Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ grassroots activists fear a repeat of 2016 in next year’s Democratic primary — this time, instead of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, they see the party establishment rallying around former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in an effort to deny their candidate the nomination.
For hardcore Sanders supporters, Mr. Biden’s early domination of the race smacks of 2016, when the Democratic National Committee attempted to sabotage Mr. Sanders and clear the way to the nomination for Mrs. Clinton.
“The mainstream media and the DNC are colluding against the American people. That’s what it feels like. It’s the same thing all over again,” said Massachusetts neuroscientist Laurie Cestnick, a Sanders supporter who founded Occupy DNC to protest the nomination of Mrs. Clinton at the party’s 2016 convention in Philadelphia.
If they feel jilted again, Ms. Cestnick and fellow activists say they are not afraid to stage another revolt at the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, even if doing so damages the party’s nominee ahead of the general election contest against President Trump.

Ditch the party.
Note to GOP-e.
Minneapolis is Bernie Country.

He’s independent Internationalst-Socialist except when be affiliates as a Democrat to run for president
The DNC will take Bernie AND his supporters down... they must be smart enough to know Democrats rig the game... right?
We should encourage them to split....................
I wonder just how much popcorn is it safe to eat?
They are political virgins..................
That Bernie needs another vacation home?
(chuckle)
Well, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
Check in his closet, he probably has a private server there he is using...
Yeah. He should start a new party. Commies of America. That way their votes would be split. We can only hope.
Bernie Bots are ultra entitled. He isn’t a Democrat. Why do they feel the DNC should support him?
Commies ride in the back of the DNC bus.
Bernie needs to make a go of it as a 3d party candidate.
he could take AOC and all of the other “like minded” people out of the DNC.
He has to know he is going to get hosed, why not go big, go 3rd party?
I’d love to see Bernie run as a Greenie, Socialist, Commie, whatever and split the RAT vote.
the 6 million dollar man complains ‘its not fair’ to be cheated like he cheated america out of good money gone to bad ideas like his Hypocritical Socialism. worse than a turd, at least a turd with recycle into nature, not so with naziism.
Ah, but which one? Champagne socialist, limosine lib, Bernie, has so many.
I went to Asheville NC last Saturday. Asheville is the land of fruits and nuts and Subarus.
The cars are sometimes plastered with all kinds of ridiculous bumper stickers and labels.
There were several very obvious “BERNIE” strips.
I saw no Biden stickers
Which is why all Bernie voters/supporters/lovers should not vote in 2020, after the DNC shafts Bernie again.
