Is the general consensus here that even Biden would be a better choice than Bloomberg? I think I'd take Pete over either of those clowns, but that isn't saying much.
Absolutely. I think pretty much everyone here would have begrudgingly voted for Biden or one of the others without consideration.
A lot of us will not vote for Bloomberg. He's literally a Bush-era Republican. I've been politically active since 2008 and have never once considered not voting for president. If the choice is Bloomberg v Trump, I honestly don't think I could do it. I'd write in Warren or Sanders and just vote downballot.
Out of the moderates still standing, I would take Pete in a heartbeat. At least he hasn't committed assualt/harrassment like Klob and Biden, and seems a little less high on that "Republicans are great and will work with me!" bullshit. He's a fucking snake, but given his background and father, I would hope he's more left leaning than his recent moderate act implies.
My rankings would go:
Warren/Bernie>>>>>>Pete>>Biden>Klob
Bloomberg doesn't even register. I won't even entertain the idea of voting for him unless there nightmare scenario of him winning the nom truly comes to pass. Idk what I'd do then.
