We're gonna need a BIGGER bus! [View all]

With all this chatter about
"throwing people under the bus"
We are going to need
a much BIGGER BUS!

Enough is enough, and the
general public gets it.

There is a populist revolution
coming and many establishment
figures will be left behind.

The DLC/3rd-Way will stop
at nothing to derail our movement.

We have already witnessed:

Luis Gutierrez smear Bernie Sanders on Immigration



Claire Mccaskill smear Bernie Sanders as a "Socialist"
“I think that the media is giving Bernie a pass right now,” McCaskill said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I very rarely read in any coverage of Bernie that he’s a socialist. I think everybody wants a fight and I think they are not really giving the same scrutiny to Bernie Sanders that they’re giving to, certainly, Hillary Clinton and the other candidates.”

Barnie Frank dismisses Elizabeth Warren
with his straw man argument.
Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) says Sen. Elizabeth Warren is wrong for seeking to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, a Great Depression-era law that divided commercial and investment banking, as a means to break up the biggest banks.

Frank co-authored the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law and now sits on the board of directors at Signature Bank

Each time those 3rd-Way democrats
were challenged for their unconscionable
remarks their defenders cried out that we
we "throwing them under the bus"!!!11!11!1111!!!

Well, maybe we're gonna need a bigger bus?
