Bernie Sanders: 'This is not just an election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This is an election between Donald Trump and democracy – and democracy must win.'

Sanders said in his speech that the public should not brush off Trump's statements as a political distraction."I think it is terribly important that we actually listen to, and take seriously, what Donald Trump is saying," he said.

Trump said earlier this week he thought the results of the election might depend on action by the Supreme Court.

You are so full of BS Bernie Sanders that your initials are B.S.. You are a self declared socialist, a blurred line between communism.

We're a constitutional republic. TRUMP 2020

SarahKSilverman so very true

SarahKSilverman It shld be about Socialism n Democracy, right? ha

Democrats are failing democracy. Let that sink in !

Democlicans = Republicrats + doublespeak Now that Bernie folded like a wet Kleenex, he wants you to vote Oligarch. DEMOCRATS' ListenToBERNIE Hashtag FAILS! BernieSanders JoeBiden dupesoftheoligarchy

No it’s just an election between Trump and Biden. Maybe in 2024 we can have decent options? 2016 and 2020 were horrible choices. Choosing between the less of two evils. Biden pretty much guarantees a Trump re-election. Even Dems know nobody likes Biden.

U wish.. Donald Trump will win in a landslide

This is how you go from kooky but loveable crazy ole coot to simply a crazy old man calling for violence in the streets- and with full npr endorsement - who says intellectuality is dead?

Democrats are in charge of American media

SarahKSilverman It's so simple, 4 more years of Trump and good news everyone, you'll never have to bother with that pesky annoying voting thing ever again.

Way to spin this, NPR. You should have said democracy vs socialism if you wanted accurate reporting.

No, Bernie, it is an election between Trump and Biden, though I think we can agree that Biden is so weak and senile it is better to frame the election in broader terms

So Bernie finally found a way to support Biden without supporting Biden. Took long enough. But at least he got there. So come on Bernie Bros. You have the big guy’s permission to vote Biden. Turn out!

Lost it a tad. Don't you think? Democrats are the ones with the nefarious agenda over here. Dems completely lost it. Dems stooping low be aware. Try talking your mind and ask questions. Dems will insult and block you. Dems suppose to be the tolerant ones. Disappointed 🙁

Bernie you must go!!

I hope the Bernie supporters come out and vote and not just stay home like they did in the last election.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

SarahKSilverman What a joke. He's a socialist.

SarahKSilverman SenSanders Dude, *you’re* the Senator. What do you *think* we’ve been doing for the last 4+ months? We’ve been gassed, shot, beaten, jailed, curfewed, bullied, & threatened. We’re out there voting in the teeth of protesting, harassing ass-clowns. What more do you want?

Why is democracy at stake? There's two candidates and people will decide with a vote... Ideas may be different, but both sides ideally are trying to move the country forward.

Bro didn't even fight for himself to make democracy win in the primaries - twice.

TheBengalThing Socialism is not democracy

SarahKSilverman I’m Scottish, from the land of Trump’s mother. Good luck Bernie. America, and the world needs you.

SarahKSilverman

SarahKSilverman NPR hypocrites, when it really mattered you gave him shaddowing

SarahKSilverman No it’s an election between Donald Trump and racism, terrorism, pedophelia, socialism, communism, religious freedom, constitutional rights, and this

SarahKSilverman Says the looney Socialist.... oops- sorry NPR!

I refuse to vote for a child sniffing man with alzheimer's or whatever is wrong with him...

Bernie's a socialist, not a democrat.

You of all people should know we don’t have a democracy.

Obviously bernie know how to read the word democracy; does he know what it means 🙄

Of course leftist media such as npr focuses on this delusional message!

Bernie, you mean Socialism

I’m starting to get the feeling that the folks at NPR may have an agenda 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think Bernie's brains are fried.

Democracy cannot with with a Biden/Harris presidency.

Same tired speaking points. Same regurgitated stuff from 2016. Might as well talk about the nuke codes and WWIII being imminent again as well.

Amen

This family must be removed

Flomoll As long as we circle back to the fact if it wasn’t for Bernies misogynistic ratfuckery there wouldn’t be a fake 45 now

Bernie Sanders: 'This is not just an election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This is an election between Donald Trump and socialism– and socialism must win.'

Please! He’s pathetic!

Up until now, democracy has been winning. Look at the gridlock mess that it has turned out to be, Senator. And what if people freely elect Trump again? Isn’t that outcome democratic?

Amen.

Says the communist

Said the socialist!!!

