NYT: Michael Bloomberg preparing to enter the Democratic presidential primary
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
Gimme a break. In a matchup between Trump and Warren or Bernie, Bloomberg will want Trump to win.
He's worth 52 billion compared to Schultz's 4 billion. He can mount a billion dollar campaign and it won't even effect his fortune, this is a bigger deal than Schultz IMO.
Real talk time.
Seriously? This is where you draw the line? After everything the Trump administration has done to minorities, the LGBT community, migrants and the country's reputation and integrity in general, you balk at the possibility that the Democratic candidate will raise your taxes.
Don't think the people haven't forgotten the 1%'s reaction to Trumps election, saying there's the economy would collapse. Yet you were fine with it... just as long as you got your tax cuts. Your kind may claim to be woke, but you still think you can get away with paying money to anti-LGBT organizations, fund candidates against unionizing and the minimum wage and know-tow yourselves to dictatorships such as China as if your base would think nothing of it.
Worse yet, it's apparently beneath you to spend a fraction of that money on downballot races and state elections that desperately need it. Likely because there's the chance that someone who wins would also raise your taxes.
Like... it's ridiculous how much Steyer, Bloomberg and the like are trying to preserve their neoliberal order when it's clearly not going to last much longer. Both both the left and the right have crapped on your indecisiveness for the past few years. It's time to make a choice. You're either going to get a socialist future where your tax rate will return to the to FDR levels or a fascist one where the government forces you to support its convervative nationalist order. At least pick one that most people would be fine with.

If anything Warren has to be shook at the recent polling the NYT has done which would see Trump beat her handily across most swing states.
Bloomberg probably won't "fully run" but rather try to steer the Dem primary's main narratives towards a different direction. I don't think the ultra-liberal approach by Warren or Sanders will yield positive results in the long run, especially as Trump seems to be immune to the Impeachment Process.
Bloomberg doesn't care about that shut. After all, he was responsible for the horribly racist stop-and-frisk policy in NYC. If he gets the nomination, I won't be voting for that racist.
Rich people have no loyalty, zero allegiance to anyone other than access to their wealth. The ultra-rich hate democracy, because it dilutes their ability to buy power. They are at best an agitator against society, but mostly an enemy. Billionaires should not exist. The sooner society corrects this aberration, the better.
I wish him great success in leeching votes and poll numbers off Biden.
Don't know if he'll be that effective, but god speed boomer.
Hell, if I could run for prez right now I'd basically try to out boomer Biden and suicide crash his campaign

You're right. He defended it though even as late as January of this year.
Isn't him entering the Democratic primary non-consequential since he isn't likely to get the nomination? I thought he'd be a dangerous candidate if he run as a third party candidate.
He'd be the first though
lmao. Quite the confluence of cultural shifts that has taken place for "ok bloomberg" to be legitimately funny
Hey sure go ahead build up Bloomberg and the only thing he can do is handicap shit like Pete & Klobber

Very reminiscent of Biden's launch. Biden had to make google change their top result from the fake joebiden.info site run by republicans to his official site.
He will really help Warren and Sanders. The guy will rally a lot of support against rich people, just from the sound of his voice.
