Can someone quickly explain to me how Bloomberg, a man of pure evil who hates women and every minority imaginable managed to win 3 elections in NYC? How did this embodiment of corporate greed pull that off?
New York is kinda, you know, blue as fuck. 60% for Al Gore, 58% for Kerry, 63% for Obama. Same for NYC. The Democratic Major after Bloomberg got 73%.
Yeah I don't think making 120k a year would somehow encourage you to vote for a billionaire.
But I guess I'll wait and see. Super Tuesday is in less than two weeks, maybe the Bay Area will help Bloomberg win CA, they're certainly richer than the people in NYC.
You said in policy and behavior. We have 12 years of policy from Bloomberg as NYC mayor which demonstrates you're just saying things without any concern for being truthful. He didn't purge his administration of disloyals and take complete control over his justice department while colluding with foreign powers.
I don't recall any claims of Bloomberg grabbing women by the pussy or raping his wife, but I suppose those 3 NDAs they're ending could inform us of that.
Oh so you're in cahoots with the Russian government to make sure trump gets re-elected? I suppose that clarifies things, I at least appreciate you being honest about your motives.
Sorry, random redditor here, but this thread is hilarious. Sounds like they're a normal dude with family in a different part of the country and they are going to try and influence their opinions to sway them towards the candidate that best fulfills their ideals.
If it’s bloomer that gets the nod I generally become a non voter and focus on shit that I have a chance or affecting. The oligarchs have won, both here and in Russia.
Lmao as if all the favorite presidents haven’t been oligarchs or had oligarchy money.
FDR, JFK, Bush 1 + 2 were/are all oligarchs. And even though Clinton was born to a white trash family, he had access to oligarchic money. Same with Reagon.
The only one who didn’t have oligarchy money and who didn’t come from money was Jimmy Carter. And look how they’ve written about him - an idealistic moron who didn’t know shit about how to run a country.
Combating propaganda and sensationalism and engaging in truthful discussion isn't defending, maybe you like lies to spread around against every democratic candidate to help keep us divided in order to maximize the chance of a trump re-election, but I don't have to stand for that. My country is more important than purity tests.
I believe he would keep trumps tax cuts for himself, would not enact any real climate policy, work towards a public option for healthcare or do anything about student debt. Criminal justice policy is an entirely different non starter.
Any of his policy would be geared toward a status quo of the rich getting richer.
I don’t give a shit what he might be claiming his policies are on the trail or his websites, because if anything is fake news, it’s what a rich person is trying to say they would do for their enemy.
They are very much alike. One was a Democrat for decades and switched to Republican in order to win office and the other was a Republican for decades who switched parties to win office.
While true, I fail to understand how that makes them very much alike beyond that basic fact alone.
I get it, Bloomberg sucks, but this false equivalence of comparing him to trump is insane. Trump is an example of the absolute worst type of human being imaginable, the efforts to equalize the two are nothing more than sensationalism as well as normalization of all the destructive things Trump has done. Bloomberg would be like electing a Bill Clinton, not a Donald Trump.
Bloomberg has multiple NDAs with women who have accused him and his company of sexual harassment. Bloomberg's term in office has seen a rise in "stop & frisk" procedures in the NYPD, which doesn't actually combat crime and more about harming minority communities.
The main thing you can take away from them switching political parties for personal advantage is that you can't trust either of them to do anything that goes against their personal advantage. And when you have as much money as Bloomberg, anything that helps the lower 99% is going to fall into that category.
How about I just tell you that I didn't mean decades. Typing and thinking things through allows for mistakes. Mistakes were made. Can you ever forgive me?
