President-elect Joe Biden has promised to host a gathering of the world’s democracies next year, hoping to show that a post-Donald Trump America will be committed to democracy abroad and at home

“I’m very skeptical about it. I’m not sure who even wants to attend,” said an Asian ambassador, speaking on condition of anonymity to not undermine ties with the Biden team. “Sure, the British will be here. The Canadians will turn up. But is it just a Western grouping then? Does Peru qualify? They’ve had elections, but they’ve also been impeaching their presidents every week.”

“The subtext is that there’s been competition from the illiberal forces out there in a different direction, and it behooves the United States to get into the contest,” said Derek Mitchell, president of the National Democratic Institute, which promotes democratic institutions abroad. Twining further called on Biden and his aides to make sure that the summit includes discussion on countering China and Russia on the cyber and tech fronts.

Biden has called the event a “Summit for Democracy,” not a “Summit of Democracies.” That linguistic distinction could give organizers some room to maneuver on invitations: If your government says it’s for democracy even if it’s not very good at it, then maybe you get on the list.

Those countries shouldn't be invited. They might be allies, but they have dictators with bloody hends.

Iran is already planning to take advantage of a weak America get ready people here come the terrorist attacks

Love it JoeBiden 👍👍👍

And he still not in the Whitehouse, making future decisions. He spent his next term of office with investigations with claims of voting fraud?

You cheated. BidenCheated

The question becomes where do you draw the line? Using the EIU Democracy Index I'd say around Pakistan or Nigeria. That could push countries like Turkey & Jordan who are solid American allies to open up a little more & especially stop jail journalists. That needs to be clear!

Sounds like a great idea!

Hypocrites! Stealing votes is anti-Democratic.

This is not going to happen....

I implore every American to watch this video. “We The People” need to unite to save our country from the tyranny of ANY political group. Let us stand together as Patriots of our beautiful United States Of America. ♥️🇺🇸♥️

We’re a Constitutional Republic founded on democratic principles, not a democracy!

Thought Dimms were against 'nation building'?

Better tell the media and big tech who don't understand the basic principle of democracy like freedom of speech. Censoring other opinions and points of view that don't meet their party's standards aren't evil.

He'll have to do it from one if his 4 houses in DE. Because Biden didn't win ✌

All talk and no resolution. What one thing realDonaldTrump has showed us is how to execute policy with action.

Biden won less than 17% of counties ( a new low) and that's with all the cheating lol.

More likely, to sell the soul of our nation.

Need to worry about the rigged election machines and bill or stuffing.

By then, this man would have been in jail. Biden can never escape jail terms.

He is so full of crap - Socialism is Not Democracy!!

I think you mean the ones the US government approve of

cberrl A banner for the party was glimpsed.... appears to have a four-letter word followed by 'Moscow Mitch'

Is hunter going to be in charge of getting China to the meeting?

Ukraine moving forward with criminal charges against HunterBiden and JoeBiden2020. See full press conference before it is censored. MUST SEE VIDEO: CNNnewsroom foxandfriends ReutersUS

Won’t happen BidenCheats

President-steal Joe Biden has promised to host a gathering of the underground ’s democracies next year, hoping to show that a pro-ghost America will be committed to Dominion abroad and at home…… and he might forget his promise or stay in jail.

So basically JoeBiden telling the world ”the whore is back”, the UD serving the world, not US, everything is going to go back to the normal-bs-nothing of before👎🏻 another 4yrs of politicians & their families getting richer, a stronger China & more worthless deals Trump2024

... and so the American Apology Tour resumes (“Hey! We’re getting the band back together!”)

Democracy requires both sides to be invested in it, which includes being willing to accept losing.

🙄

Joe has talked fluff for 48 years and what has he accomplished? Here's betting there is more fluff to come...but i'll watch🍿

But COVID 🥴

So... bidding for USA will start at how much? BiddenCheated

he, as a fraud president, can teach the world leaders how to make massive voting fraud in the election . 😂😂😂

What for? Grandstanding? Virtue signaling?

It will be interesting how they define democracies...😅

Biden is not president elect

So will guest speakers feature China and Iran? His bff’s are sure to be miffed if not invited.

Is he going to buy a hotel and then schedule the meeting to take place there while simultaneously increasing the rates? Oh wait, this isn’t DiaperDonald and the grifters. This is a real president!

His will be a presidency of superficially pleasing optics and comforting words.

Sounds expensive. I'm sure the other democracies will want us to prove our commitment with $$$, as usual.

Assuming covid is under control

Jimmy Carter's 'commitment to democracy' brought the ayatollahs to power in Iran, and Obama almost brought the Muslim Brothers to power in Egypt.

Post-Donald☑️ Those words alone give a boast to America’s image abroad & strengthens our resolve🇺🇸 President-Elect Biden is a light & a reminder that democracy has been saved. DemocracySaved

We’re going to have to do some work to deserve to be on the invite list.

Biden might miss his daily nap if he holds a summit!

A post Trump era, make America weak, give our tax money away, F all of us

Palmists’ rule

How many days until he destroys the Abraham Accords

Biden adalah boneka cina Hancur amerika kalau di pimpin biden.

Imagine calling for a democracy summit when every American is surveilled by the government and corporations, the 1% having more wealth than the 99, and your own party having superdelegates. America is a failed state

He wants to do a lot of things... let’s see how many come to fruition

Will his so called gathering included China 🇨🇳 ? Will china with Biden’s. In the bunker leadership commit to more transparency and freedom of their rights of the Chinese people will the talk about Hong Kong. ?

PR exercise for Biden’s own publicity.Let him first deal with the “ democracy “ in communist China !

Lmao the one trying to lock you drown wants to spread “democracy” how ironic 🤡

More like a “How to rig an election “ summit

When would the bombing of Syria start, if he was to be elected?

Joe's still playing house? Somebody break ut to him that he's not the president and never will be 🤦‍♂️

Uh, America has been committed to democracy the last 4 years. The only difference is Trump refused to start unnecessary wars in order to force other countries to adopt it.

Like Obama. Weak USA. Here we go again.

Will that be before, or after, he sends the Ayatollah more cash?

Has American media determined what flavor ice cream Biden prefers? JournalismIsDead

Yeah? Ok, sure.
