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.”
I mean, one was a putrid diarrhea shit and the other was a high fiber diet log tho
Yeah, had that part in to begin with but figured it was already too long for people to read all of it.
I’m not gonna watch the interview because I have more issues with Schulz than just what Kendrick was talking about.
But this wasn’t just twisting Bernie’s words like normal, there’s a mountain of difference between “I agree” and “I’m not going to argue that”.
Like, if trump got life imprisonment for killing Santa, I’m not gonna argue with it, but that’s not the same as agreeing he did it.
Can you explain the Obama not appointing a DNC chair part?
When a Dem wins the general, they “nominate” a chair to the DNC, and the DNC could technically go against it, but the vote is largely performative.
When a Republican wins, there’s no nomination and they just vote.
Obama didn’t nominate anyone, and the entrenched neoliberals held on like they did in 2016.
That’s why it’s so huge that when the DNC held a vote again, they went for the guy who doesn’t show any bias and locked down a purple state into a state filled with some of our most progressive politicians. They could have went back to the neoliberals like they have for decades, but they didnt.
The DNC learned their lesson, we’re going to get a fair primary, which means the general will be a cakewalk
Also why there’s a huge push from mainstream media against the DNC, they’re already trying to depress turnout in the Dem primary in 3 years, because they’d rather risk a Republican than a progressive.
Don’t fall for it
He isn’t wrong. If they hadn’t pushed a senile 81 year old incumbent leader upon us as their candidate, in a blatant attempt to parachute an unpopular vice president into power once the 25th Amendment had to inevitably be invoked, then we would never have had a second Trump term.
Biden should never have ran for a second term, and allowed time for the Democrats to field a decent candidate for the White House. The fact that Harris literally lost to somebody who tried to stir up an insurrection against Congress four years ago says it all.
Harris didn’t lose. Trump didn’t win. They stole the election through every single means available. There is clear data that shows they tried it in 2020, and failed. They perfected it in 2024. “If I win you’ll never need to vote again.” “Elon knows sic. [everything] about the machines, he’ll make sure we win.”
Voting won’t save us now. Self defense and community defense are all we have left. The system has been stolen by the ultra rich, and they are gleefully enacting as much violence against us all as they want, because they “know” they don’t have to listen to us anymore.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
How do you complain about an old man in power while asking for Bernie? As a non American I don’t comprehend this
He is the singular exception to all of our complaints about age, although we do still complain about his age. He gets a pass because he’s been doing the work for decades.
I agree with him, but that doesn’t mean I think he should be president. While I really like the idea of him as president in theory, I do feel that he is too old and that there are too many risks associated with that. We should have age limits regardless of who’s running. But I think he’d make a great advisor to a president regardless—that way if he takes a turn for the worse it doesn’t put the country in any sort of jeopardy.
I would so be up for president AOC with VP Bernie
No one is asking for Bernie as president anymore-- he’s clearly too old. But we like his speeches and party leadership.
Bernie is a whole lot more compos mentis than Biden ever was.
The right time to elect him would’ve been 2016…
It’s arguing in bad faith
They don’t have a legitimate reason for their candidate over a different one so they just repeat fox news talking points
The episode opened with Schulz introducing Sanders as having been “mocked, sidelined, and betrayed—and that’s just by his own party,”
Well that’s the thing, the Democrats aren’t “his own party”. Sanders is totally OK with being an Independent right up until it comes time to run for President.
The DNC saw/see him as an outsider, not a Democrat, which is also a fair statement.
I didn’t read the article or listen to podcast. Just came to say 2 party system doesn’t work. Thank you. Cheers.
Worked pretty well for the capitalists and fascists.
More Independents In Congress 2026
Yeah a little too late Bernie. You’ll tell us to vote for Gavin Newsom/Liz Cheney 2028 as well. The modern Dem party is an enrichment cult.
He’s absolutely right with this current Democratic party and it’s shitty leadership.
Nothing like clickbait headlines using a right-wing podcaster to put words in Bernie’s mouth.
Oh, Return2Ozma? Who would’ve guessed.
Bernie, a notorious independent.
Ew is this more ‘but both sides’ crap?
Criticizing the DNC for their repeated, deliberate failings, or the consequences thereof, is not “both-siding”. The lesser evil doesn’t get a pass for being lesser, especially when it could be doing much, much more to combat the obvious greater evil, but chooses not to.
This isn’t a problem with the dems.
This is a problem with voters who fucked this up and then pathetically blame things that aren’t themselves. Dems can’t bail you out if you don’t vote them to fix it. So blaming them now is futile.
Grow the fuck in and Own your fuck up.
