Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trumpā€™s policies, arguing that ā€œTrumpism does not believe in democracy.ā€

In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trumpā€™s ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.

He cited Trumpā€™s recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.

The White House dismissed Sandersā€™ concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.

    Who said anything about that? If thatā€™s what you want to talk about, it should happen in a different instance.

    That said, in the abstract and speaking generally, a single instance of a particular tactic within a broad category of strategy failing does not disprove the efficacy of the entire broad category.

      I assumed you wanted to talk about solutions that these mods ban. Isnā€™t that political violence?

        No, I have no interest in being baited into getting banned.

        But never mind that; can I infer from your lack of rebuttal to my actual argument that you concede the point?

          Not trying to bait anyone. Honestly just confused about what youā€™re suggesting that we canā€™t talk about here.
