***Official Political Discussion Thread***

while arguing about bloomberg's potential nomination may be moot at this point, the main thing that makes me prefer him over trump is his need to appease his party if he's in office. unless he doesn't care about reelection, he won't be able to swing completely to the Right.

bloomberg is gonna end up being bill clinton with a 9-digit bank account and no saxophone skills.

 

[rexanglorum]

You heading to that cage in the El Paso desert too?

How about letting ICE deport your wife out the country.

You gonna go without health insurance coverage for your family

You gonna feed your kid water filled with pollution.

How much of the extra carnage are you willing to take on. I am just wondering. Cause if my friends families gonna continue to live in fear of ICE, I want to tell them you gonna practice solidarity with them.

You talk about upseting the sensibilities of bourgeoisie like it is the only extra damage that will be done.

Not voting one thing, but voting for Trump is another. And like I told Present, some of you'll sound privileged as **** with this mess.

The revolution will come, but first let us intentionally martyr a ton of Innocents so people wake up and think like me.

If our system is so broken that it comes to pass that Trump is the second most dangerous major party candidate, you use the election for damage control and you then lean on direct action like never before.

I'm only talking about Bloomberg versus Trump. Not Biden, not Klobuchar nor even Buttigieg versus Trump but Bloomberg.

To all posters, I’m curious about you guys’ early predictions on who will be the Democratic nominee. Also, does your prediction line up with your preferred choice?

I feel pretty confident that Bernie will win the nomination.

Bernie. I was for Liz in the beginning but I was Bernie in '16 so it's was 1A & 1B for me.

Wouldnt shocked me if Abrams for VP

Bernie/Abrams/AOC will get people out and vote so we can wash this Clown.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I’ve never been one to advocate for not voting or just sitting out an election but a hypothetical trump Bloomberg hypothetical I can’t lie I would consider for the first time not voting. Never thought I would have to entertain that hypothetical

That is where I am at. I don't think I can vote for Bloomberg.

If it down to those two, I am getting drunk and high as **** before I go into the voting booth. Srs.

Coherrent enough to properly fill out the ballot, but wasted enough for me to live with the decision afterward.

Catch me walking out the polling station like...

You can leave the ******* ballot blank. You can throw it away on the Green Party or the Socialist candidate. Hell you can write in Bernie. There are other options besides voting for Trump.

You are giving white suprremacy a cosign, again. And that is an appealing option to you change feel good about your direction action helping mitigate the carnage you don't have to directly endure. That you would never sign up for.

So like I said, it comes off as more privileged rather than principled. Your whole "strategy" depends on other people being sacrificed.

If you do not want a white supremacists to be president, then don't vote for one. Bloomberg or Trump. It is ******* simple.

 

[rexanglorum]

If it's Trump Bloomberg on the general ballot, the American political system will have already co-signed white supremacy for 2020 and we'd all be an involuntary party to that.

At that point, it's down to picking the least capable practitioner and that's Trump.

Also, are you implying that Bloomberg will fix the water system in Flint and dismantle the ICE camps. It seems hard to imagine that possibility and it's seems likely he'd expand the depth and breadth of ICE's mission and build more camps.

Edit: to be clear, this voting decision would not be about punishing the Democratic Party (there will be 2022 primaries and direct action for that purpose).

 

[Armada]

Man **** Bloomberg for making us even have to have this conversation

 

[whywesteppin]

Did Big Mama tell you!?! I know she can't keep a secret but you know I couldn't propose and not tell her first. Thanks for the well wishes fam. The "diamond" in the ring is actually coal converted into a crystal. Mined the coal myself then paid a lab to do it. So happy she said yes. The whole thread is invited to the wedding obviously, coal gang and soy boys. Even the one from Belgium .

Yes, Big Mama couldn't help herself. She was very excited for you but, you know how she is, she is worried about the complications that come with marrying a Communist.

I have to say my own fears have been greatly alleviated when I heard about the Coal Ring you got her!!! That is wonderful and great and amazing!

Comrade aepps20 actually gave me the idea for the Coal Ring, so credit must go out to him

I am not ******* saying anything in favor of Mike Bloomberg. I am pointing out Trump will be way worse in specific areas. That was the whole point of my cancer comparison before. That there is extra carnage he will cause over Bloomberg, that you are cosigning.

So ******* miss me with this weak *** excuse.

You have co-signed white supremacists at the ballot before, so if you are gonna do it again, then own it. But don't act like anyone is ******* forcing your hand.

Because I see no principles in your strategy. You handwave Trump's actions, and people serious issue with them, just to rant about the sensibilities regarding PMC. This is just affluent white privilege, wrapped with a socialist bow. Straight circus bathroom status.

This is pretty much my sentiment.

If Bloomberg is the nominee, I'm probably not casting a vote for president. It's not even clear that he's the lesser of two evils, and he's certainly the more competent and polished evil. Nor am I convinced that he won't be able to run rampant, because the GOP will empower him to do so even if many—or even most—Democrats tried to stop him.

If anyone else wins the Democratic nomination, I'm voting for them.

But we can't vote for Trump, y'all. Bloomberg may be even more dangerous than Trump in some ways, but come on

 

[rolaholic]

Bloomberg is a clown

mini Mike had enough naysayers long before the omnipotent bro's™ caught wind of his candidacy

Just ask any latino or black person living in NYC during his time as mayor...

 

[Based Jesus]

I'd rather not vote than vote for Bloomberg. I'm in NY, my electoral college votes will end up going to him anyways.

 

[IATT]

 

[Belgium]

Checked the results of my earlier question.

The overwhelming concensus prediction is that Bernie will secure the nomination, with just 2 outlier responses.
One poster predicts Biden becoming the nominee, another predicts Bloomberg.

As for the preferred candidate, virtually everyone responded with Warren.

 

[dwalk31]

dwalk31 , you told me he wasn't a white supremacist the other day

I never told you anything like that. You said Trump was the first President in modern history to hire a self-proclaimed white supremacist. Our discussion was in relation to “self proclaimed.” Not whether he’s a white supremacist.

As I said the other day, I have not defended Stephen Miller whatsoever and I am not now.

 

[dwalk31]

I feel pretty confident that Bernie will win the nomination.

I think that it will be Joe Biden.

And no, it’s not my preferred choice.

 

[Present]

Yea I’ve read this before your point still stupid

Read your comment in Garth's voice...If I paypal you some money would that ease the pain?

 

[stuntman mike]

pre-impeachment hearing biden would probably have had the best shot to win but not anymore. trump got everything he wanted: 1) to play the victim and rally his base 2) to be indicted and claim victory 3) have a shadow bigger than clinton had with her emails to fall over biden - his biggest threat. i don’t even like biden much but mannn....

 

[youngogjosh]

Bloomberg is a clown

Bernie Bros terrorizing folks on and off the internet

Just in case folks weren't keeping their eye on the ball...



This is what everyone is up against, an actual madman

Yeah, I made a post about how Trump got exactly what he wanted out of this whole Ukraine thing. The one dude that looked like he was definitely gonna wax him is out the paint. I don't rock with Biden as a candidate, but Democrats of all kinds should be pissed at how he got played.

They are gonna manufacturer another one in time for the general too.
