Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and comedians Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh discussed on Monday’s, May 19, “Flagrant” podcast that the Democratic Party poses a threat to democracy due to unfair primaries since 2008. This assessment stems from claims that party leaders rigged primaries, sidelined working-class voters and relied excessively on wealthy donors and consultants.


Sanders said the Democratic establishment blocks grassroots movements, and despite reluctantly endorsing Hillary Clinton in 2016, he now identifies proudly as an independent. He explained, “That’s why I’m proudly an independent,” and warned that “burning it down” would harm essentials such as schools and children’s food access.


Their critique underscores ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party before the 2024 election, highlighting concerns on party unity and leadership influence.
