Right. That's about it. Though Bloomberg is a dick, as well, just no where near as rude as Trump.

Pretty sure Bloomberg supports mass infantacide as pretty much all democrats do. Trump doesn't. That's the biggest and most important difference to me.

Also important is that Bloomberg probably (though I'm not sure on this) is for even more gun control and probably open borders as well.

In short, he's a democrat and Trump is a republican so... yep, Trump gets my vote easily.

One other thing... I watch a lot of You Tube videos and I'm sick of seeing Blomberg lying campaign ads constantly shoved in my face when I try watching a video.

All the channels I watch are either right-leaning, neutral, or non-political yet I still see a constant stream of Bloomberg ads (of course I always fast forward past them when I can & when I can't I simply mute my television while the ad plays).

I haven't seen a campaign ad for anyone else, including Trump, in a while. I heard that Bloomberg has spent over $400 million on his campaign so far which, as far as I know, is more than anyone else has ever spent and we've still got a ways to go in the election cycle.

I almost wanna see Bloomberg get the nom. Remember all their whining that trump is racist and sexist? Remember all their whining about billionaires?

I would love love loooove to see them justify voting for a racist sexist billionaire lol.

Bloomberg said 90-95% of killers are minorities. The Atlantic wrote an article defending it as not racist. Fair enough. Hey, who is willing to say they'd give trump or any republican the same treatment for saying the same thing?

Mindship
As a NYC school psychologist, I worked under Bloomberg when he was trying to systematically dismantle the public school system by deliberately setting up schools for failure. He is nigh as much an authoritarian as Trump, and was often referred to as "Emperor" or "King" during his reign (which he extended into an unprecedented 3rd term by promoting a change to city law ... he was also a Republican at this time: Bloomberg changes parties like regular folk change socks).

My wife and I almost threw up in our mouths when he announced his run. So for us, if he became the nominee, it would be a matter of choosing between the lesser of the evils (would you rather be shot once or twice?). At least he acknowledges climate change and is for sensible gun control, and overall plays the political game better than Trump. He's also smarter, richer (no doubt this annoys Cheeto-D), and being a Jewish white male, he'd piss-off the extremes of both sides smile .

I did kinda chuckle at his "if jesus was a jew why is his name puerto rican" joke.

Bloomberg apparently is in trouble for remarks about not just farmers, but factory workers too lol

Lulz, I love how this guy thinks........wallstreet should be the first place AI replaces jobs so we save alot of money and force those "analytical" thinkers into jobs that actually produce somethingsmile

Surtur
Bloomberg asked a pregnant employee if she was gonna "kill it". Also when finding out a male employee was getting married said all the females should line up and blow him.

I mean...kinda sounds worse than shit Trump said about women lol.

Yep.

He'd also not be as devastating to environmental issues like Trump is. But he needs to go away.

Yes, Robtard, are you going to vote for him?


I say you won't. You will do what I might do and vote Green Party or Libertarian.

How about getting laws changed to extend your time in office because NY "needed" a man of his talents to handle the meltdown..........

This guy is what all Democrats complain about Trump x10.

Let me add this guy is the nightmare of american politics where we see how our system allows $$ to rule, no subtlety no behind the curtains literally right in front of our eyes.

Wait a minute though... CDTM just said Bloomberg is "Trump-lite" in a previous post. How can someone who is ten times worse be a "lite" version of said person? Surely CDTM knows what he's talking about, right? wink laughing out loud

TBF, Trump might not be a billionaire, 'just' a high-end millionaire.

Tony Schwartz says Trump's only worth a "fraction" of what he claims, it's all part of his smoke and mirrors show.

Regardless of Trump being a low end billionaire or high end millionaire, Bloomberg is in the elite wealth bracket if being worth multiple tens of billions. That's a major difference imo.

I wasn't disagreeing. I was thinking about the magnitude of being a low end billionaire versus being a top tier billionaire.

In theory, Bloomberg could literally overthrow the government of several countries economically. Heck, he could literally finance a civil war in several countries, theoretically.

It just boggles my mind how much destruction a singular hyper-wealthy person could unleash if they were inclined.

Fair nuff'

F*ck both Bloomberg and Trump.

I won't vote for Bloomberg, even if he pulled the Democratic nomination out of his ass.

If politicians want my vote, they'll have to earn trust and respect first.

That "vote blue no matter who" mantra is absolute bullshit, and it demonstrates complacency and identity politics more than it does any vision or conviction.

Bloomberg is the inverse image of Donald J Trump with a plethora of commonality. Look to the East for ascension from this city of night and view a shining darkness.

Excellent post. It's the way everyone should go about their politics.

Is it voting for one of two out of touch scumbags any less wasted?

One's vote should be an expression of one's desired path for our future, not a defeated nod of complacency for government representatives who don't represent our interests.

Also remember the claims from a lot on the left: Trump is racist so a vote for him means you are racist.

So how would most of them justify voting for Bloomberg? It's like complaining Trump lies and then voting for a different liar merely because they lie less often.

In such situations, I cast a vote for Homer Simpson.



If you're gonna waste it, waste it on the best candidate.

That's why I voted for Gary Johnson in 2016, knowing full well my vote was going to waste.


Robtard later told me I should have voted Green Party as it better represented my positions. He was right.


I don't care about my vote going to a candidate that will likely not win. If everyone voted based on who they thought should lead, then perhaps we wouldn't be stuck with the two corrupt and terrible parties we have.
