He seems like a good brother too. I hope his kids are not suffering ptsd from this. Remember the sista in Fort Worth died the same way, with the pig putting the light on her window. I cannot stand these weirdos in Bernie's base.

cmon now there is huge difference bro
a billionaire can exert enormous power & infuence over an entire industry (or an election as we're seeing with Bloomberg).
A millionaire nowadays can have you living comfortable but thats about it.
I know a few millionaires personally. Even I may become a millionaire by the time i retire
BTW, Bernie has a net worth of 2.5 million. That is peanuts compared to Bloomberg. You can become a millionaire by flipping a few houses and investing in your 401k.
A billionaire makes his/her billions through the exploitation of the working class. I could go on and on. there is no comparison of the two.
Twitter isn't real life.I clicked the hashtag earlier and saw Progressive Voice pushing it with his blue check. Now I click on it and it's become almost entirely Warren people hashtagging it to attack Bernie, not even kidding. That post brought me back in to double-check and it's literally looking like a Bernie attack now...Like I say repeatedly and it's EXTREMELY common from the Warren G's. They take a small number of Bernie supporters and magnify their message, then wonder why they have the completely wrong understanding of what the broader Bernie Support is about. That disconnect is why she lost a ton of progressives and it starts almost lock step with when Warren brings in a big influx of Hillary staffer.
It plays great for actual progressives. They can say that recessions are why you need a safety net for the poor and working class and middle class. By offering baseline support for them, you keep the cash flowing to the actual people who need it, and by THEIR spending you keep the economy funded...only it's funding the shyt people ACTUALLY need instead of just funding whatever the wealthy chose to invest in (or hoard for themselves and not invest.
It's trickle-up economics, the kind that actually works. It has been proven that giving money to the poor is a better stimulus for the economy than bailing out the rich, because the rich can choose to hoard the money, hide it off-shore, etc., while the poor have to actually use the cash in essential economic functions that keep it circulating right here and right away.
It plays more difficult for Establishment Dems, because they proved in 2009 that they handle recessions the same fukking way the Republicans handle them - by bailing out the rich while letting regular people get fukked over. Obama even kept the same fukking people in charge of the recovery that Bush had put into place, and he bailed out the banks that caused the recession but broke his promise to bail out the actual people who were suffering and had lost their homes. As a result the economy rebounded quickly for the rich but took 5-8 years to rebound for everyone else. So for the Establishment Dems to win this issue they have to admit that they were wrong in 2009 and that they'll go about it a whole new way.
Trump has a hard time playing it off too. First off, people won't be feeling so good about stuff. Second, any incompetence and bad decisions will be exposed. And third, his tendency has always been to just throw money at shyt rather than working to help the people at the bottom, so he will also look like he cares more about the rich than about the poor and is making the same mistakes of 2008-09.

This is a lot of words just to say yes, when Bernie was not the candidate with the most votes heading into the convention he believed the superdelegates should disregard the popular vote and give him the nomination anyway, and now that he's looking like the candidate most likely to have the most votes, he believes the rules shouldn't apply and he should automatically be given the nomination.
In fact, as you point out, the 2016 process was even more undemocratic than it is now, and Bernie was fully willing to play by those rules and appeal to superdelegates, but now he's angry that people are playing by the rules of this newer, more democratic process.
How Bernie really living tho? Mans is a hypocrite to the 100th power..
Dude is a straight actor putting off like he’s apart of the everyday struggle when dude is a multi millionaire and own 3 homes, if Bloomberg exposed him then you already know trump and his team is going to expose the fukk out of Bernie in the General if he gets the nomination. Mans out here wearing the same unfitted suit since 2016 like he really in these streets for the street
He wasn't even a millionaire until fairly recently, and that was just the natural result of being a Senator earning a low 6-figure income and getting to retirement age without wasting his money. He bought two homes, his own place in Vermont and a small condo in DC, because he's a Senator and has to work both places. You would have preferred that he used his senator's salary to rent in DC for 30 years....why? So he prove that he's stupid with his cash?
Seriously, how would it be anything other than stupid for him to have spent his salary on rent instead of having an affordable home in both states that he has to work in?
Like I said, he only became a millionaire recently. Then in 2016 he signed a $800,000 book deal that dramatically increased his wealth. He used that money to buy a vacation home/investment property. Again, smart with his money, setting himself up for retirement when he sells his DC condo and leaves his Vermont home to his kids. Now his net worth is $2 million.
You believe that's disqualifying?
says who? Billi goat bloomberg says otherwise. Watch out candidates that had to get all that grassroots support to qualify. Billi Bloom is here. Tosses out 100 bills like he's at a strip club.You don’t get to change the rules after the game has started.

This makes no sense. So because he has worked his who life been frugal and with the frugalness been able to acquire three homes means he can't relate to people that aren't doing well in the country.
Argument makes no sense!
WRONG. Stop trying to push a narrative. what bernie wanted back then is a fair process. the DNC did not give him that. hilary was always going to beat him. even berns on people knew that. he didnt think he was going to do as well as he actually did. they already knew the L was coming. But to throw out the super Dele counts before people vote was shady as hell and anyone saying otherwise is just a hil stan or bernie hater. be truthful in these discussion or shut up. You know what that was all about, they were trying to convince the voters to choose hil since she had all the supers in the bag. You as a voter should never want even the person you like most to do that to the other because thats a sign of propaganda. do you like propaganda in the US? I know i dont. and neither does old man bernie. So now the rules have change to stop that first half propaganda nonsense from the DNC. GOOD. its a fairer process. not fair enough but fairer. I'll take this over the old way thats for sure. but personally super delegates are nothing more than electoral college votes. I hate them both.This is a lot of words just to say yes, when Bernie was not the candidate with the most votes heading into the convention he believed the superdelegates should disregard the popular vote and give him the nomination anyway, and now that he's looking like the candidate most likely to have the most votes, he believes the rules shouldn't apply and he should automatically be given the nomination.

I think the whole conversation about being millionaires and how to that relates to empathy is unimportant and unnecessary but it's still odd seeing the juelzing. He's a good millionaire.....he's an old millionaire(huh?)......he's a frugal millionaire(Ok?).....he only has 3 homes(alright?). I just can't fucck with this coalition at all man. I'm completely turned off and I don't even dislike the old nicca. His crew I don't fucck with at all.
