if Bernie is the nominee no amount of GOTV or money will save us, WH, House, Senate

We are in a war to defeat democracy, to carve out our political middle where strength and numbers populate. We can't let our choice be a dictator and a sure loser to that dictator. That is the choice dictators foreign and domestic and oligarchs are pushing us into.

That's because dictators don't want democracy, it's bad for job security and bad for their power grab.

With Bernie as nominee he's a stooge for Putin and Trump, wittingly or unwittingly. We get either authoritarianism under Trump, or a weak socialist state. Dictators love both choices.

That's why our moment is here to defend our freedoms or have them stolen from us. Speaker Pelosi has told us, and it should be daily kitchen table talk: 'A democracy, if you can keep it.'
