Oh so you can advocate for people financially worse off? Or is it only Bloomy can or only Bernie can't?
And no answer on who you plan to vote for if Bernie is the nominee? Welcome to Trumpset I guess. :ld:

1. I don’t advocate for people being worse off financially

2. I’m just pointing out Bernie’s hypocrisy when he says someone’s wealth is immoral

3. If Bernie is the nominee I’m voting Bernie why is this even a question?

Breh, you made a post about Bernie Bros and the EXACT subject that I was talking about at the moment and referred to providing context as "juelzing". Then when I pointed out that the context was valid and not juelzing, you went with, "sure, but y'all don't give context when it's not about Bernie." The when I pointed out that I always give context no matter what I'm talking about, you're like, "Well, maybe when I say y'all I don't mean you specifically." So what's the point?


What are you really getting out of taking the conversation in this direction anyway? Like I said earlier, this thread was pretty good until a couple weeks ago, and now it's gone to shyt. We're having the worst arguments. You're attacking what people were saying without giving any argument for why it was even wrong, but based on the vague suggestion that some unnamed people making the argument will speak differently on some unnamed other topic in some unknown other situation.

It's literally a waste of time and doesn't get us anywhere.


To keep it a buck I had no idea you were talking about the topic of Bernie being a millionaire. The timing of your post and my post is coincidental. Whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you but I had no idea you were talking about it at the same time. Not that it would of changed my post in anyway. :yeshrug:

My initial post was based off @Arbitrage! post about his frugalness and that duncan dude talking about his homes the other day in embarrassing fashion along with all the other "context" about his millions on SM. I generally speaking skim long post unless they are directed towards me and your post tend to be longer than most.

With Warren running as democratic candidate :wow:

When they pick her at the brokered convention after she loses her home state to Bernie and puts up Pete numbers in SC :wow:
I don't see how they pick her unless Bernie demands it as a compromise and they can't get shyt together without getting him on board. She's too progressive for the actual establishment, she doesn't look very electable right now, and she's not even all that connected.

If it really goes to a contested convention, I feel like they would either try to push Biden (if the DNC has control) or Bloomberg (if he just pays enough people off). But it's really hard for me seeing them not going with Bernie in the end. They really have to realize that if they reject Bernie they're fukked beyond belief as a party. And if they pick Bernie and he loses against Trump, they can blame him instead of reevaluating themselves. That's probably what they'll be rooting for.

Yes, yes, let's employ no tactics instead

I agree. That's a poor way to word it.

However, for the vast majority of citizens, if they get diagnosed with cancer it's either:

Go into crippling debt :hula: Die

We should change that. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a third option that's "better".
"the government should provide healthcare to every citizen" works for me :yeshrug:

but i don't feel that it's my "human right" that someone else goes to med school so they can take care of me :heh: what kind of disgusting, communist bullshyt is that?

and i dont say this to split hairs, but dudes in here supposedly want bernie to win in 2020. his messaging needs work

you hate to see it :manny:

and I’m not a “sick fukker” I’m just drawing a contrast of what Bloomberg can point too being a chief executive against trump vs what trump is going to call Bernie a communist if he gets the nom
bloomberg IS trump with a better suit on, and a slicker move maker.
What if trump wasnt so out in the open with his shady moves who would he be? Mike bloomberg. thats who. Trump is russia, bloomberg is china.
Trump is racist trying to keep muslims out and send erry brown and blacks out the country. Bloom locks up brown and blacks just cause. Trump attempts to purchase influence during his run, he was buying black people to come to his rallies and to sit behind him at town halls. Bloom admitted to paying to get black folks to come out and support him via thru their campaigns.

its the same dude. So why on earth me as a black man would want bloomberg in office over trump? i wouldnt. that would be stupid. and if i was white and cared about my fellow darker skinned citizens i surely wouldnt want bloom to be my president.

The guy shouldnt even be on that stage. the shady dnc changed the rules to let him in. this means he has to be ALLOWED to circumvent ish in order to get in and do damage with his money. he can only lead with his money cause he doesnt have great policies to lead with. and he's a horrible debator.

only a selfish fan of his would vote for him. Bloomberg aint bringing out a single new voter. so how is he going to convince the purple states he has their back when talking to that working class? he wont. and he will lose just like hil but by a worse margin.

Yeah, if Bernie loses they can finally tell progressives to sit down and let them do things. I can see why they are so against Bernie seizing power because it's the end of the consultant class and favors but they can't steal it from him without destroying the party.

Bloomberg was Mayor if NYC for 12 years, negotiating of the city unions giving city employees contract raises ain’t helping common folk? You can spin shyt all you want but it shows he sits at the table for contract negotiating... Trump cut federal employees pay right?

No matter people can point to Bloomberg being Mayor of NYC for 12 years and can criticize and scrutinize his record... bet you he’s gotten more done than Bernie has as a senator for VT...
saying a mayor got more done than a senator sitting around a bunch of people who wont do anything to help actual working class people means nothing. you cant compare those two. thats apples to cherries.

But since you went there. lets go at least apples to oranges seeing that new york is has a very large population of a lot of different people while also having a lot of money to boot. its just different. but lets see what old man bernie was up to in Vermont. lets see if the man who you hear today is still about that life or was he ever about that life he acts like he's about today?

HuffPost is now a part of Verizon Media

John Davis remembers a meeting in 1986 when Bernie Sanders, then the mayor of Burlington, Vermont, confronted the owners of the city’s largest affordable-housing complex. The federal program that had subsidized the Northgate Apartments for 20 years had a loophole that allowed the landlords to convert the buildings into market rentals or luxury condos.

“Bernie pounded his fist on the conference table in his office and told the owners, ‘Over my dead body are you going to displace 336 working families. You are not going to convert Northgate into luxury housing,’” recalled Davis, who was Sanders’s key housing aide.

Under Sanders’s leadership, the city adopted a number of laws to stifle the owners’ plans. One ordinance required apartment owners to give residents two years’ notice before a condo conversion. Others gave residents a preemptive right to buy the units and prohibited landlords from bulldozing buildings unless they replaced them with the same number of affordable units. These measures lowered the selling price of the property. Sanders then worked with the state government and Senator Patrick Leahy to get the $12 million needed to purchase and rehabilitate the buildings. The city allocated funds to help the tenants hire an organizer, form the Northgate Residents Association, and start the process of converting the complex to resident ownership. Today, Northgate Apartments is owned by the tenants and has long-term restrictions to keep the buildings affordable for working families.

The battle over Northgate Apartments illustrates Sanders’s general approach to governing. In addressing this and many other issues, he encouraged grassroots organizing, adopted local laws to protect the vulnerable, challenged the city’s business power brokers and worked collaboratively with other politicians to create a more livable city...........
and just for fun. this exact same thing is happening to working class people right now in 2020. the exact same thing.
