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.
No, people equate what Israel is doing to “remove Hamas”, and what Israel is doing is indeed disgusting.
Notice how calling what Israel is doing digusting in no way defends or endorses what Hamas did or does. What’s digusting is the complete lack of care towards civilians. To the point where “genocide” becomes an actual, valid (and obvious) question when Israel has killed multiple times more civilians than Hamas could dream of. If you want to drag Hamas infront of some international court too, be my guest: I’m not on their side, either.
That is how you remove Hamas, unfortunately it is the path Hamas has chosen.
Literally no. Is Hamas controlling the IDF generals? The US has been trying to help them with lessons learned in Iraq and Afganistan about being “tough”.
Israel chooses overwhelming violence against civilians, which does not work. Israel is not controlled by Hamas, and you are fucking disgusting for defending a literal genocide.
It works if that’s the entire goal.
