Getting Pretty Crowded Under the "Anyone But Hillary" Bus. Warning! Graphics!

So, someone says that Elizabeth Warren agreed with something Clinton said, and (predictably) someone else shows up to remind us that Warren used to be a Republican. Poor Elizabeth Warren! Not so long ago, you were the hope of the Anyone But Clinton campaign. And now, you too have been thrown under the “Anyone But Hillary” bus. Must be getting pretty crowded under there. Let's take a look. Hmm. I see....

Wow! Can I get an invitation? I wanna go under the bus, too.

DU for a couple of days. I've returned to discover that I have been blocked from posting in the Bernie Sanders group.



Does this mean that I'm now under the bus too? I think that I like the company very much.

There will be many more before the primaries are over. I just wonder what is going to happen if Hillary wins, and then Bernie gives his support to her?

who does not like her so much. See how happy he looks? Only time he smiled in the debate was when he shook hands with Clinton. Bernie knows that she is not the enemy. She ought to put him in charge of the SEC.

He's free to think she's the best choice...I will consider him to be wrong about that too. It's not the only or the first thing we've disagreed on.

He thinks Hillary is a good person...He's wrong IMO about that.

I have had disagreements with good friends and family. I still maintain a great relationship with them all. Nobody has been chucked under any buses.

There's a lot to be said for "agree to disagree."

With by lifelong wingnut best friend, we either joke about our differences, debate them without taking it personally, or - most often -- just enjoy each others company.

I also have friends who support Clinton. But we manage to get along fine otherwise.

You can add Maddow and EW to your list. I knew they were going to turn on Warren at some point but was surprised how harsh many of the comments were about Maddow. Don't think all of this throwing people under the bus is being done in honest. We have a number of trolls trying to out purity one and other and to make Sanders and the whole party look bad. When you have someone posting up to five email stories a day, most from right wing sources, posting Gowdy fabricated stories as if they are the truth after they know it is false, and claiming POC are too stupid to vote or that they are suffering from Stockholm because they support a progressive; you are looking at the definition of a right wing troll. These are people trying desperately to make progressives look bad.
