Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., agreed with comedians Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh on Monday, who argued that the Democratic Party has completely robbed their constituents of the democratic process and that the party is a threat to democracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Over the last four elections, Democrats, we felt that we didn\u2019t have a say on who could be president,” Schulz said on his “Flagrant” podcast<\/a>. “We talk a lot about the Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy. But from the Democrat perspective, and I\u2019m a lifelong Democrat, I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic process<\/a> from its constituents. And I think they need to have some accountability of that.”<\/p>\n The progressive senator agreed, adding, “no argument here.”<\/p>\n The Vermont senator has been touring the country with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour<\/a> that’s drawn large crowds.<\/p>\n CONSERVATIVES MOCK DEM RHETORIC ABOUT ‘OLIGARCHY’ AS NYC LIVING ROOM PIC OF ALEX SOROS AND ABEDIN GOES VIRAL<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Schulz said he felt the party stole the nomination from Sanders in 2016, when he narrowly lost the Democratic primary to establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, who went on to lose to Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n “And I\u2019ll be honest, it broke my heart when you supported them,” Schulz told Sanders.<\/p>\n “In the world that I live in, you’ve got a choice. And I know a lot of people, including my wife, agree with you, but you\u2019re 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.”<\/p>\n Singh posed another question to Sanders about the Democratic Party being a threat to democracy.<\/p>\n JAMES CARVILLE SAYS DEMOCRATS NEED TO STOP LETTING BERNIE SANDERS AND AOC DEFINE THE PARTY<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
