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

Welcome to the debates, Mike. We have a lot to catch up on about Barack Obama’s record. pic.twitter.com/bMYPLYwnfQ

I suspect that if he had arrived at the point where he'd announced his pick for veep, your reluctance to vote for him would be overborne by circumstance.

Do we really have to go through this crap again?

i would have a heady topper with bernie

Steyer is such a well-meaning amateur. It's written all over him. He wants to do good things, but he is out of his field and out of his depth and if he were given the job he'd never figure out why he was failing so badly or what he should do about it until he'd squandered every bit of political capital he'd possessed upon arrival. All he's good for atm is bankrolling ads like that anti-Bloomberg one, which is badly made, but better than nothing.

that Biden ad is actually pretty good

i like how much steyer wants bernie to like him

Drank my first beer since August on Sunday, ready for a beerbribe from Bloomberg.

It takes two to tango, Alfred. Your post I was responding to was pacing over old ground, so my response stayed on that old ground, too. No reason to be testy about it.

It would be nice if a high percentage of money spent on high government office campaigns were directly put into the community jar.

You need new dance moves because this partner's responding to your old ones.

This is like that KiTH sketch about being stuck on a deserted island with Oscar Wilde.

Steyer v Bloomberg: whoever loses, we win

steyer is prob my third choice lol

There has only been one person ever elected US president who was as politically inexperienced as Steyer is. Guess who.

is it james a. garfield

Young Obama, young Bernie and old Bernie would be good hangs. Can't imagine wanting to spent 15 minutes around anyone else who's run for President in my lifetime.

I think I could enjoy hanging with George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, Lloyd Bentsen, Jerry Brown, Paul Tsongas, Bill Clinton, Dennis Kucinich, Jon Huntsman, Jeb Bush, Liz Warren, and Tim Steyer, though obviously drinking to unseemly states would be out of the question with some...

Teddy Roosevelt, Bill Bradley, Paul Wellstone

xp: missed opportunity for infinite regression.

Most politicians are probably ok in person. Not trump bc he has a severe personality disorder and at some level I feel compassion for him, but otherwise.

Like, I’d get coffee with Hillary why not

at some level I feel compassion for him

pvmic

Dude imagine what it would feel like to be as needy as he is.

Not a good lifestyle

If he's running against Trump, of course I will vote for him. It's not a hard question.

Jesus Christ, this post was only five days ago? Anyway, I am willing to admit now that it was premature. I don't think I realized at the time exactly how much Bloomberg sucks.

Even Biden knows

I don’t endorse Republicans. https://t.co/uQMjLdxHA3

Biden on Bloomberg

“The truth is he’s basically been a Republican his whole life. The fact of the matter is he didn’t endorse Barack or me when we ran. This is a guy using Barack’s pictures like, you know, they’re good buddies. I’m going to talk about his record” pic.twitter.com/m0MXsVksUL

joe's a wreckin' machine!

tempted to watch tonight's shitshow just to see everyone unload on bloomberg

but not really

Warren's campaign tanking is her and her team's fault, the same way Bernie not winning last time was his and his team's fault. You can whinge all you like but her numbers were in decline long before any "erasure" set in

I don't blame her, her campaign, or the media, quite honestly I blame my fellow Democrats for not understanding that she's what they're looking for, but that's democracy for ya.

Mookie and i are on the same page

Xps

i almost gave the 'not really' an ®

Heh

Warren lost voters to Buttigieg and Klobuchar when she unveiled her M4A plan. I gather she thought her support was a bit more to the Left than it was. It would have been more politically savvy to push a heavily subsidized public option (Medicare buy in), that wouldn't have raised concerns among those who already have private health insurance they're content with.

Still the most progressive candidate in the race.

handy guide on what to do in case Bloomberg texts you

No thanks!!!

I stayed away from Twitter for my own mental health but am I correct in gathering that Bloomberg basically showed his entire ass

yeah. after getting thrashed by every candidate he tearfully screamed that bernie was a communist at one point, prompting warren to call him a piece of shit. (basically).

good television.

Warren eviscerated Bloomberg. Like not just if you’re a Warren stan, the crowd booed him! It was clear he hadn’t even thought about her.

ready for bloomberg to go away forever now

i think it was clear how at odds he is with the core values of the democratic party

so that's good. the illusion that he is just a moderate like klobuchar or something hopefully is deflated.

the problem is that his ads won't stop, and most people don't watch the debates

but yes, hopefully he'll go away now anyway

hopefully it's clear to him that everyone thinks he's a giant fucking prick
