If Mike Bloomberg is the Democratic nominee, will you vote for him in November?

He's rich enough to afford the invisible one.

worst marry/fuck/kill ever

Kissinger is always ‘kill’

@MikeBloomberg and @Mike2020 have barbs at the ready for everyone on the debate stage on Wednesday:

For @BernieSanders: “Your approach to everything is ‘pie-in-the-sky’ - it’s as if you are seeking to become the new lead singer of #Nirvana, not President of the United States.”

wat

fuck bernie's done

I'm trying to wrap my head around what that would even mean. The only way I can make sense of it is if he is confusing Nirvana with the John Lennon of "Imagine" or something.

Nirvana = paradise

har har

'The more voters hear about Bernie's policies, the more likely they are to declare that they 'don't want no scrubs', much like the lyrics of the a popular song by singing group the TLCs.'

before we go far down this road,

how does he know that bloomberg has prepared barbs? his twitter bio says "former media hack for mayor bloomberg". the tweet has 5 likes and 1 retweet. is he just joking?

oh wait, nevermind - it's on twitter, it's gotta be true

get dave and krist in the phone, let’s make this fuckin happen

FWIW I assumed out of the gate that the tweet was bullshit but when the walls between fiction and reality have collapsed completely literally anything is possible.

many people are saying that bloomberg has prepared barbs for everyone onstage at the debate tomorrow and has promised to say them out loud. they are all about #nirvana

oh wait whatever, nevermind

Nirvana = paradise

I tried to consider the original meaning of Nirvana too but "it's like you're promising the extinction of material attachments and escape from the cycle of rebirth" didn't really scan either. But, yeah, surely bs.

One might say his barbs are in bloom(berg)

Lol

Hey, you rich piece of shit, if you have this much money to piss away on food-for-votes, why not hang up this futile ego stroke you're currently engaged in and, oh I don't know, feed a whole lotta fuckin' people who actually need yr food. Or maybe just go die.

If he died today, his will would just be structured to protect his estate from estate taxes, so there'd be some bullshit new 'charitable' foundation handing out grants to organizations that Mike Bloomberg would heartily approve of, which also begged for money with the appropriate deference to his wishes. The board of the foundation would be crammed with billionaires and ex-presidents and the CEO would be paid $15 million/year.

I'd eat the food and drink the wine tbh

They'll be here with flamethrowerssss

bread and caucuses

this feels like the most blackpilled shit ever

I voted yes in this but, as time goes on, I don't think I can justify that vote.

It really feels like an experiment, like how low can we go and still not be as bad as Trump. I'm struggling with it.

tulsi gabbard vs mike bloomberg

love to go to the polls to choose between a racist billionaire rapist democrat who used be a republican and a racist billionaire rapist republican who used to be a democrat

Wait, I had not heard rape allegations against Bloomberg

Sexism and discrimination allegations, yes

AFAIK that's inferred from his presence in the Epstein flight logs.

tulsi gabbard vs mike bloomberg

i'm actually not sure who i'd pick in that poll -- they're both horrible for completely different reasons

true but it's Gabbard without a second thought

I might take Jeb Bush over Bloomberg

Good Eric Levitz piece:

Maybe Bloomberg’s money can bend our political system to his will; or maybe no amount of advertisements can convince Rust Belt swing voters to support a historically uncharismatic candidate who disdains their “gray matter.” Maybe president Bloomberg would use his awesome, unaccountable financial power to get sweeping climate legislation through the Senate; or maybe he’ll use it to gut the social safety net. Maybe casting our lot with our team’s racist, misogynist, instinctually authoritarian billionaire will save our democracy by keeping the ethnonationalist right out of power just long enough for its voting base to die off; or maybe doing so will extinguish the possibility of achieving genuine popular self-rule in the United States, as Bloomberg’s success inspires a series of super-rich imitators until we all become the subjects of Supreme Leader Bezos.

All we know is that we do not know. And if rallying behind the better of two plutocrats isn’t even guaranteed to “work,” on its own terms — if, to the contrary, there are many reasons to believe it would fail — why on Earth would we make that bet? Why roll the dice on beneficent oligarchy when social democracy looks like (at least) as safe a gamble?

If Jeb! is the Democratic nominee, will you vote for him in November?

would clap

This is bad. Why couldn’t the center rally around kamala or someone?

They should resurrect one of those zombie candidates if they need to oppose bernie so bad.

If he died today

Keep going, I need happy thoughts today.

I think they’ll end up rallying around Pete, once people have an opportunity to see and hear Bloomberg, rather than just the commercial versions of him that he’s been able to push up until now

Beto probably doesn't have anything going on, I bet they could pull him out of his jam room.

But then again, man people make really bad decisions, so who tf knows

i see we're at the hurry up and panic about something that hasn't happened yet stage of the primary... again

y'all are gonna have such whiplash by november

You fucking people watch Chris Matthews or some shit

...nuh uh

i don't have the strength

the creepy thing is how uniform the reasoning is with every bloomberg person i've encountered in the wild - 100% of the time it's "I'm not crazy about the guy but the fact is Bloomberg is the ONLY person who can beat Trump," and then maybe a "the dems need to unite to get the Cheeto out of the White House" and maybe a "Bloomberg has so much money he's going to carpetbomb America with ads" and almost always a "he's richer than Trump and knows how to get under his skin"

afaict it's not bots. i don't live in a super tuesday state so i haven't seen a single ad for him. i'm convinced there's some josie and the pussycats (2001) style subliminal messaging ensuring that every resistance dem on twitter repeats these statements ad nauseam

"know how to get under Trump's skin"

indeed, a secret known only to rare few
