Bernie Admits Democrats Are “Threat to Democracy” on Podcast

While appearing on comedian Andrew Schulz's popular "Flagrant" podcast, socialist Independent Senator Bernie Sanders couldn’t deny that the “Democratic Party” is undemocratic (something he experienced first hand in the 2016 primaries).

“As Democrats, we felt that we didn’t have a say on who could be president,” Schulz said. “We talk a lot about the Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy. But from the Democrat perspective — and I’m a lifelong Democrat — I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic process from its constituents. And I think they need to have some accountability for that.” 

“No argument here,” Sanders responded.

Senator Sanders agreed with co-host Akaash Singh's claim that Democrats had not held a fair primary since 2008 as Singh inquired over whether the party was a threat to the democratic process.

“Yes,” Sanders replied. “Fair enough. That is... yeah. I'm not gonna argue with that point. And that's why I'm proudly an Independent.”
