Lol I mean Warren had the complete opposite stance in 2016 to her current one as well (and was just [justifiably!] badmouthing the electoral college last month!). Time makes hypocrites of us all, does it not?

Where did I say anything about Bernie’s position? That’s my position. We shouldn’t have superdelegates in the first place. 

Very into her shredding Bloomberg. Not as into her trying to position herself to get the nom over the actual delegate leader at a contested convention. 

Gabbard is not anti-war and is certainly not anti-imperialist; for every decent stance (opposed to Syrian intervention) there are as many or more terrible ones (friendliness towards Modi and staunch Zionism, just off the top). She’s not credible on FP, I don’t think.

There isn’t one 

What she’s actually saying is he gave her org a ton of money (which he did) and now hm hey turns out he’s not so bad after all — which is kinda how Bloomberg’s payola scam works.

Completely non-cynically: he’d be doing “enough” by not objecting to having all of his assets seized and redistributed, actually — anything less isn’t especially praiseworthy.

Wait, what’s the problem with remembering the politicians and pundits who were so easily bought out by Mike fucking Bloomberg? Why shouldn’t they be remembered so they can be primaried, or at the very least completely ignored, going forward?

Agreed in full. One of these people is a multi-billionaire who can be counted to veto anything that might harm his pocketbook.

He literally funds Republican campaigns! He is a Republican! The differences between him and Trump are aesthetic, not ideological, and it’s insane that anyone is pretending otherwise. 

There is nothing in Bloomberg’s history that indicates he’d govern any other way than he governed NYC — as a right-wing free marketeer who sought to criminalize poverty and ruined the lives of so many of the marginalized while hoarding more and more wealth for the worst people in the world. Save for aesthetics, he’s…

Yes, the man who destroyed so many lives through stop and frisk and racist policing — who actually lamented that police stopped too many white people and not enough Black — is on record denigrating LGBT people, whose funding is one of the major reasons Kavanaugh is on the SC, who wanted to create a database…

He’s a virulent racist, an honest-to-god oligarch, a horrible misogynist, has insanely right-wing foreign policy stances, is anti-LGBT, an Islamophobe, hates the poor, and he actively funds the campaigns of the worst Republicans out there. He is not a “moderate.” I’ve swallowed a lot of bullshit voting for Dems over…

I live in a swing state and I will absolutely not vote for this fuck in a general election. As a frothing lefty, I’ll admit that the “no difference between the parties” line can sometimes be a bit hyperbolic, but Bloomberg truly is as bad as Trump — worse, even, because he’s actually competent.

One of the most annoying things about electoral discourse surrounding “the left” is this bizarre belief that we think a Sanders presidency represents some ultimate victory after which no one will dare stand against our glorious socialist future as opposed to how most of us view it — as a literal starting line.

It’s not that perplexing when you consider just how little white liberal feminists actually care about dismantling structural inequalities and how much they care about enshrining a more “diverse” (meaning people who look like them but not a step further than that) ruling class.

Whooooo boy would I ever not vote for this man in a general election. 

Yep. I don’t like her politically and her prosecutorial record is indefensible, but she will absolutely cut you and I kinda respect it. I think she’s the most ”authentic” (gag) candidate up there other than Bernie.

I mean I agree, it’d be reassuring if Sanders would make more unequivocally anti-imperialist statements and give up on the illusion of a two-state solution, instead pressing for a unified Palestine with democratic rights for all citizens, but his foreign policy is still leagues better than the Dem alternatives.

Lol she brags about sending an innocent Black teenager to prison for the rest of his life, of course older white liberals love her.
