Michael Bloomberg now has the endorsements of three members of the Congressional Black Caucus. On Wednesday, a day after the former New York mayor again faced questions about his previous support for stop-and-frisk policing practices, Reps. Lucy McBath of Georgia, Gregory Meeks of New York and Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands made no mention of the controversial policing practice that took place during Bloomberg's mayoralty in their endorsement statements. Bloomberg apologized for his support for the practice when he entered the race late last year, but comments from 2015 that surfaced earlier this week in which he defended stop and frisk in stark terms renewed attention on the controversial part of his New York legacy.
"Mike gave grieving mothers like me a way to stand up and fight back," McBath, whose 17-year-old son Jordan Davis was shot and killed by a white man in 2012 after a dispute over loud music, said in a statement. "Nobody running for president has done more for the gun violence prevention movement than Mike." Bloomberg has long advocated for greater gun control measures and has spent millions on the cause.
brother Heat, you see value in these tactics tho, yes?
potus is so shallow and so easy to distract. you gotta bait him like this all the while buttoning into a very confident troll when doing so. not sure bloomberg has the moxie to keep this asymmetrical fight going
thats why I like the Bros. they are like the inglorious bastards. they are into beating down and killin nazis (in this case the fascism is maga) and give zero fucks what you think of them or there tactics
>>and lol at centrists supporting oligarchs, and racist ones at that.
Whether you agree or not, it's kind of important to understand what where people are coming from. For instance, you say that a vote for anyone but Bernie is a vote for more of the same. At the same time, millions of people don't see it that way. To them, every one of the candidates, including Bloomberg, would be a huge change from what we have and would be infinitely better. While you see them supporting a racist oligarch, they see it as supporting the best chance to get rid of Trump.
I get it, you hate them all and think they are all the same. While you're looking at fixing a major, systemic problem, others are looking at stopping the bleeding.
I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that it's all opinion. I also know that you can write in Bernie in Vermont and it won't matter. If you were still in PA, a swing state that will come down to a few thousand votes, and did that, you sure as hell would be keeping Trump in office.
Honest question, ogkb, do you think that they are all as bad as Trump? I ask because that's the vibe you put off.
Bloomberg is the UNITER the Dems need right now. We need a candidate who will protect the struggling, working people of the billionaire class and to further raise drug costs & college tuition to help us continue beating down the poor.
I'm Bloomberg want to spend a cool billion to troll the fuck out of Trump, drive him crazy, and push him over the edge to a public melt, I'm all for it.
^" If Bloomberg wants to spend a cool billion to troll the fuck out of Trump, drive him crazy, and push him over the edge to a public melt, I'm all for it."
And I trust Bloomberg to spend another billion helping whoever gets the nomination. He wants Trump gone as much as the rest of us, and has the cash to throw around. More power to him, even if he manages to get enough votes to be the Democratic nominee (please no though). Yes, Bloomberg is still a better choice than Trump (please no though).
More cash to the Democratic primary winner please and more cash toward defeating Trump and driving him (more) nuts.
All he has to do is keep saying that Trump isn't a billionaire, that he's a failed businessman, and that's why he won't release his tax returns. Then, maybe a comment or two about how Ivanka isn't as desireable as her daddy thinks she is.
need to get more small penis commentary from the laundry list of non-disclosure agreement ladies and see if any of that russian kink in the steele dossier is for realsies
Stayer has been doing the anti Trump thing for years. It sounds good, but bounces of Trump's back. It gets to him when Bloomberg does it.
Bloomberg needs to stop jabbing and unleash the wrath of his $60 billion on Donnie; turn him in to a sniveling twat in front in front of the entire nation.
centrists support trump 2.0? of course they do, right woz?
64 different women. 40 lawsuits. who here supports this? raise your fucking hand.
please, explain how'll you justify supporting this incredible unvetted oligarch, that is interfering in our elections in a corrupt manner. go ahead, please. thank you.
Ogkb, can you please stop demeaning people who have different opinions than you? Enough with calling people stupid and ignorant. You aren't an expert in politics or the the economy, nor are you a fortune teller. Stop with the shit, would you?
What team's that, Turts? I've yet to decide who I'm voting for, but I have said who I won't vote for in the primary. Bernie is not on that list.
Those who say that a vote for anyone but Bernie is a vote for "more of the same" is saying that they are all the same. Is there another way to look at it, especially if they won't vote for anyone else in the general?
It's getting Trump out, and I'm not holding anything back, the Democrats aren't going to nominate Bernie and Bloomie is most definitely not Trump. Typical "Bernie Bro" talk that it doesn't matter. It does.
Gun Control, Climate Change, taxes.......the whole works. Why don't you go and read about the platform the is running on. The fact that you think his policies would be the same as Trump's reveasl an individual who has done no research or even engaged in a critical analysis of the situation.
NEW: two members of DNC rules committees are simultaneously working on Mike Bloomberg's presidential campaign. One was just nominated by DNC Chair Tom Perez to be a vice-chair of the Convention Rules Committee.
re; mikebloomberg dot com - i see nothing in the foreign policy section about bringing our troops home or ending the decades long US policy of economically motivated regime change war, i see he wants to continue the US's failed prohibitionist drug policies by banning flavored vapes, instead of any mention of citizens united or concrete campaign finance reform i see a list of tropes and platitudes strung together to have as wide an appeal and be as noncommittal as possible, his healthcare plan just expands on the ACA, leaving the for profit health insurance industry intact, and like the ACA, leaving middle class americans in the lurch. the opioid epidemic section is like a draconian tour through 1990's american drug policy - not a single mention of narcan, a teeny tiny mention of methadone and bupe at the bottom, no mention of any of the proven ways countries/states have effectively combated opioid addiction/overdose, like cannabis legalization, drug decriminalization, supervised injection sites, needle exchange programs, or ibogaine. just a tiny section on criminal justice reform that says basically nothing, offers no ideas or solutions, and does not even fleetingly mention ending cannabis prohibition, changing our drug policies to a treatment based model, the prison industrial complex, police corruption/brutality or prison reform.
if you want to vote for bloomberg go right ahead, ill just be over here jamming my wiener in this meat grinder.
I'd vote for briank - seems more level headed than most zoners. Stays on topic, politely gets point across, not overly vulgar. How ya look on a billboard ? Not too baby frightening ?
>“I talked to somebody from the Bloomberg campaign, they said they’re hiring an expert on narcissism and combining that — no, this is for real — and combining that person with a comedy writer to get in Donald Trump’s head,” Couric reported.
^ And get him some platform shoes. He's like the political Mickey Rooney, but not as entertaining. His monotone voice is sooooo boring. Someone teach him to use some range fer Christ's sake.
In another attempt to drain the swamp Donald Trump has just fired The Great Pumpkin. Trump reasons " He's a pale orange compared to me,and a socialist that gives free candy to children on Halloween. Next up Santa Claus?
"i hate trump, he's literally the worst, he's racist and sexist"
bloomberg is a racist and sexist. nobody read the article above (64 women, 40 lawsuits......woz supports this, doesn't believe woman).
"i hate trump for implementing the muslim ban, argh!"
bloomberg had the nypd spy on nyc muslims.
centrists -- how do you explain supporting this?
he just wants to keep the taxes low for his boys, trash the unions, cut ss, push privatization, throw more black people in prison for being black.
if you support this you're a republican -- which is fine, but don't kid yourself into thinking he represents the working class or even the democratic party -- this isnt the progressive working class policy people are screaming for, that'll defeat trump. this is more of the same. this is a weak campaign designed to help republicans (trump) and hurt bernie. he's an oligarch, indisputable. think.
You are incorrect, Timpane. Bloomberg was a life long Democrat, switched to Republican in 2001, then independent in 2007, then back to Democrat in 2018
Pyramid, Bloomberg has said that he will spend a billion dollars to defeat Trump, even if he not the democratic nominee. I'm guessing that you don't believe him, or just unaware of his statement.
i see you ignore bloomberg's racist, sexist statements. i'm guessing that behavior is acceptable to you.
replacing one racist sexist billionaire w/ another racist sexist billionaire, fixes nothing. just b/c he'll make you feel like shit isn't as crazy, doesn't mean it's not. he's smarter than trump, which makes him more dangerous.
bloomberg is a 78 year old racist republican w/ stents. hahaha. facts.
Lumber, will you tell us more about Russia and the Mueller report?
All kidding aside, you may want to stop whatever you're doing and watch this clip of Steve Bannon discussing the Bloomberg/Clinton situation, it's an enlightening take on the current scenario.
Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo 2.16.2020
It's not a game, Pyramid. Trump has appointed over 190 federal judges, 2 Supreme court justices. Another term would surely mean one or two more Supreme court justices. It's unfortunate that you seem incapable of understanding the long term consequences of this.
Unlike you, I am worried about the damage Trump will undoubtedly do, given another term.
^He just changed parties. Where's the lie? He endorsed Goerge Bush for President. He's a racist. He wants blacks behind bars. So if you support him then you are supporting racism and sexism. No lies there
then you should worry about what bloomberg would do as well, given his record, public comments, who he's supported, donated to, fundraiser for, policy he's passed and advocated for. horrible human.
oh but he's the real billionaire lol. he'll spend 100 trillion dollars on professional trolling. my god, grow the fuck up. that doesn't beat trump, and you say you're worried. are you tho? b/c it doesn't seem like it from your posts.
the long term consequences are here man -- were living in it. fucking over the poor and working class got us to this exact moment. thank you democrats and republicans.
we're taking the party back from you greedy corporatists.
I think you're just confused and you think that you will make yourself feel better voting for Bloomberg because he's a "democrat" but really he will do virtually the same thing as Trump but not be as obnoxious on Twitter. Not sure where you are from but anyone who's lives out East knows the damage that Bloomberg did as mayor and the racist agenda he supported. The media can only fools those outside of the area I suppose. You have absolutely been fooled if you think I Bloomberg doesn't support a racist American justice system.
C'mon man even on Sunday you can't resist your juvenile name calling. As time goes by bro its only you who display meltdown behavior, and every day you get worse. You need to get wise pyramid, and get yourself to church. So obvious you need spiritual as well as intellectual guidance, bad. Find a Tripple Rock some where near you, soon
ras went through extra effort to post a picture that has nothing at all to do with any topic at hand. Seems to be any white males over 55 strategy. Just distract from any real issues at hand in order to try and win an argument and/or make themselves look good. They even end up distracting themselves.
I live in Jersey, Timpane. I am well aware of Bloomberg's record, the good and the bad. I even have a Republican friend from Queens who hates Bloomberg because he is too liberal.
