2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Pressure]

So he was a Democrat when he did this or did he become a Democrat after he donated his money to the Republican that won by 2%?

Michael Bloomberg Has Used His Fortune to Help Republicans, Too

He's also donated hundred of millions of dollars for dems.

I put him in the same vein as Joe Manchin.

I accept the reality that the Dem party is a big tent party.

Like I said, y'all hate his policies, just say that.

You all don't hate that he left the Dem party and won.

You have Nap on ignore?

Added him accidentally on ignore sounds like it was a good decision

 

[Pressure]

Stop and frisk is not in the same vein as the Democratic crime bill. He instituted it while crime was going down and there was ample information about the effects of mass incarceration. You sound nuts right now trying to talk to black people from the east coast about Bloomberg.

You don't think stop and frisk is in the same vein as the crime bill?



Expound on this point.

Which goes back to the point I made a couple days ago. These Bernie bros don't have a single thought that isn't directly influenced by what their favorite youtube grifters are saying at any particular moment in time. When it was time to attack Warren the grifters start it and they follow, than it was Biden's time, Pete, now it's Bloomberg. They do it on command it's fukking creepy as hell

Look at Ryan Grim, Krystal Ball, Sam Seder,etc their twitters....than come on here and see what the latest discussion is among the Bernie bros. The shyt is legitimately embarrassing.

Not Sam Seder dudes always plays fair with most candidates. It’s his fekkit ass cohost Michael brooks that’s insufferable.

He was a Democrat in 2018.
He instituted stop and frisk. It was bad, but it's in the same vein as the Dem created crime bill.

He also instituted some of the stricted gun control laws,

Pro reproductive rights.

Anti mass deportation.
Pro DACA.

Anti justice Roberts.

Pro Iraq war.

Accepts climate change.

He's ultimately your run of the mill moderate just like Biden.

You know he supported Republican Senators in 2016 like Pat Toomey? Who barely won?

Bloomberg is a reason we have Kavanaugh on SCOTUS right now.

I'ma need this energy when they come back to NYC. We got the momentum started with that Bernie's back rally.

 

[StatUS]

Honestly, this is fight I want. We can talk about who's a Democrat or not, or why black people need not to support him. Doesn't matter, we know this isn't an even playing field. Bloomberg has put money in cities and he's cashing in for endorsements and influence. He's completely manufacturing consent for Super Tuesday. Biden and Pete ain't got shyt on this.

So if it comes down to Bernie leading a coalition to take this guy down then that will decide the future of the party truly. Not to put it out there like some heroes journey story but it's setting up that way.

My point was just say you don't like his policies. Just say that.

He's more liberal than Manchin.

But you'd hate him regardless of what letter is next to his name.

He's literally everything you hate. Centrist. Wealthy. Tough on crime.

Again, your initial point is people can't criticize Bernie for not being a Democrat, but like bloomberg because he was a republican at some point. But the people you're attempting to project this on are moderate or aren't off put by moderate policies.

Further, the criticism of Bernie is simple. He wants to reform a party he isn't a part of nor wants to be a part of.

If he hates the Dem platform he should run Third party and start his revolution. But he doesn't because he knows he needs the party he hates to further his own ambition.

did you see how quickly he throws Nina turner under the bus?

I don't care about Nina Turner. Your not gonna sit there and tell me it's a tough decision between Bernie who at worst is indifferent towards blacks and Bloomberg who sounds like he longs for the days his grandfather told him about when the colored's were in chains. I know you got to do your Bernie thing but don't insult the political conversation in here by pretending this is some gut wrenching decision between the two, unless there is something we don't know about you.

It’s wild. This dude has been completely reasonable and easy to talk to until this. Ridiculous what having billions of dollars does to how “normal” people perceive you

Bloomberg ain't winning shyt.

Bernie isn't trying to build a broad coalition.

I still think liz can come in 2nd in NH. Her close proximity to NH and her grassroots compared to pete is a key.
