When Warren drops out, people are 100% gonna say she was bullied out of the race by Bernie Bros, instead of just owning up to her campaign just running out of gas money.

That won't benefit him with his base, it will depress it. And it's not a guaranteed move that will even move the needle for people that do not want to vote for him. It's better to motivate those that align with you, than to change who you are to appeal to those you disagree with.
You guys give way more headspace to Bloomberg than I do. Ot seems nobody outside those he paid off support him
I hope so. She was my number 1 but the last 2 weeks have been depressing as hell for her campaign. Hoping she can rally more support for Bernie if/when she does drop out.Eh, I'm not even certain if that's the case. Warren will endorse Sanders almost certainly imo.
I don't think we can use "Trump will call the short guy short" as a reason he'll win. I don't think anyone can beat him, but it won't be because of calling someone short.
dont be so sure mullen
If she doesn't finish top 3 in Nevada or SC I'm not sure how she could justify staying in and asking for money.
On top of the sexual harrassment suits, Bloomberg also has photos with Ghislaine Maxwell. You know what's up... he's #nottrump though so that's fine!
I cannot vote for Bloomberg. I feel a vote for him would be affirmation that a racist Republican billionaire who supported George W. Bush is what I want the Democratic Party to represent and I can't do it.
If the party wants that to be it's representation, and the amount of establishment figures lining up behind him suggests it is, then it's probably time to bounce.
If Biden drops out this month instead that would be a much better replacement. Im gonna get fucking blasted when Joe admits defeat.
Seriously, if the DNC nominates Mike Bloomberg, the country is finished and the DNC deserve to be stomped out of existence for their terrible understanding of people. Looking at Clinton's specific failures and nominating an even worse candidate that is literally just another variation of Trump in a slightly less idiotic and blatant manner is the epitome of out of touch.
If I let my catastrophizing brain run wild for a bit, I think this is the series of events we're currently looking at
- Bernie does well but all the others stay in the race long enough to sap delegates away from him. They may even stay in specifically to do this, encouraged by the DNC.
- Brokered convention, DNC anoints Mayo Pete or Bloomberg, who will suffer a crushing defeat in November
- 1000 years of pain and darkness[/B]
I can do this all day, and I will, because I can't stop myself.
Bloomberg is basically the only candidate that I wouldn't vote for in the general. I would just outright abstain because voting for a racist billionaire that only has an interest in retaining his wealth and continuing the disparity between the working class and the elites is just not something I can stomach (my lone blue vote in a blood red state that adores Trump makes that an easier decision too, and I would still vote down ballot, just not President).

Bloomberg's only path to winning the nom is to have the SDEs flip to him during a brokered convention. Thus in the hypothetical he won, it would be apt to say its because of the DNC. And thats not even getting into the fact they not only allowed him to run on their ticket when they should have told him no, but that they changed the rules for him mid-election cycle to help him out too.The DNC doesn't just select the candidate. Voters and the delegates they select do.
Small C corruptionThe fact that so many mayors, lawmakers and politicians in the Democratic Party are outwardly endorsing Bloomberg is just... it's mind boggling.
They really don't give a fuck about working people.

Between Trump and Bloomberg the corruption is out in the open. Republicans have taken off their masks, some Democrats are starting to do that as well.The fact that so many mayors, lawmakers and politicians in the Democratic Party are outwardly endorsing Bloomberg is just... it's mind boggling.

Yes that is what I meant apologies. My point still stands that he would still need them to flip over in order to win. Thus it would be apt to place blame on the DNC (in addition to letting him on the ticket and changing the rules for him).SDE's are State Delegate Equivalents, I think you mean superdelegates. Superdelegates only account for like 5-10% of the total votes, it's the lowest percentage we've had since 1968 I believe.
