Democracy

This is about the fight between authoritarianism and freedom and democracy. This is the Ronald Reagan evil empire against democracy.

This is important because Ukraine is important. This is about the fight between authoritarianism and freedom and democracy.

I think that is a horrific suggestion. Zelensky is leading a country, trying to defend democracy against an authoritarian dictator, [Vladimir] Putin.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show.

I never thought an American President would choose a Russian dictator over a democratic ally.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Zelensky deserved better. We owe him our thanks for leading a nation fighting on the front lines of democracy.

Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.

We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Sorry, President Trump, we believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

We owe him our thanks for leading a nation fighting on the front lines of democracy – not the public berating he received at the White House.

I want people to think about where we will be if it becomes normal to ask foreign governments to intervene in our political process.

[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about…the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy.

I think Trump is much closer ideologically to Putin and other autocrats around the world than he is to democratic countries.

New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We are not – we sure as hell are not going to start now.
