What was the point of Bloomberg entering the race in the first place? He had to know he had basically 0 chance to win with Bernie and Biden in the race. Would it be too crazy/paranoid of me to think he had some sort of deal with the DNC?

He was in the race to stop Bernie, and protect his money from getting taxed. Also, he doesn't like Trump, and genuinely wants a Dem in office. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bloomberg-lost-but-he-may-still-get-what-he-wanted/

Again I will say this one more time and leave it at that. You run a progressive presidential campaign you win - Obama

You run a "centrist"(right wing) campaign you lose - Hillary, Al gore, Kerry.

What did Obama do differently besides run a better campaign than the 3 loser centrist? Oh yea, he won the youth vote in the Primary and energized them. So, regardless of how many times you try this nonsense history is literally on my side here. Centrist presidential campaigns always take the L come november, while Obama ran as a progressive both times and got the W.

Also Hax, you literally know nothing about UK politics if you think that's why Corbyn lost. He sided with the neoliberals in the UK when it came to the one issue that determined the entire election, Brexit. Don't even try that one.

Obama was atleast able to beat Hillary Clinton. Bernie cant even do that.

Again this is oversimplifying what happened in 2016. DNC chairpersons have even gone on record saying that the deck was very much stacked against Bernie even Warren admitted it. The same is happening this time albeit it is a little more fair bc superdelegates are now put in check. Although there shouldn't even be superdelegates at all.

Centrists really did just give us Trump and so few of them actually reflect on what happened.

Also when Obama was running against Hilary he was running a very progressive campaign comparative to her, progressive ideas are popular ideas Obama should've gave centrists that hint.

Haha, oh wow. It's laughable how shameless they are. The bias and the dirty tactics aren't even secretive. This is right out in the open!



 Kinda funny to see Trump telling this like it is. Warren was such a spoiler for Bernie.

Bloomberg is like Trump.  Nobody ever tells him no and he has so much money he thinks he can just buy anything.

Trump spend half the money of HER in 2016 and won.

Bernie outspend Biden 4:1 and lost so far.