>Where is the lie?<
You stated that he was a life long Republican. That is not true, he became a Republican in 2001.
Yes, Pyramid, I am worried. I am worried that progressive won't vote for a moderate in the general election, and I'm worried that moderates won't vote for a progressive in the general. Me? I know that Trump is an existential threat to our country, and I will vote for the Democrat running against him.
And, no, the long term consequences aren't here yet. This is a preview. Give Trump four more years and things will certainly accelerate. Most folks are far too myopic.
i know, you've stated many times you'll "vote blue, no matter who", even if that blue is really a red, and racist, and sexist. i know, i get it. you would support a racist and sexist republican over a racist and sexist republican.
Ok sorry, Bloomberg converted back to "Democrat". Look obviously there's nothing anyone can say to convince you, but it seems you are very confused on what your voting for. That's all.
Turtle, I don't think Sanders can win the general. Specifically, I don't think he can win Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Florida. Honestly, I'm not sure any of these candidates can beat Trump.
Fuck off, Pyramid. This is how assholes like you mess it up for Sanders. Facts don't matter, just fall in line and shut up. And if you don't, you will be slandered.
Hell, I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary. I'm not sure who will still be standing come Jersey's primary.
Lumber, I would watch yourself unless you want to get a knock on your door by the Bernie Bro DBMB mob. Heard through the grapevine, they are also creating these enemies lists on phishhook and String Cheese message boards, too. However, word on the street is the Panic board has too many southern ex frat dudes to get any real interest or traction.
Only you. I'm sorry if you lack the self awareness to understand that you are a sanctimonious prick.
>everything i've posted about bloomberg has been fact<
For weeks you've been insisting that your opinion regarding Sanders is fact.
>lumber supports racists<
You slandered me by claiming that I support racists, all I stated is that Trump is worse than Bloomberg, and that Bloomberg is not a lifelong Republican.
"Anyone making personal attacks in my name is not a part of our movement." -Bernie Sanders
Bernie said that after the Bro trolls attacked some Nevada labor union for not supporting him. I am sure Bernie wpuld be ashamed to know the vitriol the two here spew at us non-stop.
you mean the entrenched power structure is not going to allow a democratic socialist to become president?
Trump will wipe the floor with a candidate that will be labeled a socialist. The Democratic part of that label will not be used. It will be like shooting fish in a barrel for the Republicans. Trump must be stopped and if Bernie gets the nod we pose the election. It's that simple.
>>>Do you think that economic conditions influence presidential elections?
Its all about the economy. Yes, it affects elections and will affect everyone else running against Trump, like Biden and Mayor Pete..
But while a booming stock market might benefit the top 1%, that doesn't help the millions of working class families who are struggling under the crushing weight of medical bills and student debt, something that people in most other advanced countries don't have to even think about.
Cutting just a fraction of our bloated miliary budget and imposing just a small increase in taxes on corporations and the most wealthy could eliminate those problems outright. America is the richest and greatest country on the planet and with a little bit more compassion and forward thinking, it can be even better.
But while a booming stock market might benefit the top 1%, that doesn't help the millions of working class families who are struggling under the crushing weight of medical bills and student debt, something that people in most other advanced countries don't have to even think about.
Yet a gallup poll from just last week cites more than 50% of the electorate as saying they are better off than 4 years ago, so unless something goes dreadfully wrong, the economy is a plus for Trump.
Well kids, I'm currently taking a well needed vacation and getting some R&R - in the hospital. Massive internal infection, and what have you. Between the IV dilaudid every few hours and having so many tubes in my arms, it's hard to type.
Fuck brother how'd that sneak up on you, too many fried twinkies or did that sum bitch pyramid give you an ulcer ? I'll gouge that fuckers liver out with a dull spoon. I mean, we'll be good, you get better.
woz def just isn't paying attention, doesn't understand a political movement is needed to defeat trump, and the working class is proving it's possible.
a racist republican billionaire running as a dem won't beat trump.
a centrist won't beat trump, we saw that in 2016.
bernie gives us the best shot, it's really not even close.
nobody excites the electorate like bernie, generates passion and energy, again, not even debatable.
the coalition is there, the strongest and most diverse, majority female coalition, almost 10mil individual donors now, raising money like trump is, except this is real, 100% grassroots -- nobody else is even close -- again, if bernie's campaign was bidens or pete's, you'd all be screaming for everybody else to drop out and support the obvious choice --
what are you all fighting this so hard for?
many centrists say "i don't like any of the dems running" -- that's amazing, b/c we literally have the absolute best possible candidate running to represent americans, an FDR democrat, in our lifetime -- there was always so much talk about how hrc was the most qualified candidate ever -- actually that's false, bernie is. it's right in front of you. he is the compassion candidate, organizer in chief, people trust him, he is what beats trump -- he speaks to all people, no other dem does that.
Get well soon Brian, in your honor I'll share this moment...I was at Sunday evening mass and the priest discussed the importance of civil dialogue...it will certainly be my intention moving forward.
The healing process is beautiful, never underestimate the human body's ability to heal...every day will get better!
If you find yourself in a scenario in which you'd like to focus on the very best quality "best films ever" type classics as you're recovering...might I suggest this:
Dear Donald Trump I'm an independent voter. MAGA doesn't resonate with me because I always thought America was Great,but maybe I'm just naive.
Anyway can tell me how many miles of The Great Beautifully Wall that you promised to build with pesos is accomplished?
If you put your tax returns in a time capsule and bury it under the wall not to be opened until the year 2050 or until a Mexican drug tunneler finds it.
I will Strongly consider voting for you rather than the other billionaire. Time is ticking.Please let me know A.S.A.P.
it's not, lumber. it just shows your massive disconnect from what's actually happening.
the strongest candidate is bernie, and i've listed all the reasons why. you keep saying he can't win swing states, all the info says otherwise. remember hrc lost michigan and wisconsin, first time in like 30 years for both states. that's called not being electable. any centrist will lose those states again. obvious. bernie wins those swings states, fact. he won wisconsin 71 out of 72 counties, hrc lost the state to trump. same for michigan. PA.
a centrist just won't get the votes needed to defeat a very strong donald trump -- and remember, he's even stronger now b/c of pelosi's complete disaster of an impeachment trail.
so besides bernie having the strongest, largest, most female, most diverse coalition, out of any candidate, by far, has the most votes, won both iowa and nh, has the most cash, donations, donors, massive ground game, is the front runner, has the lead in most super tuesday stares, will win nevada, looking to come close in S.C. (which would be considered a win for him), he has the strongest minority support across the country. i mean, bernie raises 25mil in january alone -- if pete/biden/bloomberg did that centrists would be calling for all other to drop out and rally around said candidate. no doubt. you're in denial if you don't think so.
so who do you think should be the candidate?
pete has literally zero minority support, he can't win.
bloomberg only has money, no coalition, can't beat trump. is racist, sexist, a billionaire, from nyc -- that shit isn't gonna fly against trump, plus he's a republican.
who is your choice man? who in your eyes can motivate enough people to show up and defeat trump? who will get enough youth, latino, black, muslim, female votes to defeat trump? pete or bloomberg won't. who will? biden? he's a dead man walking. klobuchar? haha. she'll get destroyed even before the 1st debate :::
the answer is stupid easy, and right in front of you. as ken said above, think big. that's what it'll take to defeat trump. not some lazy lame ass excuse of we must wait or now isn't the time. that logic and lazy thinking is what will get trump re elected, and we know you don't want that.
>who is your choice man? who in your eyes can motivate enough people to show up and defeat trump? who will get enough youth, latino, black, muslim, female votes to defeat trump? <
I don't see any candidate that is a slam dunk. However, i believe that Sanders has no chance of winning in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. You're not going to win the Philly suburbs by telling people that you want to take their health insurance, raise their taxes, and put them on Medicare. A moderate has a better chance of winning Pennsylvania and Ohio. You cannot hold up Clinton as the standard bearer for all moderates, she had her own unique set of problems. And given the Cuban expats, old white folks, and Florida Man, someone who is not an avowed Socialist has a better chance of winning Florida . No Democrat will win wthout taking 2 out of three of these states.
Moderate candidates received 20,000 more votes than the progressive candidates in the NH primary. Who will the other states vote for? This is not certain. So it is unrealistic to suggest that the candidate currently leading the delegate count should consider dropping out. Again, this only demonstrates your irrational bias
man you're comparing how many candidates to bernie for vote total?
very weak argument.
just post the answer here when you think of it. i'll be waiting.
i didn't say pete should drop out -- i said if your centrist was polling like bernie, raising money like bernie, pulling in donors like bernie, you and the corporate media would be calling for all the drop out and rally behind.
I did answer the question, you just disagree with my answer.
>I didn't say pete should drop out -- i said if your centrist was polling like bernie, raising money like bernie, pulling in donors like bernie, you and the corporate media would be calling for all the drop out and rally <
I took your hypothetical scenario and applied it to the current reality, and your assessment is ridiculously bias.
>man you're comparing how many candidates to bernie for vote total<
I'm adding the vote total for the top 8 candidates, 5 progressives (Sanders, Warren, Yang, Steyer, Gabbard) and 3 centrists (Buttigieg, Biden, Klobuchar)
^No. I have made no such assertion. I am saying that I am not convinced that Sanders can pull enough moderate and independent voters in the general election. And I'm saying that in the general, I do not believe that Sanders can win Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
^You said it yourself that Sanders was an independent for a while. So why would he be able to pull independent voters out to vote for him? Realistically he has the best chance of swaying independents.
Wonder how much other shit he's promising will be a let down to his leg humpers.
AOC concedes Sanders may have to compromise on Medicare for All
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) conceded Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders' signature Medicare for All proposal would face congressional roadblocks if he was elected president, telling HuffPost: “A president can’t wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want."
Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez is a vocal proponent of Medicare for All and one of Sanders' highest-profile surrogates. She told HuffPost: "The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so."
I do not believe the average voter in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Florida could give an accurate description of democratic socialism if you held a gun to their heads. It’s a boogeyman word.
