Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT., Compared the Democratic establishment to demonize his supporters in the 2016 elections in the way in which male podcastors are broadcast today.
Sanders spoke to Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh of the “flagrant” podcast on Monday, agreeing that the Democratic Party stole their voters with their right to participate in the democratic process. After having discussed the way in which the main appointment of 2016 was stolen from Sanders for the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Schulz asked: “could we not also say, ostensibly, there has been no primary just for the Democrats since 2008, are they not also a threat to democracy? “” He asked.
“Yes,” replied Sanders.
But another key element concerning the 2016 elections was the way in which supporters of Sanders, then called “Bernie Bros”, were condemned by the democratic establishment and the media in 2016. Singh recalled that the affirmations “have a problem of racism, a problem of misogyny” and asked: “Do you think it is a Super-Pac who behind?”
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the establishment of the Democratic Party and the “liberal elites” while speaking on the podcast.
“It was the Democrat Establishment,” replied Sanders, arguing that he had a diversified base base. “They were sitting there – we had a lot of young people, we had people of color and, you know, they create this kind of myth with the help of corporate media and all that.”
“You know that it is a bit interesting, in this note, it is during this election, the space of podcast that the Democrats largely avoided, they feel Influence in the elections And uh, they started to label us “The Podcast Bros” and said that we were sexist, and we were racist and sectarian, “said Schulz.” It is almost as if it was exactly the same strategy to get you out of there. “
“Yeah,” replied Sanders, agree that “the liberal elite” does.
The Senator of the Vermont continued by arguing that there is a clear distinction between working against “all forms of fanaticism” in relation to the “identity policy”.
“‘Are you black? Are you wonderful, are you great. Are you gay? You are the greatest human being on earth’,” said Sanders, criticizing the policy of identity.
Schulz’s comparison between the demonization of “Bernie Bros” in 2016 and “Podcast Bros” today seemed to resonate with Sanders. (Plaging p)

Sanders argued that defenders of identity policy do not ask the real question: “” What do you defend? “Are you gay?
Sanders continued: “You know, is each gay person brilliant and wonderful and brilliant? No, of course not. Everyone is a human being. So, the problem is” what you defend? “Which brings you back to what we discussed earlier. Are you going to stand with workers’ families?
