In a recent episode of the Flagrant podcast, Senator Bernie Sanders joined comedian Andrew Schulz to deliver a critical assessment of the Democratic Party. Sanders and Schulz discussed how the party has distanced itself from its constituents, alleging a lack of democratic process in candidate selection. Schulz expressed disappointment over Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton in 2016, implying a betrayal of democratic principles. Sanders clarified his reluctant choice between Clinton and Trump, emphasizing a need for accountability within the party. The dialogue portrays the Democratic Party as potentially undermining democracy, evidenced by a lack of fair primaries since 2008.
We talk a lot about the Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy. But from the Democrat perspective... I felt like the Democratic party completely removed the democratic process from its constituents.
In the world that I live in you're down to a choice, Sanders said. Is it going to be Hillary Clinton? Or is it going to be Donald Trump? Not a great choice.
