Government controls the media. Yet, this guy has the gall to talk about democracy.

[mr.m]

This guy talks about being united then goes and calls his opponents fascists and terrorists. Let's Go Brandon!!

[TheRyanBattle]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we are not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic.

[youtubeblockedme]

We have been speaking against it ... And getting censored at every turn... He is all about everything he is speaking against. What a liar

[sc]

They cheered on the mob for an entire summer.

He Forgets - A Democracy Is "We The People" Not You The Government Telling Us How To Think And Live!

[craigcolbourn]

How about we stop using computers in our elections? Maybe votes won’t mysteriously appear at 3:30 am this time.

[stoopidpursun]

"Vote exactly how we order you to vote or our democracy is in danger!!!"

That is you. That is LITERALLY you.

[TexRay]

This is what 47 years of experienced political grandstanding looks like.

[triolopez]

Brandon cult try to praise Brandon on MSNBC

[AshCosgrove]

The guy who showers with his daughter tells you that you're a bad person.

[Jason-izob]

How ironic that this disgrace would talk about democracy. Let’s go Brandon!

[muffmann]

If you want democracy to survive, vote red!
Impeach Brandon!!!

[ericw]

I saw on CNN it was reported that before hitting Paul with the hammer, David poured bleach on him and yelled "This is MAGA country" while eating a Subway sandwich.

[J.PMora]

Of course MSDNC would paint this man's divisiveness in a positive light. But then again they're the same network who had someone one who said 1/6 was worse than 9/11

[johntodd]

Let’s not deflect from the fact that gas and oil will skyrocket after the midterms because of Biden’s policies. Don’t forget your grocery bill too

[jamiesmith]

What democracy? We've never had a democracy. Did he mean to say a republic (or more specifically a democratic republic)? No, "democracy" is a Left-wing dog whistle for socialism because "democracy" and "socialism" are marketed as the people having control, but through a powerful government, which is an oxymoron. Libertarianism gives people control through a limited government. THAT's how our government was formed.

[dseelbach]

Is he still saying the laptop is Russian disinformation?

[janejetson]

What? No ominous backdrop and armed guards? Keep trying to prop up your president, MSNBC.

[davidromney]

It takes wise, compassionate, informed people, skilled in the arts of debate and compromise, to have a functioning democracy.
