This is who was tossed under the Bernie bus by Bernie fans just this week alone.

Revolutions always always always eventually devour their own, as purification's and purity tests continue, it guarantee's the revolution factions off forever, continually splintering, never able to build coalitions. Solidarity becomes a strictly exclusive club, no inclusion, no unity.

Your enemy isnt someone who agrees with you 95% of the time, those are called allies.

When youre tossing Elizabeth Warren, Barbara Boxer, Kamala Harris, and Rachel Maddow under the bus, perhaps you need to do some soul searching.

UPDATE #1: Edited to add Rachel Maddow. That was quick. Im sure theres more to come. Remember: revolutions, even fake ones, always always always devour their own. Stay tuned.

1. Do you know anything about Kamala Harris?

I just voted and after some research decided she is a good candidate - so I voted for her! Not sure which Bernie supporters are throwing any of these fine women under the bus.

Boxer opted not to run this year on her own. And Elizabeth Warren is still my hero!

Maybe you should check your stories for Bernie supporters and who they support....rather than painting us all with the same brush.

2. Sanders didn't endorse Kamala Harris

So you really wasted your vote right there. You really would have been better off leaving the Senate line blank, because it's a betrayal of Sanders to vote for a candidate that hasn't even campaigned for him.

In all seriousness, that was a good choice for Senate. Harris will do a good job for us in the Senate should she be elected.

[JaneyVee]

5. I hope this is sarcasm.

[KingFlorez]

7. It was. I should have used the tag.

[Throd]

37. I prefer Sanchez.

[truedelphi]

38. Kamela was a conservative neo con of a Democrat, who was definitely not for pot.

Maybe she changed her mind, but last time she was on the ballot, I avoided voting for her.

As would anyone who thinks medicinal pot is good, and recreational pot is A-Okay too.

We don't have the money to put everyone in an jobs apprenticeship program or college for free, so why should we lock everyone up for smoking dope?

(Every 39 minutes, someone in "liberal" California is arrested for pot.)

[msongs]

3. these 3 women are all DEMOCRATS. does the sanders crowd have problems with that? nt

[peggysue2]

12. Obviously

Unless they're kneeling at the altar of St Bernard, they are not worthy.

[doc03]

4. Doesn't matter who you are you don't support Bernie it is the bus. n/t

[YouDig]

6. Reminds me of the Russian Revolution. Even Trotsky had to go eventually. No thanks.

[whatchamacallit]

8. Who tossed EW "under the bus"?

[JaneyVee]

9. Liz was briefly back under the bus this week...

She vowed to fight to make sure Trump never got into the white house and bernie fans on social media took that to mean helping hillary win since she was tossed under the bus after not endorsing bernie in MA primary.

[whatchamacallit]

10. I don't see that around here

with Warren anyway. I tossed Boxer this morning tho after her foul speech in NV.

[Eric J in MN]

29. 'Bernie fans on social media' isn't specific.

Did anyone noteworthy criticize Elizabeth Warren?

[Kittycat]

32. No. But Clinton fans are cool with crony republicanism tacitics

Game play, fundraising and politics now (free stuff, attacking the social safety net, war, etc). So all true liberal ideals and liberals, under the bus. I had someone only here less than a month try to call me a fake a democrat last night. My eyes are just stuck on eyeroll at this point.

[Meteor Man]

11. Explain threw under the bus

I keep getting told that bald assertions must be supported by links at DU.

Some anonymous so called Bernie supporters made critical statements somewhere on the internets?

Is it DU or the DNC that is demanding blind obediance?

[Meteor Man]

13. Crickets

I stopped by Raw Story, Salon, Huff Post, Dkos and Buzzflash.

Somebody called Boxer a bitch and crickets. Where's the beef?

[LisaM]

26. I can't believe all the name's Boxer has been called

right here in this site. Three that come to mind are "unhinged", "a joke", and "irrelevant". It really pisses me off.

[Skwmom]

14. This whole thrown under the bus seems like a grade school taunt.

[reddread]

15. isnt everything?

