During the Democratic presidential primary elections, Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste was an unwavering supporter of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. In the spring, Droste campaigned at Columbia University and NYU on Sanders’ behalf. Grizzly Bear also performed at one of his rallies in Brooklyn. At the show, they modified the lyrics to “Knife,” so Droste sang “can’t you feel the Bern?” In June, after Hillary Clinton sealed the Democratic nomination and Sanders left the race, Droste joined fellow Sanders supporter Ezra Koenig on his Beats 1 show to discuss life after Bernie. At the time, he said voting for Clinton was “a tough trigger to pull,” but conceded that he does not advocate voter abstention “even if you’re not excited about the candidate.”

Following last night’s presidential debate between Clinton and Republic nominee Donald Trump, Droste has voiced his support for Hillary Clinton, declaring “#imwithher” in a post on his Instagram. He praised her “grace and restraint” during the debate, calling her a “GOD” compared to Trump, whom he called “disgusting,” as well as a “racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic hate monger.” He continued that voting for him or a third party candidate is “essentially enabling the dismantling of rights and oppression of all POC, LGBTQ people and WOMEN.” Droste admitted that he will always love Sanders and disagrees with Clinton on certain issues, but he said “she is strong” and “what we need.” Read Ed Droste’s full note below.

Many musicians have declared their opposition to Donald Trump in recent months. The White Stripes have been selling “Icky Trump” t-shirts after a pro-Trump video that uses one of their songs surfaced. Kanye West producer Mike Dean sampled Trump’s lewd 2005 comments on a new track aimed against the candidate. YG’s latest album Still Brazy includes the song “FDT” (short for “Fuck Donald Trump”), and he recruited Macklemore and G-Eazy for its remix; YG also beat up a Trump piñata at a concert. The Roots mocked Trump on “Fallon.” Arcade Fire’s Win Butler bashed Trump in a recent lecture. Bruce Springsteen dedicated a song to an anti-Trump concertgoer. And like YG, Neil Young told Donald Trump, “fuck you.”
