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.
Again, my “example” was to show how impossible it was.
Yes, I know, I already said you have religious faith.
it’s not religious faith to doubt a claim for which there cannot be evidence. the claim it is impossible is one such claim.
You made a claim. You claimed Cornel West has a chance of winning. That is your religious faith.
the claim is that it’s possible. and i’ve shown already that it is possible. as did you.
You have done no such thing.
And, yet again, I showed that it was not possible. Stop claiming I did the opposite.
don’t tell me what to do.
Okay, I won’t. If you want to lie, go for it.
it’s not a lie, as anyone who reads our conversation can see.
Fine. Show me claiming it is possible. Go for it. This should be interesting.
