During his presidential campaign, Sen. Bernie Sanders never quite decided whether his "political revolution" could coexist with the Democratic Party or needed to overthrow it.
But for Justice Democrats` founder, liberal media personality Cenk Uygur, what seems to matter most is inflicting damage on the Democratic Party.
The group`s website features an image of a sledgehammer smashing the "D" logo of the Democratic National Committee and declares "it`s time to rebuild the Democratic Party from scratch.
This week, Justice Democrats merged operations with another anti-incumbent group founded by former Sanders aides, Brand New Congress, which started last year.
Rep. Keith Ellison, one of Sanders` most prominent allies, preached unity during his bid for the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee and is now the party`s deputy chairman.
