5. This right here:

Leaders in the new authoritarian axis share key qualities: intolerance toward minorities, hostility toward democratic norms, antagonism toward a free media, and a belief that leaders of government should be able use their power to serve their own financial interests. #SandersSAIS

8. He is hitting the cons where they hurt most:

Even as Trump draws closer to authoritarian leaders like Putin, Orban in Hungary, Erdogan in Turkey, Duterte in the Philippines, and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, Trump is needlessly increasing tensions with our democratic European allies. #SandersSAIS

10. Great message and true. Common among authoritarian regimes.

The idea that political donors in America expect a specific policy result in exchange for their contributions—a quid pro quo, the definition of corruption—is no longer even seen as scandalous. This sort of corruption is common among authoritarian regimes. #SandersSAIS
