Progressives sharpening knives for Dem ‘bloodbath’ if Biden loses
New York Post ^ | October 31, 2020 | Jon Levine

Progressives, socialists and Bernie Bros are gearing up for war should Joe Biden fall short of his quest to unseat President Trump in Tuesday’s election.

“You would see a complete repudiation of the Democratic establishment as we know it,” said Jabari Brisport, 33, a Democratic Socialist-backed candidate for state Senate expected to easily win a Brooklyn seat next week. “The Democratic establishment is not working for everyday people.”

Brisport said a Biden loss would completely discredit the moderate wing of the party, paving the way for more successful insurgents like himself.

“It’s going to be the mirror image of what happened to the Republican party in the Obama years. You had the tea party, just like progressive insurgents, and then when Obama won a second term the Republican party went haywire on the inside and ate its own,” he said.

Unlike the tea party, a progressive revolution would be “a force for good,” said the true-believer Brisport.

One senior official at a Democratic Political Action Committee was blunter.

“If Biden loses it’s going to be a f–king bloodbath. There’s no other way to put it,” he said. “Heads will roll. It’s going to be ugly.”

Progressives hope that any internal strife would also strengthen the hand of some of their brightest congressional stars, like Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Sen. Chuck Schumer is up for re-election in 2022 and there have long been whispers that Ocasio-Cortez may seek to oust him in a primary. Schumer, a New York moderate with close Wall Street ties, is the kind of pol that makes AOC’s lefty base salivate.

“Because of how badly they did with the Impeachment Hoax, AOC will primary Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and win,” Trump predicted in February.

The perceived solution to the woes that beset the Democratic Party will be to move even FURTHER left?

And I think this will backfire, bigly. The election will be over. Americans will turn a page and the Left will show their collective behinds. It will be a great opportunity for Trump to say, "See America, Aren't you glad you voted for me?"

Well of course... the entire parade of violence since Zero presided over the Ferguson riots has been all about the struggle for control of the DNC. The Demagogic Party is nothing but a collection of violent rival street gangs. Thanks billorites.

so many minority groups are already leaving the left or not voting for biden because even they realize biden and kamala are extreme left radicals that will damage this country-

obamama is on right now in a desperate bid to help biden, but wow- is he angry sounding right now- screaming at the 5 or so people listening there- what an angry man he is=-

Yes, and so have Catholics and other nominal Christians. Those who profess one faith and practice another are the kind who do.

They will go further Left no matter what happens. If “moderate” Democrats resist, they will be removed. The commies are now the main force in the party.

I am not advocating that/her.

I am merely looking down the road past next week.

The campaign never ends.

The Left thinks that, because we are slow to anger, we have no temper.

They are making a mistake.

Eat a bag of dicks (if you haven't already) you shit smear. The Tea party was made up of common American patriots, not communist boot lickers like you.
