Green Party candidate Cornel West criticizes the Democratic Party, stating that they are “beyond redemption.” He also refers to Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as mere “window dressing.”
Third-party candidate Cornel West slams the Democratic Party
In a recent interview, third-party presidential candidate Cornel West, who is running in the ultra-leftist Green Party, boldly criticized the Democratic Party, declaring it to be “beyond redemption.”
West’s candidacy has sparked concerns among many Democrats, who fear that he could potentially spoil their chances by attracting votes from the party’s most fringe voters.
Sanders urges progressive unity
Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) emphasized the importance of unity within the progressive community during a Sunday interview. He urged Democrats to support Joe Biden in order to defeat President Trump or any other Republican nominee.
West responds to Sanders
Responding to Sanders’ remarks, West expressed his consistency in his beliefs.
“You know, he said that all along, and I can understand the argument. I think it’s a plausible argument. I just don’t think it’s a persuasive one,” West said. “I think that the argument he’s making means that there’s never any possibility for breaking from the corporate duopoly, that there’s never any possibility of trying to speak to the needs of poor working people.”
West criticizes the Democrats
West strongly criticized the Democrats for their failure to address crucial issues such as poverty and police brutality.
“So I think in many ways Brother Bernie is making a plausible argument, but I think deep down in his heart he knows that the Democratic Party has no fundamental intention of speaking to the needs of poor people and working people,” West continued. “They are dominated by the corporate wing, they’re dominated by the militarists when it comes to foreign policy, and that he and AOC and the others are going to be, in a certain sense, window dressing at worst and, at best, people to appeal to every four years.”
West concludes
“But the Democratic Party is beyond redemption at this point when it comes to seriously speaking to the needs of poor and working people,” he concluded.