It wi be a shame if Biden wins and die next month by heart attack. Doesn't america had someone in their 50's to run for election.

Uncle you came,you BS and you ran away

Spoken like a true communist

Says the communist who honeymooned in Russia.

Dude sounds like K. West!

Yes, it is that simple.

The vote for Jorgensen4POTUS. The only candidate promising to end QI!!!

Republic. You guys keep spelling Constitutional Republic wrong... Democracy lies within entertainment...

Imagine if Bernie had done this for Hillary when he didn’t have the math to win? Imagine.

Every journalist should be saying this & it should be front page news.

Lol!!

Out of care for our democracy, I have volunteered for the state democratic parties of Nevada, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania using Thru-talk to reach out to people, listen to their concerns, guide them towards registering to vote, and trusting our mail-in ballots to vote.

trea·son /ˈtrēzən/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: treason; noun: high treason; plural noun: high treasons the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.

Says the avowed socialist...laughable.

Snore 🤡🤡🤡

So says the communist!

Wow really attracts the bots and trolls, don’t they? In every thread they’re on here screaming ignorance and insults. 🙄

Go away

That speech gave me chills

Bernie Bots will not follow suit and will pRoTeSt bY nOt vOtINg

MsRock4Ever Says the man who was silent when his party cheated twice in the primaries 😂😂😂

AmyRaines8 Bernie was burning tonight. Awesome takedown.

Well this democracy created Trump & many more. Soooooo.

Amen, Bernie!

jenelaina This speech is damn near Churchillian.

I ChooseDemocracy 🇺🇸

The other senile oldman. 🤣

Thank you Senator Sanders for your finding a place to support Biden, continue to speak for a more progressive future, and call out the threat to our democracy.

bhaviklathia Thank god for BernieSanders

Would be that be the same Joe Biden the father of the Patriot Act, and of Mass Incarceration of millions of POC? The guy who destroyed 3 generations of black communities with draconian drug laws while Bush & Clinton dumped mountains of crack onto their communities? NeverBiden

BernieSanders: 'This is not just an election between realDonaldTrump & JoeBiden. This is an election between Donald Trump and democracy' .... an absolutely baseless partisan paltitude ...

Just wish it was between Trump and Bernie.

Still not voting for Sleepy Joe. GreenParty2020

I agree wholeheartedly. Hope realDonaldTrump and senatemajldr are listening.

Democratic Socialist says Democracy must win

Says the freaking socialist.

You all have done a disservice to America!! Joe is not the answer! He is not even around to campaign for himself! Where is he? The DNC should be ashamed. The media is doing Joe's work for him by hiding the truth about Joe. They are forcing people to do their own research.

CathyJoeGPT BernieSanders Say it! Democracy vs Fascism! You've maybe changed your mind about that Fascism thing you've been promoting. Either way, no progressive ideas will ever find a way if donald wins. You will never get another vote. With Democracy you had a chance.

Playing you guys just like he’s always done.

Bernie Sanders eloquently defending the country against the president who 'loves' America but hates its democracy.

We just wait until every single vote is counted...no matter how long it takes.

When I heard your speech today, I jumped to my feet and yelled at the top of my lungs, 'Way to go, Bernie!' You said everything perfectly. Hope your comments are played again and again on a loop from now until election day. Thank you, Senator Sanders! God bless you!

Thanks Bernie

Dont you mean Socialism

Vote him out Save our country Save democracy Our ancestors bled and died for this what we have here. Vote vote vote VoteHimOut2020 EndTheNightmare EnoughIsEnough

Seriously?

Good for you for reporting this. Bernie did a great job today, but the press can’t be bothered to cover the campaign other than stupid things Trump says.

Thanks for your words Mr Sanders

You can only vote against socialism and communism once.

Lol, like the democracy that was the DNC colluding against you Bernie, all of the other Presidential canidates dropping out at just the right time so you couldn't win the nomination to be the Democrats' nominee for President. Your a shining example.. lol VoteOrDie lol

rayleengale twitter and Facebook need to do what he says “Get their act together” and remove election disinformation.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

❤️👏👏👏 Beautiful and powerful speech.

When the Fck did democracy become part of Bernie's vocabulary. That's the problem their now trying to call it democracy because they know they wouldn't stand a chance with any American of any race or color. It's all camouflage a snake in the grass

A sobering but spot on declaration.

You mean capitalism vs Socialism... Capitalism MUST WIN🇺🇸

Republic.

