Sanders Tells Carville to Form Own Party Amid Fears of 'Extremism' Within Dem Party

Senator Bernie Sanders urged James Carville to start his own party rather than join the Democrats, amid tensions between moderates warning against embracing extremism within the party's left wing.

Sen. Bernie Sanders defended streaming personality Hasan Piker while dismissing criticism from moderate Democrats, who are warning against 'embracing extremism' within the party by allowing far-left figures like Piker alongside established strategists like James Carville. Moderates fear that this approach will alienate swing voters and harm the party's chances in elections. Sanders said he won't dictate who joins his camp and instead told Carville to start his own party if he disagrees with him. The move is seen as a sign of escalating tensions within the Democratic Party over its leftward shift.
