Bernie Sanders Slams the “Failure” of the Democratic Party

On Wednesday, Bernie Sanders spoke out and shared his thoughts about the Democratic Party, reports The Hill.

Sanders on the Democratic Party

The failed, former Presidential candidate had some very harsh words for the history of the Democratic Party. His statements read as follows:

“The business model, if you like, of the Democratic Party for the last 15 years or so [was] a failure. Now, what happened — people sometimes don’t see that because of the charismatic individual named Barack Obama who won the presidency in 2008 and 2012. He was obviously an extraordinary candidate, brilliant man. But behind that reality, over the last 10 years, Democrats have lost about 1,000 seats in state legislatures all across this country.”

Criticism of the Democratic Party

Bernie Sanders is not the first critic of the Democratic Party, even by far. Many Americans have slammed the politics, leaders, and policies of the leftist party. However, the reasons and roots of the Democratic Party’s condemnation greatly vary.
