It really isn't. Sanders has expressed a set of beliefs. He calls that group of beliefs Democratic Socialism. As an espouser of those beliefs, he refers to himself as a Democratic Socialist. He exists and he believes those things. The end.That's really a linguistic concern you're addressing. He's talking about the practicality and definitional soundness of it. It's like anarcho-communists or anarcho-socialists. Just a contradictory concept.
If one wishes to make the argument that his beliefs are stupid, contradictory, or silly, go ahead. Don't say "Democratic Socialists" don't exist. It's a stupid argument and intended to inflame rather than debate.
