With less than two weeks until the Iowa Caucus, several truths have begun to appear in the hourglass’s receding sand. The illusions of goodwill and fair competition are quickly vanishing, and the lengths at which establishment Democrats are willing to traverse to hold onto power become more obvious.

Bernie Sanders, now no longer just the frumpy Jew scowling on the sidelines, is being recognized as a fundamental danger to their lifestyle. They view him as an interloper, a radical, and threat.

And they are right.

They are right to be scared, and their tactics should come as no surprise. Bernie is a threat, Bernie is dangerous. And so we become more dangerous by hitching our proverbial horses to his populist post.

Biden, still riding the wave of popularity from a series of hilarious Onion articles in the mid teens and a relation to the previous golden child, can ignore his fading margins but the pundits can’t. Warren, who’s grotesque betrayal of America’s most popular senator did nothing to boost her credibility. Mayor Pete is quickly learning that being the smartest man in the room means nothing when everyone already hates you.

The Democrats, failing to learn the lessons from the Republican’s 2016 primary loss to Donald Trump, must sit back and watch as three people scramble to pull from the same voting pool. Those too comfortable or too stupid to read the writing on the wall. The voters that earnestly believe that a return to Obama era normalcy is not only possible but preferable are being split between the spineless, hand-wringing liberals still in the race. Joe Biden offering a familiar face to smile pleasantly at while the seas acidify. Liz Warren to provide the gifted kids and spreadsheet addicts a vessel to play West Wing. And Mayor Pete’s calculated, weaponized identity politics displaying the logical endpoint of idpol without a foundation of class analysis.

If only one of these soulless ghouls was haunting the primary, then the establishment might just have a chance. But following in footsteps of Ted Cruz and John Kasich, they all hubristically think that this is their race to win.

However, those of us on the ground and in the shit are blessed with clarity. And through the fog we see the writing on the wall. Bernie Sanders is set to win this primary, and Bernie Sanders has the best chance to defeat Donald Trump in the general.

Because unlike Lyin’ Liz Wrecker Warren and Mayo Pete, Bernie Sanders is capable of identifying the rot that is killing our nation and killing our peoples. Bernie Sanders, like Donald Trump, gives the general population permission to be angry. Not saddled with the outdated notions of decorum and a reverence to the system that is literally ending the world. The only difference between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, is that Sanders provides a path through the anger. Trump simply wallows in it like the pig that he is.

So the question for establishment democrats now is no longer how do we get our guy elected. Their only goal is how to stop Bernie. It should come as no surprise that they will use every dirty tactic available to do so.

Warren, Clinton, CNN and MSNBC, the shrieking hags on The View all have begun the first wave of attacks on Sanders’ credibility. Even No Drama Obama, through the shadowy words of “Sources Close to” has begun to chime in from the political afterlife.

To those new to American Political Theater, or those naive enough to believe in Democratic talking points this may seem contradictory.

Why, if Sanders is capable of speaking to a broad coalition of voters and mathematically capable of beating Trump, are they so willing to sabotage their chance at victory?

The answer is, Bernie represents a fundamental threat to their way of life in a manner that Trump is incapable of. Trumps policies are disastrous, his rhetoric dangerous, his presence offensive, but they allow those who live in the gears of the Democratic political machine to maintain their status quo. Bernie however, has his sights aimed upward. Bernie recognizes that the liberal elite are just as, if not more dangerous than Republican Fascism.

Bernie is set to win in Iowa, New Hampshire and California. His numbers are rising in South Carolina and Nevada. Early victories will only allow him to continue to surge, and with a little bit of luck secure the delegates required to continue on to victory in November.

So before the first test, the establishment will do everything in its power to crush Sanders. And they will fail. Because foolishly, the establishment allowed their addiction to formal niceties to set an undefeatble narrative around Sanders. For years the line has been Bernie is sincere, Bernie cares, Bernie is a good dude, he just can’t win. So what happens now that he can win, that he will win?

They immediately being to renege on all of the backhanded compliments showered upon him. Bernie is now a racist, a sexist, a liar, and a cheat. But unfortunately for them, the American public does not forget that easily. Every attack on Sanders has been undone not only by a skeptical voting base, but by Bernie’s own words and actions. How could a man that has fought for civil rights and social justice his entire life suddenly be a bigot? To pull a lib trick and appropriate Black Twitter slang, we have receipts. And these receipts paint a picture that sells to the American public. In this picture is a man, who’s words, actions, and dress sense have been the same for decades. A public servant in the truest sense of the word.

