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.

This is just in! Genocide Joe is not the other guy!!!!
You should know, anyone that says "genocide Joe" unironically isn't fooling anyone. It's generally seen as a conservative dogwhistle round these parts.
Genocide Joe is a nickname coined and used by progressives.
Calling it a dogwhistle is generally seen as IDF propganda around these parts.
no progressive use that term. you're being intentionally disingenuous and it's obvious to anyone.
any reasonable progressive doesn't like America's support of Israel right now but we are all very aware that drump would be worse in all of the ways. so your attitude is pointless and clearly just unnecessary agitation.
I see your username making dumb and controversial comments all the time. high time I block your trolling ass.
Label us whatever you want. I voted for Biden in the 2020 general election and I won't be voting for him again. The label is irrelevant, all that matters is if you think you need my vote. If you don't think you need it then ignore me. If you think you need it then start fucking paying attention.
right. so genocide plus fascism is better than just genocide. makes perfect sense.
Stop electing procorporate trash in the primaries. How many times do you need to learn this lesson?
way to dodge the topic
That is the topic Boomer. If you need our votes to win general elections you have to take that into consideration in the primaries. You can continue to elect procorporate trash in the primaries but no amount of finger wagging is going to make us show up for shit candidates in the general. You know exactly what game you're playing. Knock it the fuck off.
lol at calling me a boomer... why are you resorting to baseless assumptions?
and wait, you're arguing that Biden is a shit candidate vs trump? they are both shit but one can't even complete sentences against the other. this kinda renders all your points completely irrelevant.
