We have two candidates: one stands for democracy; one doesn't. - Velshi - MSNBC



From trying to overturn the last election he lost, to promising to use the force of the law to exact revenge on his enemies if he returns to power, to the 900-plus page playbook known as Project 2025, which lays out a detailed plan for seizing and consolidating power, the danger of Donald Trump to democracy is clear and present.

We seem to have lost sight of all of this in the aftermath of a lackluster debate performance from the President, but we have two candidates: one stands for democracy; one doesn't. That’s the beginning - and the end - of the realization voters need to have. More than two centuries after the Founding Fathers rejected tyranny, we find ourselves summoned to a similar call – to defend and uphold the principles of democracy. Our job, as citizens, is to choose democracy, whomever is carrying that flag into the next. - Aired on 07/06/2024.

During the debate Biden needed a losenge and Trump needed a lie detector test, a conscience, and a reminder that he is not running for dictator of North Korea.