And despite all of this, the establishment is willing to throw the American working class into a meat grinder to prevent his ascendancy. This is something that we must all reckon with. Bernie Sanders is the last off-ramp on the American Highway before absolute destruction. The foundation that the American Empire was built upon is cracking under its own weight. And while it would be immensely gratifying to watch it crumble, the casualties would be too large to allow it to happen.

And this isn’t to say that a Sanders presidency would act as a cure-all to the fatal ills of our society, its largely possible that once in office the crypt dwellers in the legislative branch would not enact any of his policies. But a victory for Bernie would signal a sea change in American identity, a triumph of the working class, the true beginning of a movement to rectify the sins of presidents past.

And this is what every bluecheck on Twitter is trying so hard to prevent. Because the Sanders coalition correctly identifies them as the enemy, the reason we can’t have nice things. The American working class exists in a state of perpetual free-fall just to maintain the lavish lifestyle that the elites have grown accustomed to. Bernie represents justice, and when it comes time to serve that justice hopefully Obama, Clinton and the cadre of rapists that they protect will get their fair share.

Bernie is just one man, but he is the man that the working class have decided to put its weight behind. And we must recognize that every single attack on Bernie is an attack on all of us. And we must treat these attacks with the gravity that they deserve. The establishment fears us, deservedly, we must solidify that fear. Its time to be honest with ourselves, and with our rulers. There are two options from this point on. And hiding behind niceties to obfuscate those options will not aid us in our quest for liberation.

The Democratic machine, the Republican opposition, the media, your parents, and the world at large must recognize our ultimatum.

Its Bernie or Its Violence. Your Choice.

Make no mistake, the threat of violence has been present for decades. But up until recently the violence has been one sided. The oppression of the state apparatus has ended countless souls through denial of health care, through unjust policing, through countless wars. The Republicans enable violence by courting open racists, avowed fascists, and soulless business practices. Soon it will be our turn.

Iraq, Chile, France, and countless other nations across the world have seen an explosion of protests in their streets. These protests are met with armed thugs acting towards the benefit of the ruling class, and they have fought bravely against this injustice. “A riot is the language of the unheard” said Martin Luther King, and we are giving those in power one last chance to hear us before the riots begin.

Just last week, thousands of Americans stormed the capitol in Virginia across racial, political, and ideological lines to display just what can happen when our rights are threatened. The working class needs to continue this pace, we need to make every issue as important and visible as a theoretical limit on the second amendment. And if these concessions are not granted through political processes, then direct action must be taken.

And it will get ugly. But ugliness is the price that must be payed to pull oneself free from the muck. Ugliness gets results. Ugliness brought a semi-feudal agrarian state to become the winners of the space race. Ugliness kept imperialists out of Indo-China. Ugliness is the last line of defense of those who toil against those who profit from our labor.

Its time to take the mask off, its time to fully embrace the fact that violence is not only on the table, it may be the only rational line of defense. It’s an oft-repeated line that “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.” And in this case the terror is coming squarely from the top. We will not negotiate, we will not make concessions. Because all of the concessions made in the past have left our hands empty, our planet burning, our children hopeless.

Turn “vote blue no matter who” towards those who use it against us. Paint that blue across the visage of the only man in the race that represents a better future, or face our wrath. We live in dire times, and the consequences of inaction ripple throughout the entire world. We not only owe it to ourselves, but to our brothers and sisters across the world who suffer even worse fates due to American policy.

Obama is scared, Clinton is scared, Maddow and McCain and every other worthless talking head who lives in a mansion is scared. As they should be. Give us our fair share, or suffer the consequences.

This is our last chance to hold onto the normalcy. This is the last chance for peace. We have been beaten, downtrodden and disrespected for decades. Our day is near, one way or another. Just as those in power are willing to sacrifice the working class for their garish lifestyles. We must be willing to burn the entire system down to prevent further injustice.

When an animal is caged, and abused, it is no surprise when it retaliates. And the elites must reconcile with the beast they have created. Remove our shackles, or don’t be surprised when we chew through them. Together we are strong, together we can accomplish anything. It is up to the ruling class to determine which avenue we take to reach our goals. They hold the leash, but they do not hold the power.

Lets show them what we’re made of.
