Things are already heating up inside of the 2020 Democrat clown bus with devout followers of Bernie Sanders already suspecting that the fix is in – again.
It was supposed to be different this time around for the geriatric socialist crank and his loyal army of bottom-up ersatz revolutionaries who were looking to capitalize on the gullibility of a younger generation that would make a deal with the devil for free stuff.
Sanders stunned the mighty Hillary Clinton in 2016 as he rocketed out of the obscurity of the party’s fringe and nearly pulled off the huge upset until the eventual nominee’s cronies at the DNC intervened to put their thumb on the scale and steal the nomination from Comrade Bernie and his energetic insurgents.
Naively hoping that not raising a major stink by denouncing the rigging of the game, the Vermont senator betrayed his own troops by puckering up and planting his pursed lips on Queen Hillary’s pasty white derriere by falling into line like a good soldier for a doomed cause whose loyalty would one day be rewarded.
But Bernie was wrong and just as they did with Hillary, the party establishment and their media allies are doing the exact same thing with former Vice President Joe Biden who has all but been officially crowned while the Sandernistas have been left to stew.
And the pot is already boiling with mounting accusations that Sanders is being done dirty, dissed by big media and hung out to dry like a cheap suit and Bernie-bots are not simply going to go along to get along this time around risking a major split in the Democratic party.

Via The Washington Times, “Bernie backers see DNC-media sabotage in Biden surge: ‘It’s the same thing all over again'”:
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.
Another Bernie loyalist who believes that the fix is in is Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks and co-founder of the radically socialist Justice Democrats, the same organization that put a pox on America by cultivating the three-headed monster of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar.
The conspiracy-mongering Uygur who has been sniffing the Russian collusion crazy glue for the last two years is hollering that the Democratic primary is being “rigged” against communists progressives who are struggling to gain traction in the Biden-friendly media.

According to a column by Uygur that was just published in The Hill, “Media blockade on progressives is helping rig the Democratic primaries again”:
If there are 200 on-air news personalities on cable news, it would be surprising if more than two voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2016. There is almost universal disdain for Sanders on television and in print. Anyone who denies that and says that Sanders gets us much positive coverage as everyone else is living in an alternate reality. Does anyone in their right mind really think that Sanders is treated the same as the other candidates? Of course not.
Just in the last two weeks, there have been two hatchet jobs on him in The New York Times and Politico. But that’s par for the course and happens pretty much every week. If there’s ever a positive article about Sanders, it’s passed around like wildfire online because it’s so shocking that you have to share it with your friends like other online curiosities that are hard to believe.
If you can’t see the disparity between the coverage of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D), which is nearly universally fawning and obsequious, and the coverage of Sanders, which is universally contemptuous and disdainful, you’re so biased you can’t even see your own bias.
The people on TV don’t like Sanders because he represents change and they got into their positions of power in this current system — and the last thing they want to do is change it. These television anchors claim they have no perspective. Think about how absurd that claim is. Of course you have a perspective — it’s just that you have privileged your own perspective so much that you assume that it must be the norm for everyone. In reality, that is the deepest bias you can have.
Uygur’s screed is blistering and notable for not only his calling BS on the media-created gay house pet “Mayor Pete” but also for his denunciation of a corrupt press – although late in the piece he engages in a feat of triangulation of Clintonian proportions by claiming that his criticism is less than President Trump’s correctly pointing out that they are the “enemy” of the people.
The party establishment is fat and sassy now that barring a major health issue or massive scandal that Sleepy Joe has the nomination already sewn up but they may want to consider that guys like Uygur and his Justice Democrat fanatics may reach a point where they feel that they need to destroy the party in order to save it.
Better stock up on popcorn folks, this primary is going to be a doozy!
