"The other side does X, Y, Z terrible thing so we have to do it too, and more!" is capitulation to illiberalism, not resistance. Only 49.4% of eligible Americans voted in the 2018 midterms. You don't need revolution, you need to show up. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I am swamped by "both sides!" accusations, but that is literally how it works. It's why I often use the Spanish Civil War comparison. Pick a radical side, no middle ground, no staying out of it. We are seeing more elections like this now, in US & globally. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

It's still possible to fight from the middle, from sanity, from the values and goals of the majority. But it's increasingly difficult and will only get more so the longer the major US party leaders eagerly sacrifice their credibility for attention and culture war. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

As for military weapons in civilian hands as a "defense against tyranny," it's clear to any real victim of tyranny that today the Americans most enamored of such weapons would be willing foot soldiers of an authoritarian regime, not "freedom fighters". — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I'm often asked how a democracy dies, having lived through it. Apathy by moderates intimidated by extremists in their own parties is very high on my list. "I don't like Trump, BUT..." was the GOP death knell. They refused to fight him and still do. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The Jan 6 insurrection and the Big Lie are defended by candidates with hopes of advancing in a GOP still devoted to a twice-impeached loser. Progressive Dems in safe blue seats attack moderate Dems in competitive purple districts. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

The best sales pitch for the NRA and 2nd Amendment zealots? "Defund the Police". The best chance for Dems to hold the Senate? The Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and promising a tide of religious fanaticism. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Despite the selection of the moderate Biden in the Dem primary & general election, US extremists continue to gain ground, empowering the radicals on the other side in a vicious cycle with each success. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

I usually reserve my thoughts on US domestic affairs to promoting justice and the rule of law and the values that sustain them. It's clearer today than in 2017 that these values are under attack. It is a dangerous time for the US & the world it still leads. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Although I cannot vote in the US, my family and two American children have been here for many years. I founded @Renew_Democracy in the US in 2017 because it was clear that threats to liberty & democracy weren't only coming from dictatorships, but from "inside the house". — PolitiTweet.org

Diplomatic back-and-forth still takes place on stage with Russian officials, but Putin doesn’t care about any of it. He considers it a sideshow and is surprised when others take it seriously. He cares when 1) it comes from a big boss and 2) his name is used, not “Russia”. — PolitiTweet.org
