Working with demagogues and autocrats is like working with cancer. You fight it. You cut it out. These aren't political differences, it's deciding if we're going to have politics at all.

With
@renew_democracy, this coalition concept is global, asking all who value the principles of liberal democracy to fight to defend them against extremists & autocrats on all sides. Then we can get back to arguing amongst ourselves!Show this thread -

Listen to Mr. Kasparov, he knows what he's talking about. I'm living in an autocratic country right now. It's not fun, it's not pretty, in fact it's downright scary. The old cliche, you don't know what you got till it's gone, rings truth.

Unfortunately, I’m totally convinced that you have spoken an absolute truth. I want to be optimistic, but I must also realize and accept a horrible future if Trump and GOP are not stopped. Being a Pollyanna will not help us.

@BarackObama and strengthened under@realDonaldTrump. Checkmate.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
