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.

AOC herself has been distinctly coy

Fortunately, we (the conservatives) have a deep bench.

So those Antifa idiots who are burning sh*t down are equated to the small business people at the core of the Tea Party? Got it!

Hell of a lot of fear mongering for people who can’t run a riot without DNC financing.

“If Biden wins, she is running for VP next time.”

She’s too stupid to know what a VP is much less spell it.

British Commander General Thomas Gage's 1775 Offer of Amnesty----(from Digital History no.158)

This proclamation offers a pardon to all Bostonians except John Hancock and Samuel Adams.... this amnesty proclamation badly backfired. Not only did loyalists fail to flock to the British side, but many previously apathetic colonists were repelled by the document's patronizing tone. After the battles at Lexington and Concord, the miliitas of Massachusetts and other New England colonies surrounded Boston to tie down the British troops.

October 13 2024 she will be 35. She is eligible on that date.

Since 0bama and Pelosi were able to ignore the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution, why should they give a fig about other parts of the foundational law of the country?

But she meets the criteria.

I am not suggesting it’s a good idea. I am just saying it’s legal.

It’s a poster of a work called “Sitting Duck” by Michael Bedard. I have one framed that I got years ago and hope to put up soon in my new place in Texas.

After the election. Pelosi and her mustache petes against Ocasio Cortez and the radical left. Going to get very ugly.

Last night on Gutfeld, Charlie Hurt said that Trump has pretty much “broken” the Democrats already. If he wins on Tuesday the party will be broken for years to come.

Thank You, God, for President Trump!

Isn’t amazing that a few short years ago...we laughed about AOC? Now she is an up and coming star of the party leadership? A barmaid with little understanding of the Constitution of We the People...a democrat leader? But then the entire party wants to get rid of the document anyway, so why should she be concerned with such a trifling matter.
