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.
I did not claim anyone will or even has a chance of winning.
And I do know he doesn’t have a chance. I explained why.
You don’t know he has a chance. You, again, have religious faith.

I do not have to prove you wrong. That is not how the burden of proof works. You have to prove yourself right.

You justify your faith first. Go for it.

I gave a scenario which I think is basically impossible. I think you know that. And I’ll justify my impossible claim when you justify your impossible claim. At least I admit mine is impossible.

The flaw is that most people who run for president have no chance of getting elected. Including Cornel West and literally every other person who is not a Democrat or a Republican for over a century.
Dodge.
You’re the one disagreeing with him, you have to justify why you’re disagreement is the correct answer.
You can’t just say you’re right and wave your hands around and expect people to believe it.

Fine. Provide evidence. Evidence-free claims are religious faith.
