I hope Bernie wins the primary, and I can't wait to see the establishment media rooting for Trump against Bernie, everyone's jaw will drop. 

Only the beginnings, Trump has kept the status quo and the charade of fake resistance that the dems has been flaunting for 3 years will come to an end once Bernie is the nominee.

This debate is... a thing that exists, I guess.

All the Bloomberg / Sanders slamming seems good for Biden in the upcoming contests.



 

 

 

 

 

Woah, I just started to watch the debate an hour late and am around half an hour in, and this is so different from earlier debates. They all are dumping on each other. Wow, is this crazy. Seems they all got nervous. But I have to say, Bloomberg looks bad. Might be my bias, but he doesn't make a compelling case. I like how Warren discusses. And I guess older people could like the way Biden is inserting himself here in the discussion. So I guess these two are winning this bloodbath.

Im missing the debate but im looking forward to the highlights.



Am I am the only one, or does it feel strange that nearly every statement from Bloomberg gets energetic applause by a part of the audience, even if it is not much he says.

Bloomberg is fucking disgusting. He is the embodiment of the corruption, greed and everything that's wrong in our socioeconomical system. First he is trying to buy this election, then he buys "volunteers" to canvass for him and then he buys a huge ass crowd in the debate to cheer for him and boo Sanders and Warren. I can't be the only fucking one who's completely livid over this!!?? And he's just fucking getting away with it! Biden and Klobuchar are miles ahead of this man, I'd rather have them as the centrist nominee.

Saw this about Bloomberg from June 2016

https://www.salon.com/2020/02/25/leaked-audio-mike-bloomberg-trashes-obama-and-vows-to-defend-the-banks-in-goldman-sachs-speech/

"A healthy banking system that's going to take risks because that's what creates the jobs for everybody. And nobody's willing to say that," he said. "The trouble is, these campaigns in this day and age really are about slogans and not about issues anymore. And in this election you're going to see people are voting and they either love or hate, mostly hate both, but who you hate the least. That's what they're going to vote for. And they're not going to vote on issues."

Bloomberg also compared the rising progressive movement in the Democratic Party to the rise of the far right in Europe.

"The left is arising. The progressive movement is just as scary," he said. "Elizabeth Warren on one side. And whoever you want to pick on the Republicans on the right side?"

Bloomberg also added that he believed 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney could have done a better job as president than Obama, adding that his 2012 endorsement of the president was "backhanded." Bloomberg did not endorse Obama in 2008 when he ran against the late Sen. John McCain"

Get the word out about that stuff. Not just here if possible.



I honestly had no clue there was a debate tonight. My two prefered candidates are out of the race/not there, so not really interested. Sounds like I didn't miss much lol.

Biden's going senile..

Bernie got an unusually high number of boos while Bloomberg an unusual number of applause.. Paid for some shills perhaps? Lord knows he pours millions upon millions trying to buy this election so wouldn't surprise me - can't watch TV for 10 minutes without seeing a damn Bloomberg ad.

Or at the very least, likely some wealthier folk in the crowd that would empathize with him far more than the Bern.



"We hold these truths to be self-evident - All men and women created by the, go-you know - you know the thing!" - Joe Biden

Seems we were not the only ones that noticed this very enthusiastic crowd for Bloomberg:
