    Third-party presidential candidate Cornel West, who is running in the ultra-leftist Green Party, slammed the Democratic Party in an interview this week as being "beyond redemption."

    West is being viewed by many Democrats as a potential spoiler for the party since he could siphon away votes from the Democrat's presidential nominee by appealing to the most fringe voters in the party.

    Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said during an interview on Sunday that Democrats have to "bring the entire progressive community to defeat Trump or whoever the Republican nominee will be [and] support Biden."

    West responded to Sanders' remarks in an interview, saying that he was being "consistent" 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 said that the Democrats won't touch issues like "poverty and intense 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," he 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."

    "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.
