| tsogud said: #NeverBloomberg has been trending and rightfully so. It seems something that unites progressives and moderates is their disdain for Bloomberg and his past. I don't want a racist, sexist plutocrat to be the Democratic nominee. Also, he will absolutely get demolished by 45 who would posture to the left of him in many instances like he did with Hillary. Democratic elites literally do not care about ordinary people, don't be fooled into thinking they're on the "good" side just because they're Democrats. |
I don't know about ALL democratic elites, there are a lot of them. And with progressive winning some elections the ranks are broken. But sure, some care more about the needs of their wealthy donors than the needs of the ordinary people. And yeah, Bloomberg is outright bad. He is a rich guy who chooses the party as he sees fit for his own benefit. And nothing else.
What really puts me off about the financial data I gathered about the campaigns, that the two billionaires just can crush any fundraising a classic campaign does. This is oligarchy, it is like Ukraine, where a rich guy (like Poroschenko) wins presidency. That is not a healthy democracy. Tom Steyer at least has good intentions, but still I object against a rich guy buying his way into an election. But Bloomberg is outright evil, he is in politics to benefit exactly one person: himself. That must be stopped.
