Why? Who do you think his constituency is?
I know Mike Bloomberg socially. Every summer I go to a dinner on Martha’s Vineyard with Mike Bloomberg.

Has anyone checked out her podcast? She wants to have former and current DNC members in plus speak on her experiences which sounds good, but it only just started and I haven’t checked for it yet.

Someone posted video of the mail in California ballot for the primary, these fukks put Bernie’s name on the second page on the back of the form at the very bottom

Bloomberg been plotting this run for years. Thankfully he is old and out of touch that he don’t understand the different electorate.

What did Warren Moon do to get bushed?

I'm not sure. I think she lost support on her left flank and right flank because creating an actual solution isn't what the populace wants. The Bernie stans played a role in mainstreaming the lie that Warren wasn't actually for M4A after she released her funding and transition plans, and amplified the false media narrative that she's a fraud. I personally have friends who cited this episode as the moment they went from supporting or considering Liz to the moment they went full Bernie, and they cite the lies that were told about Liz's plan by the biggest pro-Bernie media figures.

If the people on the left had practiced some solidarity, like Jayapal was calling for, I think Warren could have been able to weather the storm in much better shape. But again, she made the mistake of thinking the left was in a more emotionally mature state than it is and is actually ready to govern, whereas I think it's still in a very immature state dictated by personality politics. She basically took a leap in the name of M4A and needed one side to catch her, but both let her fall. It's good for Bernie though.

I just find it funny when Joe Rogan is being defended more vociferously by Bernie stans as an ally than Elizabeth Warren is. I don't know what type of coalition is being built here.

Hmm . . . so you have friends swayed by lies? Must be very believable lies? Or maybe they aren't lies? Maybe she was just not eloquent enough with her explanation? It is her job to convince the electorate, a miscalculation of where the electorate is at emotionally or whatever is also her fault. And she has allies in the media as well their case must not have been as convincing as the pro-Bernie media figures' case for her to lose people who were supporting her. It's like you are calling the terrain to get elected unfair like their is a rule book or something. lol
And come on dude, this Rogan episode is after Warren supposedly lied and said Bernie said some sexist things. That's not the move of an ally, that ship been sailed.

Pretty good from what I've seen. Her insight on the DNC is invaluable right now.

I don't agree with this for multiple reasons.

• Assumes these are all single issue voters
• Assumes all these voters are in a position to have a binary increase/decrease coverage choice
• Assumes all seats are up for reelection
• Assumes all voters aren't electorally stranded by gerrymandering or voter suppression

If the polling data was anywhere close then you would have a case here, but 95% of dems a 77% of independents wanting to increase access is too overwhelming considering I already granted that Republicans and Dems taking healthcare lobbyist money have an outsized impact on the process of getting this through.

The problem with these polling is that they don't reflect how our representative government works. In particular the senate.

A minority of voters has held this country hostage for quite some time.

I'm not assuming they're single issue voters. But we have to be realistic that some people who'd like the government to provide better Healthcare are okay voting for people who do the opposite fir a variety of reasons.

That said, since the ACA has become law every seat has been up for election and the GOP picked up sears with their main target being dismantling the ACA.

Why are we talking about Mike Bloomberg. Did something happen and he all of a sudden became a viable candidate and not just a billionaire trolling?