I know, elf, but I don't believe they are inclined to vote for a Socialist, even a democratic one. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Sanders has had some nice things to say about Fidel Castro.
Okay, but you said you think they have a decent grasp on socialism. I’m asking how so?
Dropping the “democrat” part, hammering the “socialist” part, and trying to stack other political isms (communism, nazism, whatever) on top of it like we all know trump is going to do is intellectually dishonest, and trying to frame a rational discussion around it is pretty irrational. Especially without taking the time to even define the words we’re using. Don’t you think?
every time you are talking about bernie and think of a point that involves cuba, venezula, or the soviet union, do yourself a favor and punch yourself in the dick as hard as you possibly can, then google "the nordic model".
>Dropping the “democrat” part, hammering the “socialist” part, and lumping all the rest of the political isms (communism) in with it like we all know trump is going to do is intellectually dishonest<
And it works, that's the point, elf.
>Okay, but you said you think they have a decent grasp on socialism. I’m asking how so?<
>>Okay, but you said you think they have a decent grasp on socialism. I’m asking how so?<<
I refer you back to your comment regarding intellectual dishonesty, and to my response.
Larry, the average undecided voter doesn't care about the Nordic model.
Again, lumber you are the one who said he was an independent, and the correct term is democratic socialism. The funny thing is that socialism has existed your whole life for businesses and corporations that don't even need it and you never batted an eye but now all of a sudden when it comes to socialism for citizens then you are against it?
"I remember, for some reason, being very excited when Fidel Castro made the revolution in Cuba."
You likely won't hear the next sentence when it's used in an ad.
How about this one...
"I was very excited and impressed by the Cuban Revolution."
>The funny thing is that socialism has existed your whole life for businesses and corporations that don't even need it and you never batted an eye but now all of a sudden when it comes to socialism for citizens then you are against it?<
No, I never said that I am against it, I said that it hurts him with the majority of the electorate.
“Way back in, what was it, 1961, they invaded Cuba,” Sanders said, “and everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world and all of the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated their kids, gave their kids healthcare, totally transformed the society.”
In 1989, Sanders effusively praised the "Cuban revolution" in a public statement from the mayor's office.
"For better or for worse, the Cuban revolution is a very profound and very deep revolution. Much deeper than I had understood," Sanders wrote. "More interesting than their providing their people with free health care, free education, free housing ... is that they are in fact creating a very different value system than the one we are familiar with."
Sanders mocked the notion that Cuba was an undesirable place to live, chalking up criticisms of the island nation as right-wing propaganda.
"Right-wing citizens could come back [from visiting] with first-hand evidence of all the horrors in Cuba, etc., etc," Sanders wrote dismissively.
its going fine, considering she is just publicly stating what has been obvious to anyone with a brain since day one.
you mean in a legislative branch almost always split around 50/50 between left/right we are going to have to compromise? oh holy shit, back to the drawing board folks.
and if anyone actually cared to look, there are easily searchable clips of sanders providing very reasonable responses to the criticism he has received over his 40 year old comments about cuba.
is the argument against sanders now just boiling down to admitting the bulk of the american population is so incredibly stupid that the only chance we have of not being led by an insane cartoon character is to elect corrupt wall street/deep state/military industrial complex puppets?
>is the argument against sanders now just boiling down to admitting the bulk of the american population is so incredibly stupid that the only chance we have of not being led by an insane cartoon character is to elect corrupt wall street/deep state/military industrial complex puppets?<<
Seems like he was stating that he was for the government that the revolution was able to accomplish. I don't see anywhere where he said anything nice about Castro personally at all. I happen to think he was right. We disbanded Cuba completely based on the fact that a revolution that wasn't funded or backed by us in anyway had succeeded and we couldn't make money off it so we alienated the country which was very close to us geographically. We did it simply because we are and have always been a country based on racist and oligarchical values and anyone who has stood up or gone again at us whether right or wrong has been dealt with in the most inhuman and disgusting way possible. Good for Bernie.
Puerto Rican Voters are likely to vote against Trump.>>>>>
Wrong one again. Republican voters are huge in the Hispanic population in that area. Also, you should know that PRs vote does not hold any electoral votes and does does not participate in the general election.
Mr Timpane, I am referring to Puerto Ricans registered to vote in one of the 50 states. Also, do you recall how the Trump administration responded to the hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico? I doubt that Trump can count on much support from the Puerto Rican community.
>Seems like he was stating that he was for the government that the revolution was able to accomplish<
"I was very excited and impressed by the Cuban Revolution."
The next sentence will not be included in the ad.
Do you really believe that most people will search out the entire speech in order to provide context?
Bernie bro's is a funny term seeing that most of Bernie's supporters are women and minorities.
If The worst he did was say that about Castro then I'd say you have pretty much nothing. Bloomberg on the other hand has a long list of shit to clear up
Timpane, I'm not sure what you are trying to say with the double post. But I suppose it is easy for you to dismiss Sanders comments regarding Cuba, however, I do not believe Cuban Americans will share your perspective. The Cuban Americans I know certainly disagree with anything positive regarding Castro or the revolution.
And I'm not sure Bloomberg can sustain his candidacy, given all the negative revelations.
Just checking in to see if you all have figured this out yet. It looks like there's been no movement in the past few months. Maybe we should reset the board and start anew?
Seems like anyone who still cares about Castro will probably be voting straight ticket GOP regardless of what Bernie may have said about Cuba in the past.
You can also google how the “Nordic Model” has struggled, especially lately. There have been huge shifts in policy in the last few elections especially in Sweden and Denmark.
Lumber truck, you don't get to speak for Cuban Americans if you're not one. Might be time to admit to yourself that you're just another American white male who thinks he knows what minorities want but really you don't at all.
centrists still melting. since we're calling names....
thod you continue to be the dumbest mother fucker up in here. wow. i mean, by far. it's always stunning when dumb fucks like yourself make it into their 50s. don't you get sick of it?
just overall lazy thinking. zero compassion. greedy. selfish. scared. all this leads to your status quo corporate rule.
thod, do you not know what worst case scenario means?
you try so hard to beat down bernie and the campaign, w/ complete nonsense, it's just super desperate, sad look man, anti american. the corporate media and centrist political hacks like tanden, carville, o'brien, rubin, are melting b/c the movement can't be stopped. you just echo their weak ass talking points. remember when they all were yelling bernies too old and and his heart etc? you were saying the same shit. nothing about bloomberg. same for the taxes. keep shaking your head, bitch.
where's the oppo research? they have nothing. nothing will stick. no candidate has been trusted the way bernie is, so you fucks just don't understand it. i know, it's different. wow.
socialism, lol. bernie bro's. think about it. that all you have. doesn't work.
and lumber, all you say is bernie can't win and offer nothing else. you won't say who you support or who you think can beat trump.
it's anti american to not rally around the clear front runner to defeat the biggest threat to our democracy in modern times, and instead spread misinformation. absolutely.
>Lumber truck, you don't get to speak for Cuban Americans if you're not one.
I'm not trying to speak for anyone. This is way I've qualified my statements with I believe, and IMO.
And you stated yourself...
Republican voters are huge in the Hispanic population in that area
Part of that voting block are Cuban Americans, who have traditionally voted Republican. Given that, and positive statements about the Cuban revolution, I do not believe that Sanders can win the Cuban American vote. Again, my opinion.
But you disagree, so you insult me.
Are all Sanders supporters angered by disagreement?
Oh, add in the old white guy vote, ( am i aloud to comment on these people?) and Florida Man, I believe that Sanders is the longest of long shots to win Trump's new home state of Florida.
Pyramid, I've stated repeatedly that I am not convinced any of the current Democrats can win. They all have their baggage. Don't mind me, my primary is June 3, should be wrapped up by then.
Don't you worry, I'll rally around the Democratic nominee.
>>> it's anti american to not rally around the clear front runner to defeat the biggest threat to our democracy in modern times, and instead spread misinformation. absolutely. <<<
that's some st. red pill, t. boof shit right there.
How did I insult you? By calling you a white male trying to speak for minorities? That's just the truth. Sorry if the truth insults you but maybe nobody ever told you that you're not qualified to speak for Cubans because you're not one. We could keep going back and forth but I'm not insulting you. I'm just just trying to educate you. It seems this election the 55+ age bracket has some learning to do. It's happening right in front of our eyes and it will be ok when the big change happens. You guys won't have to keep fighting for whatever candidate you're not sure that you support yet.
Ok, you're just a condescending jerk. Again, I am not speaking for anyone, I am giving my opinion, which is based on the voting history of Cuban Americans. How many times has a Democrat won the Cuban American vote in a presidential election? The truth is you don't agree me, so you dismiss my opinion. Also I'm under 55.
Oh, if I'm not allowed to say that I believe that Cuban Americans won't vote for Sanders, can Pyramid continue to insist that African Americans won't vote for Buttigieg?
I was around a bunch of centrists and they all agreed they'd vote for Bernie in the general if he's the nominee. Funny how the Bernie contingency is so undecided on this topic when the opposite scenario is brought up. Makes me think that none of them have taken responsibility for their role in electing Trump the 1st time.
Equating Bloomberg as the same as Trump is a verified Russian talking point.
No, Pyramid, I agree with you, but Timpane says I cannot say that because I am not African American.
I was talking with a couple friends the other day who believe that African Americans would vote for Buttigieg, "when push comes to shove, the people will come out to vote against Trump."
Timpane, the friends I'm referring to are African American, so they're allowed to offer an opinion, right?
Heat, your pitch still needs some work. When you tell people to "fall in line", the most likely reaction is " go fuck yourself".. Is that really what you're going for?
but also, grow up? it's obvious who the candidate to run against trump should be. the only one w/ a political movement, that's what it's going to take to defeat the guy.
why do you care if i'm sharp sassy or straight up rude? vote bernie to get the evil man out. pretty simple.
Russia Backs Trump’s Re-election, and He Fears Democrats Will Exploit Its Support
A classified briefing to lawmakers angered the president, who complained that Democrats would “weaponize” the disclosure.
American intelligence agencies concluded that Russia, on the orders of President Vladimir V. Putin, interfered in the 2016 presidential election.Credit...Emmanuel Dunand/Agence France-Presse —

