I wasn't disagreeing.

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'
Just wait until Zuckerberg power-up-evolves and realizes his full potential.
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.

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

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.
