It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought that Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Donald Trump on an issue like this.

We don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy. Our democracy might be gone in six months.

This threat is unique

I just wake up every day and say what I feel and I think, and it sort of feels to me that these days, authenticity is the only thing that matters in politics.

I mean, every Democrat could just continue to run in the same direction they’ve been running for the last 10 years.

A lot of people in the Democratic Party tried to make it sound like Bernie was divisive, when, in fact, Bernie’s message, still to this day, speaks to a lot of folks that voted for Donald Trump.

Being president is 'just not in my brain at all right now,' ... 'sounds like a pretty hard, miserable job.'

Authenticity is the only thing that matters in politics.

We don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy. Our democracy might be gone in six months.

Maybe part of the reason that some of my stuff and messaging is breaking through right now is because I don’t have that ambition.

I think that the traditional sort of political rules still apply. If we have people out on the streets protesting, if we’re overwhelming Republican town halls, if we’re lighting up the phone lines here, political gravity still exists.

Being president is just not in my brain at all right now.

This moment is different, that this threat is unique — and to me, you know, we don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy. Our democracy might be gone in six months.

When somebody is trying to grab power, when somebody is trying to destroy democracy, they benefit from people who are static, who refuse to be nimble.

I’m looking to build a movement all around this country.

I’m of the school that you have to fight every day and that if you don’t, people aren’t going to think that it’s a red alert moment.

Authenticity is the only thing that matters in politics — that folks will actually let you make a lot of mistakes as long as they feel like they’re hearing you genuinely.

That economic message, the message that speaks to a lot of things that Bernie Sanders talks about, is a unifying message in this country.

If I have one critique of the 2020 election campaign, it’s that the tent pole of that campaign was democracy, saving democracy, not breaking up concentrated economic power. And in retrospect, I think that was a mistake.

We have become the party of the status quo, when we’re not. We’re actually the party of change, the party of transferring power from powerful people to people who have no power.

How can you help stop Donald Trump’s power grab? One of the things you can do is support people like me with a donation to make sure that we don’t have to spend time raising money, we can be fighting back against this illegal…

We don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy. Our democracy might be gone in six months.

I think every Democrat needs to make up their own mind. I think that State of the Union speech is going to be a farce. I think it’s gonna be a MAGA pep rally.

I think the State of the Union speech is going to be a farce. I think it’s gonna be a MAGA pep rally.

We have to fight every single day, every single day.
