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.Originally Posted by duped_samaritan
It's not "other" it's "no one".
Meaning nobody will win more than 50% of the delegates.
Democrats have forsaken the unions and now they hear a guy who threatens a pretty good health package
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.
i am saying this from a place of sincerity:
for every person i know who would vote for sanders over bloomberg, i literally know 10 who would vote for bloomberg over sanders. and these are generally progressive leaning friends.
_no one_ wants to see a bunch of fuckups get their hundred thousand plus dollar .edu bills comped, least of all with tax dollars.
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 guyThe 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.

Always Trump with you fucking simpletons.if bernard hasn’t worked a day in his life, then would it be fair to say Trump has worked negative days?

If you are going to come at Trump, come at him harder than some "Trump must have worked negative days" BS, the dude is clearly a workaholic and worked and talked his ass all the way to President.

Klobuchar has no chance, she has shot her load so to speak.
If Bernie Sanders is not the Democratic nominee there will be a revolt and outright war in the Democratic party.
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.
When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.
PFA Rookie of the Year Awards
2012: The Templar (unknown)
2013: Jasep $5000+
2015: Micon's gofundme legal defense $3k begging for 100k:
2018: 4Dragons
2019: Dutch Boyd: Mike Postle
2020: Covid19
2021: SMIFlorida and some sort of shit coins for $50k
2023: 22nd Feb 4th Dec Youtube channels removed
2024: Dustin Morgan wins Chrissy's $1000 contest: May 3rd another channel gone.
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.Always Trump with you fucking simpletons.

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

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.
Biden, Bernie, Bloomberg, Klobuchar. There's too many Bs in this race. Hard to keep them all straight.
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???Holding political office is not a real job.
First, sosh media is vile. But I recognize game.
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. Flunkies
I’m just free associating.
I hold low regard for Bloomberg. Boomers that age have baggage. Epstein photos and inappropriate chatter that was the norm back then. He may have been a saint. We will see
A fantastic comment from zeroh (somewhat rare, but spot on nontheless):
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.
