Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the reelection of former President Trump would be the “end of democracy” in an interview released Saturday by The Guardian.
“It will be the end of democracy, functional democracy,” Sanders said in the interview.
The Vermont senator also said in the interview that he thinks that another round of Trump as the president will be a lot more extreme than the first.
“He’s made that clear,” Sanders said. “There’s a lot of personal bitterness, he’s a bitter man, having gone through four indictments, humiliated, he’s going to take it out on his enemies. We’ve got to explain to the American people what that means to them — what the collapse of American democracy will mean to all of us.”
Sanders’s words echo those President Biden made in a recent campaign speech during which he said that Trump’s return to the presidency would risk American democracy. The president highlighted the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol in an attempt to cement a point about Trump and other Republicans espousing a kind of extremism that was seen by the world on that day.
Clearly you don’t understand the first-past-the-post system the US presidential election utilises.
This person has been going off in almost every post on the topic, and myself among many others have tried to explain to the their logic is entirely flawed. They’re a lost case. But responding to them with the truth of how things work will at least help anyone on the fence that they met accidentally influence.
this is poisoning the well.
Only if it’s untrue. Your comment history and the responses received proves the truth of it.
>Only if it’s untrue.
wrong. when I say is true or untrue regardless of what I may have said or done in the past.
Yep. Blocking you now. This is pointless. I’ve done my job here.
>Blocking you now.
thank God
I do, and it doesn’t change whether what I said is true.
