***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I'm sure uber drivers have seen all sorts of ****. Most flagrant thing I've done was finger someone and that driver couldn't keep his eyes on the road for ****.

I miss her crazy *** |l

When you accuse a self made millionaire who literally gives his money away to causes "immoral" you will never win a general election in this country. What the hell is this party doing?

Mayor Bloomberg should you exist? was a real question last night, pahlease.......

This lack of nuance is what I hate about the Republican Party. This isn't us.

Its not an unfair question given that some CEOs are worth more than certain countries and currently pay their employees an average salary of $28K a year while being largely subsidized by the US governments infrastructure (Amazon and Bezos). People act like these billionaires did all the work to make these companies worth so much but in reality it was largely created on the backs of underpaid unskilled and skilled workers. Despite the fact that we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in history, wages haven't really risen at all which you typically don't see in periods of extremely low unemployment. No one should be that rich while paying their average worker well below livable wages.

And I fully expect republicans to come in here and say "if its such a terrible paying job then why don't they educate themselves to gain more skilled positions." 1.) not everyone is built for higher education 2.) the cost of said education is astronomical 3.) not everyone can become skilled laborers. There will always be people in these low paid jobs which are taken advantage of by a greedy few individuals who control most of the worlds wealth.
 
Question for you: should billionaires appoint themselves as the overseers of any Democratic political system?

And I'm using "appoint" because the dude is circumventing the political process with all the cash at his disposal.

What's the meaning of this demo (people) cracy (rule) for you, if we allow this to happen?

He is spending his own money to get elected. Do you expect him to be accountable to the electorate?
Money alone isn't propelling Bloomberg, Steyer is a billionaire as well......

Bloomberg is running an effective targeted campaign that speaks to voters. Of course he will be accountable to the electorate, voters provide votes and without those anyone regardless of how wealthy won't go anywhere.

Famb, you really gonna put the cape on for Mr. Stop-n-Frisk?
 
You want to live in a society where self-made becomes a bad thing?

The question is not only dumb (should you exist) It's a non starter for a lot of middle class people.
If said self-made person has also terrorized black, Latino and Muslim communities as a politician, and harassed women in his self-made workplace, then it’s a horrible thing.

What about when Amy was defaulting open shut cases of Police murdering black folks?
What about Pete firing black police AND Fire Chiefs?
What about Liz claiming she was a minority? When she whiter than cottage cheese?

Pete ain’t getting my vote. Amy ain’t getting my vote.

And I encourage you to actually read more about the Warren stuff. She didn’t benefit at all from it. Her places of employment were considering her application as a white woman.

As a black man who has been stopped and frisked by Bloomberg’s police force, I can tell you personally how he has terrorized innocent men like who were just living their lives in New York City. If your response to him terrorizing black and brown communities, illegally surveilling Muslim communities, and harassing woman in the workplace is whataboutism, then I encourage you to look at yourself. Why the need to defend him for this when he didn’t even see an error in stop and frisk until he mounted his presidential campaign, and even up to last night referred to his harassment of women in the workplace as “telling a bad joke”.
