As the Democrat primary race continues to play out, various factions of the party have some concerns. More specifically, supporters of Bernie Sanders worry that the Democrat establishment is colluding against him.
This is a scenario which played out during the 2016 election when Democrats afforded Hillary Clinton a vast amount of superdelegates. Months later, Americans would learn that establishment Democrats purposefully sabotaged Sanders’ chances of winning the nomination; this subsequent revelation arrived after the exposure of various Wikileaks emails.
Why do Progressives Believe the Democrat Establishment is Against Sanders?
In a nutshell, the progressives who support Sanders believe that polls showing frontrunner Biden in the lead may be doctored.

The Democrat establishment’s past sabotage of Bernie Sanders doesn’t put the minds of progressives at ease either.
Occupy DNC founder and Sanders supporter Laurie Cestnick explained why Democrats believe Sanders is facing in-party collusion yet again.
