Far-left presidential hopeful Cornel West slammed the Democratic Party on Tuesday as being “beyond redemption” due to its inability to meet the “needs of poor people and working people.”
The 70-year-old Green Party candidate was asked in an interview with The Hill’s Rising about his longtime colleague Bernie Sanders’s endorsement of President Joe Biden, claiming he is the only candidate who can “preserve American democracy” as Donald Trump runs for a second time.
“I think that Brother Bernie’s being consistent,” West replied. “You know, he said that all along and I can understand the argument.
“I think it’s a plausible argument,” he explained. “I just don’t think it’s a persuasive one.”
“I think that the argument he’s making means that there’s never any possibility for breaking the corporate duopoly, that there’s never any possibility of trying to speak to the needs of the poor working people,” West continued, before speaking about his experience on the campaign trail.
