Robert F Kennedy JR claimed Joe Biden was a bigger threat to democracy than Donald Trump. Manifold disagrees. So what are the top 5 reasons Manifold thinks Donald Trump is a threat to democracy?

This market resolves to a poll. Top 5 resolves Yes everything else resolves No. Close time is arbitrary. The poll linked above does not resolve this market.

This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.

If anyone cares, RFK claims Biden and Harris are threats to Democracy because they are not resilient enough to push back against the military/pharmaceutical/financial/media corporate industrial complex.

Corporations having more influence on policy than the citizenry is the threat.

That seems a more tangible threat than an angry mob overthrowing the military.

You guys read 1984, right?

The threat to democracy comes from racist, intolerant, authoritarian leftists and liberal Democrats.

RFKJ probably meant democracy in the US, but worth considering whether a threat to democracy in the US is a threat to democracy worldwide, or maybe even democracy generally.

@KeenenW When does the poll start?

@CharlieBauer I had planned for sometime later this year after summer

bought Ṁ10 NO

The total probability shouldn't add up to more than 500%

M LboughtṀ28 NO

@PlasmaBallin Agreed! Currently it's at 567%…

bought Ṁ10 NO

Was at 99%+98%+90%+65%+59%+47%+40%+38%+33%+27%+22%+22%+15%+9%+8%
= 672% a moment ago lol

bought Ṁ10 YES

What kind of poll is this going to be? Will everyone get to pick multiple options (which seems the most appropriate for this kind of poll), or only one?

@PlasmaBallin Yes, however the poll is done you will be able to vote yes or no for each option.
