Andrew Schulz

You might not know the name. But I bet you recognize what Kendrick said about him:

Don't let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that's law

I know propaganda work for them, and fuck whoever that's close to them

But Bernie's always went to where all the earballs are, he's just trying to get the message out.

And I think it's important to point out by "party" Bernie is talking about elected politicians in leadership positions, not the DNC.

Sanders echoed his woes, venting that even after losing the 2024 election, his colleagues still “won’t listen” to him about how to appeal to voters.

Also:

Singh interjected with another question: “But could we not also say, if there hasn’t been a fair primary for the Democrats since 2008, are they not also a threat to democracy?”

“Fair enough,” Sanders answered. “I’m not gonna argue with that.”

First off, the headline wasn't Bernie's words, he was just moving on from something a rightwing podcaster had said.

2008 wasn't a fair primary, Obama just won in spite of it. The DNC being biased against him not only in the primary but the general is why Obama didn't appoint a DNC chair, so the neoliberals maintained their death grip on the DNC till just a few months ago.

But Obama refusing to nominate a chair was probably his biggest mistake, one we're still paying for.

Also important to note that Bernie defends voting for Democrats in this interview.

“Because it’s easy to say,” said Sanders. “But ‘burning it down’ means children will not have food to eat. The schools will deteriorate. People will not have healthcare. I’m an elected official. I’ve got to represent the people. I can’t turn my back on them.”

Like Nina Turner said...

“It’s like saying to somebody, ‘You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you’ve got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing,’” about the choice between Biden and Trump. “It’s still shit.”
