The political firebrand, long estranged from Democrats, fears fascism will be on the ballot in 2024 and it must be defeated.
The liberal activist Ralph Nader still remembers nearly the exact words Joe Biden used to banish him from the U.S. Senate 23 years ago, after Nader’s Green Party presidential bid in 2000 won 97,000 votes in Florida.“Ralph Nader is not going to be welcome anywhere near the corridors,” then-senator Biden had declared, blaming the consumer advocate for Democrat Al Gore’s defeat to Republican George W. Bush.
“I know the difference between fascism and autocracy, and I’ll take autocracy any time,” Nader said in a recent telephone interview. “Fascism is what the GOP is the architecture of, and autocracy is what the Democrats are practitioners of. But autocracy leaves an opening. They don’t suppress votes. They don’t suppress free speech.”
But he still reads the major papers carefully every day and likes to track down the phone numbers of Democratic knife fighters he feels are wielding dull blades. “I’ll take the first part about what he said as an endorsement,” Kucinich said lightly, knowing it was not. “I’ll take the second part of what he said as a message from a friend.”

Then on Tuesday, the judge presiding over New York Attorney General Tish James’ civil fraud case will rule on motions that could narrow or even dismiss that case.