[JaneyVee]

16. Aww, you'll be ok.

[tandem5]

17. I hope Sandra Bullock gets thrown off next then it will all be over once it slows below 55.

[JaneyVee]

18. ???

[tandem5]

31. 'cause, you know, then nobody will be driving the bus and it will slow and the bomb Dennis Hopper

set will go off and then no more bus with which to throw people under (and no I don't care what happened to Keanu Reeves).

[Nonhlanhla]

33. Haha! Good one!

Can I keep Keanu Reeves?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. You forgot another casualty of the "revolution"

Dolores Huerta.

[JaneyVee]

23. The list is far too long, this was just this week alone.

They also went after Rep John Lewis, Delores Huerta, Gloria Steinem, Jim Obergefell, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, HRC, Unions, Environmental groups, Mothers whose kids were killed by guns, even Demi Lovato and Katy Perry felt the wrath.

Stole campaign data, posed as union workers, used fake endorsements on mailers, etc.

All to coddle an ineffective 74yr old socialist from Vermont.

Not my revolution. I stand with our allies.

[bigtree]

25. .

[oasis]

43. Peoples hero,Dolores Huerta, gets brow beaten by Susan Sarandon in

a disgusting display of arrogance and entitlement.

[Prism]

20. I'm a Bernie fan. I like all three.

So, where does that put me?

And I really, really love Kamala. Amazing woman.

[auntpurl]

21. Really looking forward to the moment

Bernie fails the purity test. That'll be fun.

But seriously, I actually find the thuggish jackbooted "you're either with us or you're THE ENEMY" behaviour of some Bernie supporters quite frightening. As much as Bernie supporters hate when we say it, I see FAR more in common between the more extreme Bernie supporters and Trump supporters (in their attitudes, not their politics) than I do Bernie and Hillary supporters. You'd think that would give them pause.

There are people on this very website who have always been peaceful pleasant people (at least on here) and who I am very surprised are happy to align themselves with a campaign this violent and misogynistic. I'd be embarrassed to be aligned with a political campaign who has as one of its public faces a red-faced thug who screams "Who gives a shit, BITCH?" at a sitting Democratic Senator.

We are Democrats. We're supposed to be better than that.

[LexVegas]

22. Lots of minorities and women under that bus, huh? nt

[JaneyVee]

24. #NotMyRevolution

[Eric J in MN]

27. Is concern trolling allowed by DU rules?

If I found a supporter of Clinton who has criticized Elizabeth Warren, Barbara Boxer, and Kamala Harris, I wouldn't declared that those politicians were "tossed under the Clinton bus."

Nor would I post concern-trolling to Clinton supporters on how they should achieve their goals.

[JaneyVee]

28. Are links to National Review, Hot Air, FIX News, and Judicial Watch allowed on DU?

Because thats what the "progressives" on DU have been using to trash Hillz.

[Eric J in MN]

30. I don't know. Are they? NT

NT

[bemildred]

42. Pretty much. There are some hate sites you had best avoid,

but ordinary political buffoonery of all stripes is allowed, if for nothing else so we can discuss it. People who think this is a just a propaganda site for "leftists" are confused.

[QC]

34. I respect and support all three of them.

Where do you come up with this shit, anyway?

[cherokeeprogressive]

35. That must be one BIG ASS BUS. How can they fit after you threw MILLIONS under it the other day?

"Of course there will always be a permanent underclass of minimally compensated workers. But those workers are free to leave at any time for higher paying jobs."

How deliciously ironic is it that you use the word "inclusion" after a post like that.

[AgingAmerican]

36. If they don't want under the bus, they should not say stupid

I note you left out Claire McCaskill

[all american girl]

40. Yep, they should just learn to keep their mouths shut

I mean really, women having their own opinions...not backing down to bullies, how dare they.

[JaneyVee]

39. Kick for UPDATE

[NCTraveler]

41. The trend is clear.

Much of the verbiage used against these women from "Sanders supporters" mirrors the language we have been hearing from republicans for decades.
