‘It will be the end of democracy’: Bernie Sanders on what happens if Trump wins – and how to stop him
www.theguardian.com
He’s the leftwing outsider who nearly became the Democrats’ candidate for president - twice. As his position on the Israel-Gaza war threatens to upset his support, the veteran senator says he’s tired but determined to fight the return of that ‘ bitter, humiliated man’

    Unless he said “I am renouncing my affiliation with the Democrat party and am running for the office of President of the United States again” then whatever he says is incorrect.

      He might as well just hand the election to Trump at that point. I mean, I get it, wrong lizard and what not, but in the real world that’s really the only option in the immediate term.

        “Orange evil man scary. Must vote supervillain sunglasses evil man. Only way. Oonga Booga.”

        You are trying to stop Trump, and you are only setting up Biden to lose to Trump.

              As opposed to shilling for Trump? Or are you too young to understand the concept of difficult choices and their consequences.

                I assure you I’m not young, and assure you shilling for anyone is the death of a government.

                In even a restrictive democratic Republic, a person worth voting for is worth voting for.

                And in America, a Democrat not worth voting for loses.

                That means a Democrat worth voting for must be produced, or America had outgrown a binary system.

                  You know what’s worse than shilling for an individual person? Shilling for chaos. Go away.

                  In even a restrictive democratic Republic, a person worth voting for is worth voting for.

                  What is the point of voting for someone who has no reasonable chance of winning vs. just staying home?
