Who was on which side? I must know.

So did they even specify what these "vicious attacks" were? Was it John Legend & Rob Delaney strongly disagreeing on twitter, or?
Also, lol
Same side, they were both calling out the union
I, for one, am shocked.Glad this reply has almost as many likes as the initial tweet (read it and the direct replies):
Corruption fucking EVERYWHERE.
I mean I don't want to make assumptions or push conspiracy theories...Why have some members of the Congressional Black Caucus endorsed Bloomberg? I don't understand.

But you can probably gue$$ why.

If Biden comes roaring back in NV then this is over and he wins the nom pretty handily.
I have no way of knowing the situation between Culinary Workers Union leadership and rank-and-file. They haven't actually endorsed anyone though, and that's telling to me.
Sanders has some ideas to address this. From the campaign website:If a Biden win means no Bloomberg I take it. I can vote for Biden. I won't vote for Bloomberg.
If things go to a Brokered convention, Bernie's one job is to stop Bloomberg at any cost, even if it means a threat to walk away and run 3rd party.
BTW a lot of unions don't support M4A because it takes power away from them, they usually negotiate sweetheart healthcare deals. Unions only care about their members (which is a good thing mostly, but sometimes bad). Also there's three types of unions in the US
Police unions (really bad)
Service sector unions (really good)
Trade unions (mixed bag, and I'm a member of one)
tl;dr: Force employers to make union members whole by matching elimination of negotiated health care plans with increases in wages.
- A fair transition to Medicare for All:Bernie will require that resulting healthcare savings from union-negotiated plans result in wage increases and additional benefits for workers during the transition to Medicare for All. When Medicare for All is signed into law, companies with union negotiated health care plans would be required to enter into new contract negotiations overseen by the National Labor Relations Board. Under this plan, all company savings that result from reduced health care contributions from Medicare for All will accrue equitably to workers in the form of increased wages or other benefits. Furthermore, the plan will ensure that union-sponsored clinics and other providers are integrated within the Medicare for All system, and kept available for members. Unions will still be able to negotiate for and provide wrap-around services and other coverage not duplicative of the benefits established under Medicare for All.
New contract negotiations sound like a lot of work for union leaders. Much easier to endorse a moderate and ride the gravy train.Sanders has some ideas to address this. From the campaign website:
tl;dr: Force employers to make union members while by matching elimination of negotiated health care plans with increases in wages.
Bernie's ground game and outreach has been fantastic so far... I hope he can reach out to the union members directly and cut through the bullshit. It would be incredibly satisfying for the union leadership to have their propaganda backfire
Lmao2016 Republican debates were just a measure to see who could be the most evil.
Jeb was too pure for this world.
Sure but making them whole isn't the entire issue, the issue is ensuring a union provides clearly superior benefits when compared to a non-unionized work place. In effect, they're not just worried about their members today, they're worried about being placed in a more equal playing field with other employment opportunities. Getting a few extra days of sick time, being slightly harder to fire and little benefits like that don't carry near the recruitment and retention rate as a rock solid health care plan does. You know how some people say they're trapped in their job by healthcare, well the same can apply to Unions. Remove that albatross from around peoples' necks and now you may find a situation where you're no longer as attractive a workplace. Workers may decide these smaller benefits aren't worth paying dues for or that now free of needing a great healthcare plan they may take a benefit or pay cut and work somewhere else for whatever reason, closer to home, didn't like the work, yadda, yadda.Sanders has some ideas to address this.

Why have some members of the Congressional Black Caucus endorsed Bloomberg? I don't understand.
Has it though? His ground game feels like it's more like dragging him just over the finish line.
Now that still matters-a lot even, he's easily the sole frontrunner in this thing now-but it's hard for me not to look at Iowa and see a tie and NH and think that Pete gets a decisive win out of there if Klobul Warming didn't happen out of nowhere. Sufficient, not fantastic, feels like a more accurate description of it.

Bloomberg has built a network and has been earning favors from people for over a decade now. He's a fucking Plutocrat my guyWhy have some members of the Congressional Black Caucus endorsed Bloomberg? I don't understand.

Yeah, he funded a lot of Democrats races in 2018 so it's not surprising that some of them are returning the favor. :/Bloomberg has built a network and has been earning favors from people for over a decade now. He's a fucking Plutocrat my guy

Bloomberg's endgame is to become president and declare that Pluto is in fact a real planet.Bloomberg has built a network and has been earning favors from people for over a decade now. He's a fucking Plutocrat my guy
Because African American voters aren't a monolith, and a lot of them, especially older voters are moderates who basically support many tough on crime policies. Hell, 60% of African American's want more police in their neighborhood (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...s-crime-criminal-justice-reform-booker-harris) and 58% of African-Americans have a positive view of the police in their community.
Many, many members of the CBC voted for the 1994 crime bill, and not a single one of them lost a primary, or even had a strong primary challenge.
Mike is so fucking done. Looking forward to him trying to tank the General as a third party candidate.
Never underestimate the willingness for establishment people to throw minorities under the bus.

Since I was warned for my post saying any minority/black people voting Bloomberg as ignorant and idiotic, I would like to ask a honest question:
What is a legitimate reason for any minority to pick a certifiable racist like him? A person who enforced policy like stop and frisk, and said horrific stuff like the Xerox thing. Educate me.
I'm not a minority, but the facts are, thousands of minorities voted for Bloomberg in all his mayoral runs, but likely reasons are they're moderate to conservative on racial issues themselves, they think things like stop 'n' frisk make their minority communities safer, they prefer Bloomberg on other issues (like gun control) where he's put his money where his mouth is, and an understated reason, especially among older black voters, is that many of them basically believe most white people say or believe things like this, and that people like Bloomberg or Biden are just worse at hiding it, and looking at the history of America, I totally understand that belief.
Fuck Klobuchar. I retract the post I made yesterday about seeing myself voting for her if she's the nominee (she won't be, but still). It was born out of ignorance. This and her willingness to compromise with pro-life Democrats put her firmly in the "nope" camp for me.
The very idea that any minority would actually vote for a certified racist like him is just beyond me. It's like a black guy or a Muslim voting for Trump. No matter what your other reason are, you are giving your support towards a person that consider you as sub-human.
It just makes my skin crawl.
There are other options.I mean, if you're a 70 year old black person in America, you've been voting for certified racists almost your whole life, at least by the standards of many in 2020 America. What's the difference now?
I don't get how that responds to my point?Sure, two white people who many black voters they've never likely heard of, another crazy white guy promising revolution, and Bloomberg, who says nice things about Obama, and has spent a zillion dollars on gun control. Again, I don't agree with their choice, but I can understand where people care coming from.
I don't get how that responds to my point?
We shouldn't act like there isn't a solution for not voting for a racist.
