This wicked cool Bernie car is driving cross country

Back in the early part of the last century the IWW, the union that couldn't be bought, was sending members across the country to negotiate with people in D.C.

The AFL folks used the same transportation as the business owners. The IWW folks caught trains and hitchhiked. When some members suggested that they should spend more money on their rep's travel, it was pointed out to them that these working people, who wouldn't be caught dead riding in the same luxury as their opponent while their brothers and sisters were dying because of that same business owner's policies.

As it turns out, they negotiated just as well as their fat cat corporate brethren. And with a lot more conviction. In the end it wasn't enough, as more people took a little money to quit fighting. The business owners allied with the government and the AFL against them, jailing and murdering many, and associating many with socialism and communism to hurt them with the public. It did. And when they quit fighting, they lost.

But it was because they quit fighting. Not because they didn't take the corporate money.

I do wish he was riding around in a hand-built recycled S-10 that had the gas motor changed for batteries and an electric motor. That would start a great conversation about why the rest of us can only afford batteries that only take us 40 miles.

Even so...

I'm glad our future President Sanders doesn't have to walk.
