Democratic Primaries 2020 - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

The one I keep hearing is “But he’s a socialist and socialism is bad.”

Then I hit them with social security, Medicare, K-12 education, police departments, fire departments and military all being socialized. They pause, confused, then reset to “But he’s a socialist, we can’t have lazy people getting free stuff.”

At this point you just hit them with the free stuff they’ll get personally.

How bad would it be for Democrats if all the candidates gang up on Bloomberg to the point where he is made to feel so unwelcome in the party that he doesn’t want anything to do with the general election unless he is the nominee vs committing to spend some money to defeat Trump even if he is not the nominee?

Well, Bernie is front runner and he sincerely doesn’t want Bloomberg’s $$$ nor would Bloomberg offer it. Problem solved. Question there is whether Bloomberg just supports some milquetoast Ds in competitive Senate/House races and maybe troll Trump, or does he run as an independent.

Bloomberg is 2nd, so problem solves itself there.

Biden, Bloomberg would love his administration and the influence he would have in it, so he would try to drag Biden’s corpse across the finish line.

Pete/Klobuchar, I’m sure Mike is fine w/ as well.

That is not how we build an inclusive Democratic party, and it is not how we build Donald Trump. We do not build on a foundation of hate.

I saw what you wrote, and you can put it back.

I’m sorry you feel that way about me but I don’t think it’s particularly nice to @ somebody out of nowhere, call them a ‘their_name’-type, and make insinuations about them as if you know them. But then again, I’m being persuasively educated that being trashed for trashing Joe Rogan is part of the dialectical movement to Medicare For All, so I’m ready to do my part.

The cognitive dissonance that allows people to consider those things not socialism but anything that goes to poor/minorities as socialism is truly astounding. If a brown (“lazy”) or poor person stands to benefit more than them it’s bad. They’ve earned those benefits and it’s simply disgusting should someone else benefit from their hard work.

I know you saw it… That’s all I’ll read for the moment

He spent at least $100 million in 2018 on Congressional races and I think he’s pledged a significant amount for GOTV efforts. How much does it hurt Dems if he’s sufficiently cheesed off to withdraw that sort of support? I ask this as someone who is not opposed to making him feel that bad.

So, does the fact that Bloomberg qualified for the next debate mean that it’s smart for him to participate? Or should he just keep spending money like water until the next couple of primaries and the debate are done, then try to crush Super Tuesday and see where he stands, which I would assume being the “stop Bernie” candidate?

Or am I misunderstanding the value of him attending the debate?

I think he will attend, I don’t think it will be smart for him to do it. Like if the other candidates went after his record, it would end badly for him.

I too think it would be great if more of our economy were run with the efficiency of the military.

You didn’t get @ed out of nowhere, lol… Your posting on a public forum.

You got my back up ill admit that and it’s not for M4A, it’s because I believe rightly that your purity test does not apply to yourself…

Or your candidates…

I was with you on the Joe Rogan shit, until he brought on the Bern, and since then I’ve decided to watch the progressive’s he has had on giving those clips-clicks so Joe realises (I hope) that that’s were his audience is mostly at.

I stopped watching his Sports topics because of the Gavin McG show along with others here in the forum.

And yourself continuely bringing JR into TheBern convo’s got tyring tbh.

Edit: for what’s its worth, I ain’t galiec, I’m Scottish and I speak Scot’s the language of Scotland.

I’m not convinced. I think it’s really easy to just paint the trailers as people who are going to try and hammer Bloomberg EXACTLY because they’re a bunch of no-hopers, and that Bloomberg is going to be the only one standing on the “stop Bernie” train. But I’m possibly completely off base, no doubt.

Shhh… The Boss is on

Another rally today, dam Bernie you are active for a 70 year old :wink:

It’s not that you’re trashing Rogan, nobody cares about that. It’s the implication that Bernie shouldn’t have accepted the endorsement. That’s galaxy brain dumb and would have been campaign malpractice.

Lol, you sweet summer children.

Jeez dudes, Rogan has given noone ever a hard interview. He literally has the exact same reaction to Pederson that he had to Cornell West, Jesse Ventura and Neil Tyson Degrasse. He doesn’t really think anything nor is he deeply intellectual. He finds people interesting and presents their viewpoints in a favorable light. The people who understand this and are complaining are just mad that their viewpoint isn’t the one today. The people who don’t understand this are complaining about something they don’t understand.