Bernie is loser. The people spoke a long time ago. Why do ppl continue to listen to losers? Plus, never trust a man who doesn’t lift

News Flash! Suburban women voters will NOT allow old grey/orange haired dudes like Mitch & Trump to use their reproductive rights as a bargaining chip! If their intention is to fill RBG's spot with a sure vote to kill Roe v Wade, that will awaken the wrath, ire & fury of women!

With all the respect to your leadership. Please help Bolivia by not supporting Evo Morales 14 years dictatorship

Bernie, Democratic leadership is no better than Trump so when you talk about democracy, don't make it sound like their hands are clean!

Once the parasites figured out how to control 'voter intention' just like they conned us into buying billions of cigarettes, democracy was over. And that's been a long, long time.

I'm far more worried about the marxist/socialist/communist democratic party policies than anything I've seen the GOP do.

You bet Comrade.

No thanks oppressive progressivess. No thanks.

Said by a socialist.

Right...

That’s a laugh. You’re a communist, Bernie.

You are not democracy!

When did Bernie cease to being an Independent who caucuses as a Democrat and become the full-fledged Democrat (he has always been)?

*Between Trump and Communism and Communism must lose

This is interesting. Does anyone like the person they vote for? Or, do you vote against the other person. It’s an honest question.

That’s why he lost.

Trump could never do all this crap on his own for four years. TrumpChaos GOPComplicitTraitors GOPBetrayedAmerica Election2020 VoteHimOut2020 DumpTrump2020

IDK, but it seems like it's actually an election between trump & biden.

Loony commie gezer🤪

America is NOT a democracy.

Democracy winning is just the start. Americans must be forever aware of how fragile our freedom is and how many of our fellow Americans are so consumed by racism, hatred and greed that they joyfully become willing participants in their own destruction.

Lol, ok Comrade Bernie.

So says the socialist who has never done a damn thing for anyone but himself!

Tell his followers to vote Biden and Blue this November.

He got it half right

Says the Socialist? Seriously NPR. You’re fucking kidding us we try this trash?

No. It's a socialism vs capitalism race and capitalism must win.

nancygower What Bernie means is: VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN

Spoken by someone was bothered that we had too many choices of deodorant. But he owns three homes and has never worked a day in his life. What a grifter. His wife stole money from a college, and bankrupted it. Sure, let's care what he think.s

THEN burn the WHOLE SYSTEM DOWN - this has not been a democracy since JFKs head was blown off - so lets get real about what youre fighting for amerikkka

We are a constitutional republic not a democracy. And a vote for trump is a vote to keep it. Or you get China policies or communism.

Trump - Pence have never made sense.

I don’t feel like this. I feel like the Democrats are trying to undermine our democracy with the cancel culture, the violence and limiting free speech

Pick a team Bernie, then go away!!

...said the Communists.

Yeah we know you want Socialism and Communism Sorry Wrong Country Sanders Sit Back Down ... if you do not like it here ... you can leave ... You were married in russia ... should have stayed ... We don't want Socialism or Communism here ... Trump = Capitalism Dems = Socialism

Yeah we know you want Socialism and Communism Sorry Wrong Country Sanders Sit Back Down ... if you do not like it here ... you can leave ... You were married in russia ... should have stayed ... We don't want Socialism or Communism here ... Trump = Capitalism Dems = Socialism

That's what I need. A Socialist telling me we're losing a democracy (hint: we're already not a democracy)

Seems like there are other candidates in this race too. Check out Jorgensen4POTUS the LPNational candidate. Not an old white guy and never been accused of sexual impropriety.

Lolz you know what is the pinnacle according to Bernie?

Says the socialist.

Este no es el comunista gringo

Bizarro Describing your steadfast beliefs and pinning them on Trump

Senator Berni please don’t interfere in Bolivian Politics.

Remember when the DNC and the mainstream media rigged the 2016 Democratic primaries against Sanders? Now that was an assault in democracy.

Like this comment if you think Bernie sanders makes good homemade guac.

Says the guy who watched democracy being stolen away from him in 2016 when HillaryClinton rigged the primary election. Politicians are complete sociopaths!

More like between Donald Trump and abject senility. The corrupt FBI couldn’t bring Trump down... and some senile fool ain’t gonna take him down either

Says the socialist and you print it?

National Propaganda Radio

no bitch it was an election between trump and democracy in 2016

It’s democracy vs communism. Get it right

He let me down, seems like hollow rhetoric now, the die is cast, the curse has been spoken, we are fucked

So, if I democratically vote for Trump, and he wins, democracy loses? What?

When your candidate is so bad, you have to pretend he isn't running.