Feb. 20, 2020, 4:55 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON — Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump re-elected, five people familiar with the matter said, in a disclosure that angered Mr. Trump, who complained that Democrats would use it against him.
The day after the Feb. 13 briefing to lawmakers, Mr. Trump berated Joseph Maguire, the outgoing acting director of national intelligence, for allowing it to take place, people familiar with the exchange said. Mr. Trump cited the presence in the briefing of Representative Adam B. Schiff, the California Democrat who led the impeachment proceedings against him, as a particular irritant.
During the briefing to the House Intelligence Committee, Mr. Trump’s allies challenged the conclusions, arguing that Mr. Trump has been tough on Russia and strengthened European security. Some intelligence officials viewed the briefing as a tactical error, saying that had the official who delivered the conclusion spoken less pointedly or left it out, they would have avoided angering the Republicans.
That intelligence official, Shelby Pierson, is an aide to Mr. Maguire who has a reputation of delivering intelligence in somewhat blunt terms. The president announced on Wednesday that he was replacing Mr. Maguire with Richard Grenell, the ambassador to Germany and long an aggressively vocal Trump supporter.
Though some current and former officials speculated that the briefing may have played a role in the removal of Mr. Maguire, who had told people in recent days that he believed he would remain in the job, two administration officials said the timing was coincidental. Mr. Grenell had been in discussions with the administration about taking on new roles, they said, and Mr. Trump had never felt a personal kinship with Mr. Maguire.
Spokeswomen for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and its election security office declined to comment. A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A House intelligence committee official called the Feb. 13 briefing an important update about “the integrity of our upcoming elections” and said that members of both parties attended, including Representative Devin Nunes of California, the top Republican on the committee.
The Washington Post first reported the Oval Office confrontation between Mr. Trump and Mr. Maguire.

