Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) held a massive rally in Chicago, Illinois, on Saturday, drawing thousands of supporters and telling them that President Trump is “moving this country into an autocracy.”
...
Sanders told that crowd that, in order to defeat President Trump in November, Democrats will need the largest voter turnout in the history of America.
“That turnout looks like Grand Park today,” he said.
Sanders described the president, as he has in past stump speeches, as a “pathological liar” and accused him of “moving this country into an autocracy.”
While Sanders told supporters that he and his opponent, Joe Biden (D) are “friends,” he said they have different vision and records, citing the former vice president’s past positions on the Iraq War, trade agreements, and Social Security, as well as his support from super PACs and billionaires.
Despite that, Sanders said Democrats will get behind the eventual nominee because the differences between those within the party are “far, far less” than the differences with this “dangerous” president.
Sanders also touted his ultra-progressive positions, including his “100 percent pro-choice” voting record, promising to never appoint a judge who is not “100 percent pro-Roe v. Wade.” He also promised to “expand” funding for Planned Parenthood.
The Vermont senator also harped on climate change — one of the central issues of his campaign.
“Instead of spending $1.8 trillion a year on weapons of destruction designed to kill each other, maybe we should pool our resources and fight our common enemy, which is climate change,” he said, prompting chants of “Bernie.”
Sanders added that he is prepared to take on the “whole damn one percent.”

Rage Against the Machine?
Bullshevik
Hehe, I had a triggered Bernie supporter yelling at me once and I leaned in and whispered to her ‘service dog’, “Don’t worry, they eat their favorite pets last”.
An “autocracy” is a country that prefers to drive autos.
Tecumseh Sherman wanted them dead because he kept reporting theur positions to the enemy. That’s why he went silent when he burned Georgia ..
Haha I was going to post that. All 4 those poser commie asshole members have mansions in CA. Good thing I Napster their CDs.
But the statistics cited only go back to 1917, which is perhaps why "Honest Abe's" actions against the press were never mentioned.
So, what is it that everyone says is dangerous and anti-American about Trump? It’s hilarious to hear this said over and over, when his actions and words prove they are absolutely making it up. I’d love to ask these fools what is it that makes Trump “dangerous”?
If there’s one thing I’m grateful for Hillary, it was to screw Bernie over in 2016. Because Bernie had a real good chance at defeating Trump.
Well then...perhaps President Trump needs to start a “literacy program” and Bernie will look upon him more favorably...
LOL!
If you could get yourself stuck in a 1971 poli sci grad student mental time warp, you'd understand.
LOL he’s going after trump while losing to grandpa Biden. Sad little man
Planned Parenthood and climate change and fighting the whole one
Percent ..... Gawd it’s going to be a long haul to November. If the virus doesn’t get us first.....
That’s what we’ll all be if Bernie is elected ba-roke.
I guess Bumbling Bernie forgot that the POTUS works WITH Congress and the judiciary...so this country COULD NOT have an autocracy in any sense of the word.
