Bernie will get the nom if he gets a plurality of votes, but you know Bloomberg's punk ass will run as a third-party spoiler on as many ballots as he can.
How the fuck did we get to Bernie and Bloomberg as the two candidates with the most likelihood of winning the nomination? I think Bernie would lose to Trump heads up, but you know Bloomberg will put his rich ass in the mix somehow on top of that.
The right wing destroying the country by propping up a know-nothing (and, spiritually, Know Nothing) billionaire who hates everybody who isn't a rich white dude has such a far reach that now billionaires are jumping in on our side and getting play just because they might be able to beat the other billionaire who is also a piece of shit who wants to destroy the lives of everyone who has a little melanin/a different sexual orientation/is poor.
We're on a race to the bottom here, and it is once again that I thank God for federalism because at least I can live in a state that can, ultimately, ignore or sidestep the federal government as much as possible, and even stacking SCOTUS doesn't mean that the executive will necessarily listen to SCOTUS (which doesn't actually execute legislation).
What we're headed for is a handful of blue states that slowly progress toward egalitarian societies and a bunch of red states that are poor, mean, and that will be a continued drag on the rest of us.
Again, the union has outlived its usefulness and we should really split up into multiple countries, but obviously that's not going to happen. It should, though. I think the best use of a trillion+ dollars in spending is just creating borders and giving people the cash that they need to re-patriate to the newly-formed country of their choice.
