible.

I would think that the best thing politically for both of them is to literally hold a join press conference, and promise to cool the rhetoric. |
There has never been rhetoric coming from Biden that has any way encouraged violence.
I don’t agree with your both sides takes. Trump’s rhetoric has directly led to people dying. I don’t believe you can make a similar, genuine claim against Biden.

It really sucks that innocents got hurt.
Can Trump really be mad about this considering how much he pushes his cultists to exact violence on the libs and political rivals? Something about a goose.

He must be defeated at the ballot box. Doesn't seem possible now though. Nevertheless, we must not give up hope. Advocate for the Democratic nominee, whether it's Biden or someone else. Help register people to vote if you're in the US, etc.
Other than that, try to enjoy the next 6 months. Because once Trump is inaugurated (likely), you'll start seeing things happen that you never thought you'd see happen. Modern western liberal democracy is the Titanic and it just hit the iceberg...

Honest question, why is this thread so heated considering this is American politics and we are all mostly Canadian.
Do people not realize it doesn't matter who is president? The powers behind the president are what matter.
I do hope Trump wins and I know that's unpopular but I like him.

Really? This was Joe Biden just a few days ago.
“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said.”

But this is yet another reason why any type of violence should be spoken against. Once it sparks, no matter how small, you can't control its spread.
