Sen. Bernard Sanders grassroots activists fear a repeat of 2016 in next years 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. Bidens 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. Thats what it feels like. Its 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 partys 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 partys nominee ahead of the general election contest against President Trump.

There is no doubt that the MSM is putting their thumb on the scale, but there is an opportunity for conservatives to really stir the pot.
Democratic debate criteria is 130000 individual donors, so for the low cost of $25.00 ($1 per candidate) we can put all of them over that threshold.
Then all that’s left is to get their approval over 1%.
The BATTLE ROYALE could be entertaining.
Patsy dope. Not even a free beach house as a parting gift this time.
I certainly hope Bernie holds out for a bigger payoff this time. He obviously enjoys the lovely parting gifts. What a putz.
aint socialism grande bernie? Embrace the suck- You push for radical leftie ideology- so stop whining when radical lefties turn around and do what they do best- bite you when you aint looking! Again- enjoy your socialist ideology-
> He isnt a Democrat. Why do they feel the DNC should support him? <
I’ve had some conversations about that with Democrat friends of mine. “Bernie is not a Democrat,” they say.
My response: In countries like the old Soviet Union, party membership was restricted. You had to apply for membership. Sometimes you got it. Sometimes you didn’t.
America shouldn’t be like that. If you want to be a Democrat, then you are a Democrat. And if you want to be an Independent today, and Democrat tomorrow, that should be okay too.
In presidential election years, Bernie calls himself a Democrat. Let the primary voters rule on that, not the party bosses.
Did Bernie grope little girls?
He's not in the party. He is a dimrat of convenience, only surfacing every four year election cycle.
I have mixed feelings.
I think Bernie supporters are as much against the Deep State as we are, albeit on the other side of the political spectrum.
LOL! Gullible moron.
"...if they back the guy who screwed them last time...oh well"
Best news I’ve heard all day. Bernie supporters please say home on election day as a protest.
Great cat!
They are definitely against the Obama/Clinton deep state, but would implement the global marxist deep state in a hot moment if given the opportunity.
True, but if we could temporarily ally with Stalin to defeat a greater enemy, I suppose we could find some common ground for now.
Meet the new boss....
You are gonna love his VP.....
Biden might be the only person on the planet stupid enough to choose Hillary for his VP. Lol.
Bernie backers are communists and idiots.
Bernie backers are the DNC’s b**ch punks.
Bernie backers should just break off and join the CPUSA.
Splitting the vote by running Indy or the Bernie supporters staying home accomplishes the same end. Him running as an Indy is preferable, because it guarantees a split vote.
Thanks Red Badger. I'm sure there's Russian collusion behind the whole thing. LOL!
Time to start a party that agrees with your politics, Bernie.
The Commie Party.
