Bernie Sanders on How the Democratic 'Establishment' Took Him Out of the Presidential Race
Bernie Sanders had a surprise appearance on the Theo Von podcast in which he spoke a lot about issues like healthcare, but was also asked about how democratic and fair the races in 2020 for president were. When asked about how the establishment had treated him and if the elections were fair, here's what he said:
"That's what happens when you take on the establishments. What happened is we won the first three primaries, and then the establishment got very, very nervous...and they said, 'Hey, it would be a good idea if you dropped out'...So if you're asking me, are we a democracy? In one sense, we are...I use the term oligarchy. An oligarchy is a society where small numbers of very wealthy people control the economic and political life of the country. I think we are moving rapidly in that direction."
In 2020, Bernie Sanders started to overwhelmingly lead in February, and right before Super Tuesday the corporate democrats coalesced around Biden to stop Bernie as he was the best candidate at the moment to defeat Bernie after South Carolina was a blowout in favor of Biden, largely as a result of Clyburn's help.
It's hard to think about what would have happened if the establishment doesn't intervene, as they wouldn't have won the race and Bernie Sanders likely would be president today, running for re-election. We were so close to getting the victory, but the establishment stopped him.
