During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday, Tara Setmayer, former CNN commentator and senior adviser to The Lincoln Project, said that third-party presidential candidates are “a threat to our democracy.”
“I think that third-party candidates are spoilers. I mean, history could potentially repeat itself again, and now more than ever, the idea of a third party is a threat to our democracy.” Setmayer remarked during a discussion about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign.
Setmayer’s assertion that giving voters in a democracy more choices in elections is a threat to democracy is odd, as The Lincoln Project is, in its own words, “dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy.” Observers have noted, however, that the phrase “threat to democracy” is increasingly becoming a catchall used by globalists to describe anything with which they disagree and threatens the globalist power structure.
“You’ll see over the course of the next couple of months. Basically, everything is a threat to democracy,” National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam noted in a January interview with Steve Bannon. “The oxygen you breathe will be a threat to democracy, elections, casting your vote — that’s a threat to democracy. Every single thing that isn’t globalism writ large is a threat to democracy in their terms, in their words,” Kassam said.
In a speech marking the third anniversary of the Jan 6 riots, Joe Biden said that “democracy” is at stake in the 2024 presidential election, a sentiment echoed by Setmayer, who also said during her Wednesday MSNBC appearance that “Donald Trump is a threat to our democratic system.”
Today the left is arguing that third parties are “a threat to democracy.”