That was in Tennessee. Heard on the radio the other day that Bloomberg was going to open campaign offices in SW Washington just over the river. I was thinking, "Oh, those places are going to get trashed."
“I am only effective as long as there is a shadow on white America of the black man standing behind me with a Molotov cocktail." - MLK
One of EW's volunteers canvassed my neighborhood yesterday. He literally intruded into my backyard where I was enjoying a nice cold beer in peace. I told him I'd already voted for Sanders and expected I'd be voting for him again in November. The guy got this pouty look on his face so I offered him a beer and he got all mad. I think he thought I was making fun of his candidate, but I just felt sorry for him.
Note to the EW campaign, probably not a good idea to send canvassers with anger management issues out to people's private homes.

Michael Bloomberg now has the
Michael Bloomberg now has the endorsements of three members of the Congressional Black Caucus. On Wednesday, a day after the former New York mayor again faced questions about his previous support for stop-and-frisk policing practices, Reps. Lucy McBath of Georgia, Gregory Meeks of New York and Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands made no mention of the controversial policing practice that took place during Bloomberg's mayoralty in their endorsement statements. Bloomberg apologized for his support for the practice when he entered the race late last year, but comments from 2015 that surfaced earlier this week in which he defended stop and frisk in stark terms renewed attention on the controversial part of his New York legacy.
"Mike gave grieving mothers like me a way to stand up and fight back," McBath, whose 17-year-old son Jordan Davis was shot and killed by a white man in 2012 after a dispute over loud music, said in a statement. "Nobody running for president has done more for the gun violence prevention movement than Mike." Bloomberg has long advocated for greater gun control measures and has spent millions on the cause.

