      I thought he quit shortly after Super Tuesday, since he wasn’t on the ballot in any of the early states, and I think he only got the most votes on American Samoa, or some other small colonial outpost. Might have been Guam actually.

    funny story: local coffee shop had an in-person bloomberg town hall thing. i asked the owner why i thought you were a bernie supporter. she basically said “still am but those idiots paid me a lot.”

    regret not getting a job / trying to take some of that bloomberg cash back in 2019 whatever. shortie spent almost 1 billion in 3 months.
