Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trumpās policies, arguing that āTrumpism does not believe in democracy.ā
In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trumpās ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.
He cited Trumpās recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.
The White House dismissed Sandersā concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.
look, I think I understand your anger and disappointment - I am fucking angry as well, but defeating maga fascism is going to take a concerted push from all angles. a firebrand aoc; a measured and consistent bernie; a judiciary that pushes back with bared teeth. outside groups that inform, organize and march, putting willing bodies on the line.
bernie is a part of the solution. his message of real solidarity and collective power is a vital part of any resistance. please dont belittle his vital contribution of the past and the now. the man is actively reaching out to a growing body of people across the poltitcal spectrum in ways that only a bernie can.
AOC is hardly a firebrand as she kowtows to fucking pelosi.
Al I hear is excuses about how the democrats canāt do shit and Iām done hearing it. They donāt want to fight fascism they want to cynically fucking fundraise off it.
Again, where are your alternatives? If these leaders suck as badly as you say they do, then who should people be looking to instead?
