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.
What is the good legislation that the president in the executive branch passed?
The legislator of the US is basically frozen and has been for almost 40 years. No major legislation, as defined by constitutional amendment, have been passed since then when congress gave themselves a raise. ACA was gutted as it was passed when they dropped the public option and doesn’t count as “good” or “major” in my opinion. This was over 10 years ago. To me the defining moment of Biden’s time in office is the fact presided over the office as the right to bodily autonomy has been repealed.
