Lol that shit was wild.
I remember when they were all standing behind podiums on TV and instead pushing back against Bernie being like “Yo y don’t we have healthcare” they just criticized the bigger evil instead to make themselves look progressive in comparison.
Where have we seen that before?
Lmao check this shit Politico was putting out: Politico: Thank you, Mike Bloomberg, for rescuing the debate
Why am I talking about the 2020 Primary? Because for me this was the moment I stopped believing in western electoralism. The way both Corbyn and Sanders were treated by their own parties for such mild leftism proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that both major parties are so interested in maintaining capitalism that they would do anything to crush even moderate progressives and leftists from straying too far from the right.
I’d always had my suspicions, but that’s when it fully cemented to me that “Oh, the west isn’t a democracy, whoever gets to run is completely decided by the two major parties that are both capitalist extremists. Even minor good things will never happen while they still exist to kill it before it hatches.”
Remember when Bloomberg threatened to dump one billion dollars in to a spoiler campaign if Bernie won the primary?
In ~100 days - Bloomberg spent a more than a billion dollars on that idiocy. Imagine how much good works that money could have done instead.
Bloomberg’s final bill: $1 billion for a 104-day campaign - POLITICO
He tried to steal Warrens staff and they went nuclear on each other. It was incredible to watch.
God she hates him. Like it’s an impressive amount of hate.

Money well spent to sink the
Still remember buttberg getting asked about stop and frisk and saying something like “yeah, we did it, who was gonna stop us?” Hope he broils on the pavement like a worm.
Yup, the Dems ares “might makes right” just like all liberal/conservative fascists
he’s funding London Breed’s campaign right now
my parents lived through 2020, nodded along at everything I said then, and all it took was watching some Bill Maher and now they don’t seem to remember any of that shit
The US ruling class has mastered the art of controlling it’s people through propaganda
Tbf if you have any sort of financial comfort in burgerland you don’t WANT to have to see the truth. Bill Maher just gave them permission to look away
I remember canvassing for Bernard in Palo Alto and the only door I knocked on that was hostile were two Stanford doctors who told me they were voting Bloomberg because Medicare for All would lower their pay.
In capitalist America, people become doctors to be wealthy, not to take care of others.
Me when my education isn’t liberating
His performance may have stunk, but he inspired rivals to some of their best performances so far.
2020 was like being enveloped by a vast cloud of the Joker’s laughing gas
Thats the only reason they ran RFK
