Think he means Klobuchar and Bloomberg are "other" candidates. In other words, I don't know them, but everybody I know I dislike so I'll go with them.Quote:

It’s not like you or I. We bop from company to company and each has a different carrier. We don’t pick our carrier. We have no choice.
Unions fight for that shit. Bernie best tread lightly
The people you are talking about may not vote Bernie in the primary, but will all show up to vote Dem in the general, even if it is for a card-carrying, dead-beat, dying Socialist, who didn't pay his child support, and has never worked a day in his entire life.Quote:

its a huge, huge, huge sticking point for a lot of people i know. and bernie seems totally old-person-inflexible on the subject.
beyond which, bloomberg beating trump is a mortal fucking lock. sanders aka the 78 year old who wont release his medical records even tho he just had a heart attack? i mean.... a sure thing sounds better to me.
Bloomberg isn't stealing any votes from Trump. He is the poor man's Trump. Lots more money, but a small percentage of the charisma, sense of humor, and "political outsider" anti-establishment feel that carries Trump.
The chickens are coming home to roost in the Democratic party, they are stuck between a socialist and a billionaire.
if bernard hasn’t worked a day in his life, then would it be fair to say Trump has worked negative days? Also why are you trying (and failing) to make a moralist argument re bernard vs the pussy grabber with two russian mail order brides in his catalogue? terrible post guyQuote:

Klobuchar has no chance, she has shot her load so to speak.Quote:

you clearly didn’t pick up on the nuanced inference I was making. There has been a paradigm shift in US politics and people don’t give a fuck about anything you just stated. A reality show billionaire is President; absolutely plausible for a self-identifying socialist to be elected
Yang suspending campaign sucks a bit for NZ since there have been some murmurings of a freedom dividend here.
Him lasting longer to our election campaign or someone else taking it over would have gone a long way to us doing it as an experiment.
Bernie winning and wiping student loans might be enough to sway it happening here as well, and I'm balls deep in that nonsense.
lmfao @ Bernard not having worked a day in his life. Bernard nearly dropped dead of a heart attack in October and hasn’t missed a day on the campaign trail, DUMBASS.Quote:

This is too easy. Next.
Holding political office is not a real job.Quote:

wtf do you do for a living?
I'm a social media influencer. Laugh if you want, but it's grueling work. Something a politician could never understand.Quote:

So in one breath you claim that Trump is/was a workaholic as candidate and now president, and in another breath you’re claiming that holding political office isn't a real job. Logical fail much???Quote:

Are Bloomberg’s nerds the only worthy opponents for Trump’s Brad Parscale?
Parscale is now Campaign Mgr and he’s enjoying the spotlight and talking a lot. Is he still sharp? Cambridge Analytica and Facebook style shenanigans probably has to be tempered this time around. No one was watching 2016.
You need the electoral college last second? Few surgical strikes via keyboard. Stone killer.
He’s talking today about conversion rates for rally attendees to lever pulling voters and tracking them with an app. Now there you go. Creepy as fuck but well played.
When my kid moved to NYC she stayed with a Bloomberg IT kid in his downtown tower apt. while she looked for her own place. She described him as brilliant but too trusting. Randoms crashed on his couch enjoying the views. He was paid handsomely by Bloomberg and apparently had no regard for money.
Bloomberg has squadrons of these tattoo’d genius kids.
Bernie prolly has a framed Steve Jobs Time magazine cover from 1982.
Something to think about.
bloomberg terminal is outdated trash, but is the only game in town. With regards to “squadrons of genius kids”, really!? Bloomberg LP is not known to be some incubator of talent. An idiot I know from school got hired as a governance analyst there. Not impressed. He will be exposed in the Nevada debate next week.
LOL BOOMERS
You and I know analysts are just kids waiting for grad school. FlunkiesQuote:

A fantastic comment from zeroh (somewhat rare, but spot on nontheless):
Quote:
Pete Butigieg is everything the world hates and loathes about America and everything every American voter should hate and loathe about American electoral system: a snarky, slimy, arrogant, opaque, elitist, gender-nebulous, pro-war. pro-1%, pro-corporate, Wall Street booty-licking pig masquerading as some sort of quasi-liberal. He is younger and more marketable edition of Hillary Clinton, only more sinister (if that is even possible), more feminine and less funny.
I have no idea how anyone could find anything appealing, innovative, useful, productive, original, or life-affirming about this character or his message. Everything about him SCREAMS "Status Quo! Status Quo" in your face. He is Aunt Helen's 60-year old yellowed and frayed plastic sofa cover of American politics: an absorbent for the stinky billionaire fart and uncontrollable bowel movement and a useless 1% asswipe.
Wait, I like the status quo
I saw him speaking while the crowd chanted “Wall Street Pete”
Not a hiccup or missed beat. No reaction. Resting pulse rate.
It’s the wrong word but all I thought of was “sociopath”.
He is every gay high school theater kid’s idol as a public speaker.
Lol, Krypt. A young gay Hillary. Only more feminine.
Jesus. That made my night. I’m dying
You have impeccable taste.