>>and lol at centrists supporting oligarchs, and racist ones at that.
Whether you agree or not, it's kind of important to understand what where people are coming from. For instance, you say that a vote for anyone but Bernie is a vote for more of the same. At the same time, millions of people don't see it that way. To them, every one of the candidates, including Bloomberg, would be a huge change from what we have and would be infinitely better. While you see them supporting a racist oligarch, they see it as supporting the best chance to get rid of Trump.
I get it, you hate them all and think they are all the same. While you're looking at fixing a major, systemic problem, others are looking at stopping the bleeding.
I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that it's all opinion. I also know that you can write in Bernie in Vermont and it won't matter. If you were still in PA, a swing state that will come down to a few thousand votes, and did that, you sure as hell would be keeping Trump in office.
Honest question, ogkb, do you think that they are all as bad as Trump? I ask because that's the vibe you put off.

re; mikebloomberg dot com - i see nothing in the foreign policy section about bringing our troops home or ending the decades long US policy of economically motivated regime change war, i see he wants to continue the US's failed prohibitionist drug policies by banning flavored vapes, instead of any mention of citizens united or concrete campaign finance reform i see a list of tropes and platitudes strung together to have as wide an appeal and be as noncommittal as possible, his healthcare plan just expands on the ACA, leaving the for profit health insurance industry intact, and like the ACA, leaving middle class americans in the lurch. the opioid epidemic section is like a draconian tour through 1990's american drug policy - not a single mention of narcan, a teeny tiny mention of methadone and bupe at the bottom, no mention of any of the proven ways countries/states have effectively combated opioid addiction/overdose, like cannabis legalization, drug decriminalization, supervised injection sites, needle exchange programs, or ibogaine. just a tiny section on criminal justice reform that says basically nothing, offers no ideas or solutions, and does not even fleetingly mention ending cannabis prohibition, changing our drug policies to a treatment based model, the prison industrial complex, police corruption/brutality or prison reform.
if you want to vote for bloomberg go right ahead, ill just be over here jamming my wiener in this meat grinder.

