Jaron Lowenstein：我认为特朗普拒绝和平移交权力、拜登掩盖真相以及民主精英排挤伯尼都对我们的民主构成了威胁。这些事件并非理想状态，它们实际上是对我们民主的腐蚀。 Sam Harris：我认为拜登竞选连任的细节，以及由此产生的妄想、傲慢和不诚实，令人不安。从2016年开始，民主党和媒体变得腐败和容易被腐蚀，因为我们要在真正邪恶的候选人（特朗普）之间做出选择。人们宁愿选择一个接近昏迷的总统，也不愿选择特朗普，这表明人们认为特朗普有多糟糕。主流媒体没有更加关注拜登在任期末和竞选期间的精神状态，对此负有责任。真正的丑闻是，毫无疑问，总统身边的人早就看到了拜登的问题，而且在过去几年里多次看到过。拜登被有效地隐藏起来，达到了前所未有的程度。即使揭露了掩盖拜登身体状况的真相，也比让一个一心为自己服务的邪恶总统上台要好。我宁愿有一个处于昏迷状态的总统，由一群普通人组成的委员会来执行总统的职责，也不愿有一个邪恶的总统。
