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.

“Cenk Uygur promised us a bloodbath last time.”
And did he ever have to eat some crow. Will TYT even be doing a show this year? “Brace for impact!” LOL!
“And they (secular Jews) ignore the antisemitism of the left.”
Some day they won’t be able to ignore it, and it’ll be too late.
Either way they act this way. Communists are violent, murderous thugs.