he just wants to keep the taxes low for his boys, trash the unions, cut ss, push privatization, throw more black people in prison for being black.
if you support this you're a republican -- which is fine, but don't kid yourself into thinking he represents the working class or even the democratic party -- this isnt the progressive working class policy people are screaming for, that'll defeat trump. this is more of the same. this is a weak campaign designed to help republicans (trump) and hurt bernie. he's an oligarch, indisputable. think.

Its all about the economy. Yes, it affects elections and will affect everyone else running against Trump, like Biden and Mayor Pete..
But while a booming stock market might benefit the top 1%, that doesn't help the millions of working class families who are struggling under the crushing weight of medical bills and student debt, something that people in most other advanced countries don't have to even think about.
Cutting just a fraction of our bloated miliary budget and imposing just a small increase in taxes on corporations and the most wealthy could eliminate those problems outright. America is the richest and greatest country on the planet and with a little bit more compassion and forward thinking, it can be even better.

a racist republican billionaire running as a dem won't beat trump.
a centrist won't beat trump, we saw that in 2016.
bernie gives us the best shot, it's really not even close.
nobody excites the electorate like bernie, generates passion and energy, again, not even debatable.
the coalition is there, the strongest and most diverse, majority female coalition, almost 10mil individual donors now, raising money like trump is, except this is real, 100% grassroots -- nobody else is even close -- again, if bernie's campaign was bidens or pete's, you'd all be screaming for everybody else to drop out and support the obvious choice --
what are you all fighting this so hard for?
many centrists say "i don't like any of the dems running" -- that's amazing, b/c we literally have the absolute best possible candidate running to represent americans, an FDR democrat, in our lifetime -- there was always so much talk about how hrc was the most qualified candidate ever -- actually that's false, bernie is. it's right in front of you. he is the compassion candidate, organizer in chief, people trust him, he is what beats trump -- he speaks to all people, no other dem does that.

it's not, lumber. it just
it's not, lumber. it just shows your massive disconnect from what's actually happening.
the strongest candidate is bernie, and i've listed all the reasons why. you keep saying he can't win swing states, all the info says otherwise. remember hrc lost michigan and wisconsin, first time in like 30 years for both states. that's called not being electable. any centrist will lose those states again. obvious. bernie wins those swings states, fact. he won wisconsin 71 out of 72 counties, hrc lost the state to trump. same for michigan. PA.
a centrist just won't get the votes needed to defeat a very strong donald trump -- and remember, he's even stronger now b/c of pelosi's complete disaster of an impeachment trail.
so besides bernie having the strongest, largest, most female, most diverse coalition, out of any candidate, by far, has the most votes, won both iowa and nh, has the most cash, donations, donors, massive ground game, is the front runner, has the lead in most super tuesday stares, will win nevada, looking to come close in S.C. (which would be considered a win for him), he has the strongest minority support across the country. i mean, bernie raises 25mil in january alone -- if pete/biden/bloomberg did that centrists would be calling for all other to drop out and rally around said candidate. no doubt. you're in denial if you don't think so.
so who do you think should be the candidate?
pete has literally zero minority support, he can't win.
bloomberg only has money, no coalition, can't beat trump. is racist, sexist, a billionaire, from nyc -- that shit isn't gonna fly against trump, plus he's a republican.
who is your choice man? who in your eyes can motivate enough people to show up and defeat trump? who will get enough youth, latino, black, muslim, female votes to defeat trump? pete or bloomberg won't. who will? biden? he's a dead man walking. klobuchar? haha. she'll get destroyed even before the 1st debate :::
https://twitter.com/sunraysunray/status/1229046641673592832?s=12
lol that's who the nyt endorses. shit is rough.
the answer is stupid easy, and right in front of you. as ken said above, think big. that's what it'll take to defeat trump. not some lazy lame ass excuse of we must wait or now isn't the time. that logic and lazy thinking is what will get trump re elected, and we know you don't want that.

