    Sen. Bernie Sanders

    Sanders: Trump Is an Authoritarian Who May Let Musk Take the Wheel

    "Trump is an authoritarian, does not believe in the rule of law, and for 100 reasons is unfit to be president of the United States," Sanders told NBC's "Meet the Press."

    Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders issued a strong warning against a second Trump administration on Sunday, portraying him as an authoritarian who might let billionaire Elon Musk control his government and would be even worse than the Biden-Harris administration when it comes to enabling Israel's war on Gaza.

    Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Sanders agreed that it was accurate to describe former U.S. President Donald Trump as a fascist.

    A Few Words to Those Currently 'Uncommitted' to Voting for Harris

    Outrage over Biden administration’s Middle East policy, and Harris’s support for it, is fully warranted. Full stop. It is also obvious that Trump would be no friendlier, no kinder, and no more interested in bringing an end to Palestinian suffering.

    I have never subscribed to the idea that citizens who refuse to vote for a Democratic candidate in a tight race are somehow morally responsible for the election of a Republican, however bad that Republican might be.

    If we are serious about liberal democracy, then we must recognize that every citizen has the legal, moral, and civic right to cast their vote as they choose, and that every single vote for every candidate must be earned. I may regret that many people voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 or Jill Stein in 2016. But it is wrong to presume that I can think or choose for others. The bottom line is that, given the arcane U.S. Electoral College system, the Gore campaign failed to win enough votes in 2000, and the Clinton campaign failed in 2016. It is not the fault of those progressives who refused to support them.

    Trump and Harris shake hands before debating.

    Time for a United Front Against Trump and Realism About Harris

    The policy that Harris has defended for the war on Gaza is despicable, yet she is the only candidate who can spare us from another Trump presidency, which—from all indications—would be far worse than the first one.

    With Election Day just three weeks off and voting already underway in some states, the race for president is down to the wire. Progressives could make the difference.

    While no one in their left mind plans to vote for the fascistic and unhinged former U.S. President Donald Trump, some say they won’t vote for Vice President Kamala Harris because of her loyalty to President Joe Biden’s support for the Israeli war on Gaza. That might enable Trump to win with enough electoral votes from swing states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
