2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[duncanthetall]

Greenwald is a hack, don't put Bloomberg and Clintons in the same category as Trump, and you can hate the elite Manhattan social scene, without becoming unglued, though I wonder if it means you have to vilify everyone in it.

Yeah, no. I will absolutely put at least Bloomberg in the same category. I could begrudgingly vote for HRC. I will actively campaign against democrats and Bloomberg if he gets the nom.

 

[re'up]

Not saying vote for Bloomberg necessarily, just that the quote is absurdly over the top Twitter nonsense. That's like the stuff you see under informed voters on Facebook posting memes.

You need to be better than this.

They traveled in the same social circles, and played golf together, it makes all the sense in the world, who cares? A lot of people just don't understand how these scenes work, and power and money.

Trump was a "huge developer", Bloomberg the mayor, Giuliani the former mayor, Clinton the president or ex president.

The only real difference there is between Clinton and those other scumbags is one can play the saxaphone lol.

 

[The ADD]

dont you think a bloomberg presidency will be better than a trump presidency? he's just gonna be signing the bills that the democrats pass, and rejecting (most ) of the ones that the republicans push. i mean just off the fact that we don't have to see this orange fakkit's face all over the news on a daily basis is enough for me

obviously i dont give a fukk if you vote for him but as someone who didnt vote in 2016, there's no way im doing it again

and i still think bloomberg has zero shot of taking this nomination. im just not seeing the path where he wins, and i dont think the DNC has the balls to proclaim him the victor if he doesnt outright win. as hungry as they are for his money

It’s a big assumption that he’s going to sign Democratic bills and stall Republican legislation and agendas

its an even bigger one that he'll actually be the nominee im not wasting much energy on that

Agreed but there needs to be active foot on his neck and not just well I doubt it happens

 

[the next guy]

It's become clear though Bloombergmania that we need a top down system shock and not to "just get rid of trump"

KEY POINTS

• Dozens of elite business leaders have joined Mike Bloomberg's "army" of surrogates to help him win the Democratic presidential nomination.
• "I am fully committed to Mike," former Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack said. Mack was on a guest list for a Biden fundraiser in New York, but he didn't go because he backs Bloomberg.
• Since Bloomberg is self-funding his campaign, the support from these business leaders could take money off the board for other Democratic candidates.

Dozens of elite business leaders have joined Mike Bloomberg's "army" of surrogates in a bid to help him win the Democratic presidential nomination.

The leaders have signed onto a group called the Committee for Mike, whose organizers call on participants to publicly endorse Bloomberg's campaign, push their networks to vote for him, appear at events and potentially attend briefings with Bloomberg himself, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