I don't see any candidate that is a slam dunk. However, i believe that Sanders has no chance of winning in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. You're not going to win the Philly suburbs by telling people that you want to take their health insurance, raise their taxes, and put them on Medicare. A moderate has a better chance of winning Pennsylvania and Ohio. You cannot hold up Clinton as the standard bearer for all moderates, she had her own unique set of problems. And given the Cuban expats, old white folks, and Florida Man, someone who is not an avowed Socialist has a better chance of winning Florida . No Democrat will win wthout taking 2 out of three of these states.
Moderate candidates received 20,000 more votes than the progressive candidates in the NH primary. Who will the other states vote for? This is not certain. So it is unrealistic to suggest that the candidate currently leading the delegate count should consider dropping out. Again, this only demonstrates your irrational bias

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) conceded Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders' signature Medicare for All proposal would face congressional roadblocks if he was elected president, telling HuffPost: “A president can’t wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want."
Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez is a vocal proponent of Medicare for All and one of Sanders' highest-profile surrogates. She told HuffPost: "The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so."

In 1989, Sanders effusively praised the "Cuban revolution" in a public statement from the mayor's office.
"For better or for worse, the Cuban revolution is a very profound and very deep revolution. Much deeper than I had understood," Sanders wrote. "More interesting than their providing their people with free health care, free education, free housing ... is that they are in fact creating a very different value system than the one we are familiar with."
Sanders mocked the notion that Cuba was an undesirable place to live, chalking up criticisms of the island nation as right-wing propaganda.
"Right-wing citizens could come back [from visiting] with first-hand evidence of all the horrors in Cuba, etc., etc," Sanders wrote dismissively.

Seems like he was stating
Seems like he was stating that he was for the government that the revolution was able to accomplish. I don't see anywhere where he said anything nice about Castro personally at all. I happen to think he was right. We disbanded Cuba completely based on the fact that a revolution that wasn't funded or backed by us in anyway had succeeded and we couldn't make money off it so we alienated the country which was very close to us geographically. We did it simply because we are and have always been a country based on racist and oligarchical values and anyone who has stood up or gone again at us whether right or wrong has been dealt with in the most inhuman and disgusting way possible. Good for Bernie.

Timpane, I'm not sure what you are trying to say with the double post. But I suppose it is easy for you to dismiss Sanders comments regarding Cuba, however, I do not believe Cuban Americans will share your perspective. The Cuban Americans I know certainly disagree with anything positive regarding Castro or the revolution.
And I'm not sure Bloomberg can sustain his candidacy, given all the negative revelations.

Republican voters are huge in the Hispanic population in that area
Part of that voting block are Cuban Americans, who have traditionally voted Republican. Given that, and positive statements about the Cuban revolution, I do not believe that Sanders can win the Cuban American vote. Again, my opinion.
But you disagree, so you insult me.
Are all Sanders supporters angered by disagreement?
Oh, add in the old white guy vote, ( am i aloud to comment on these people?) and Florida Man, I believe that Sanders is the longest of long shots to win Trump's new home state of Florida.
Pyramid, I've stated repeatedly that I am not convinced any of the current Democrats can win. They all have their baggage. Don't mind me, my primary is June 3, should be wrapped up by then.

Russia Backs Trump’s Re-election, and He Fears Democrats Will Exploit Its Support
A classified briefing to lawmakers angered the president, who complained that Democrats would “weaponize” the disclosure.
American intelligence agencies concluded that Russia, on the orders of President Vladimir V. Putin, interfered in the 2016 presidential election.Credit...Emmanuel Dunand/Agence France-Presse —
By Adam Goldman, Julian E. Barnes, Maggie Haberman and Nicholas Fandos
Feb. 20, 2020, 4:55 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON — Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump re-elected, five people familiar with the matter said, in a disclosure that angered Mr. Trump, who complained that Democrats would use it against him.
The day after the Feb. 13 briefing to lawmakers, Mr. Trump berated Joseph Maguire, the outgoing acting director of national intelligence, for allowing it to take place, people familiar with the exchange said. Mr. Trump cited the presence in the briefing of Representative Adam B. Schiff, the California Democrat who led the impeachment proceedings against him, as a particular irritant.
During the briefing to the House Intelligence Committee, Mr. Trump’s allies challenged the conclusions, arguing that Mr. Trump has been tough on Russia and strengthened European security. Some intelligence officials viewed the briefing as a tactical error, saying that had the official who delivered the conclusion spoken less pointedly or left it out, they would have avoided angering the Republicans.
That intelligence official, Shelby Pierson, is an aide to Mr. Maguire who has a reputation of delivering intelligence in somewhat blunt terms. The president announced on Wednesday that he was replacing Mr. Maguire with Richard Grenell, the ambassador to Germany and long an aggressively vocal Trump supporter.
Though some current and former officials speculated that the briefing may have played a role in the removal of Mr. Maguire, who had told people in recent days that he believed he would remain in the job, two administration officials said the timing was coincidental. Mr. Grenell had been in discussions with the administration about taking on new roles, they said, and Mr. Trump had never felt a personal kinship with Mr. Maguire.
Spokeswomen for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and its election security office declined to comment. A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A House intelligence committee official called the Feb. 13 briefing an important update about “the integrity of our upcoming elections” and said that members of both parties attended, including Representative Devin Nunes of California, the top Republican on the committee.
The Washington Post first reported the Oval Office confrontation between Mr. Trump and Mr. Maguire.

That was in Tennessee. Heard on the radio the other day that Bloomberg was going to open campaign offices in SW Washington just over the river. I was thinking, "Oh, those places are going to get trashed."

One of EW's volunteers
One of EW's volunteers canvassed my neighborhood yesterday. He literally intruded into my backyard where I was enjoying a nice cold beer in peace. I told him I'd already voted for Sanders and expected I'd be voting for him again in November. The guy got this pouty look on his face so I offered him a beer and he got all mad. I think he thought I was making fun of his candidate, but I just felt sorry for him.
Note to the EW campaign, probably not a good idea to send canvassers with anger management issues out to people's private homes.
