Politics Mike Bloomberg 'is considering picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate in the 2020

She’d have Bloomers whacked within months after his Inauguration Day, if by some chance that snowball rolled through hell unscathed.

 

Yeah, it must be Bloomberg’s staunch anti-war platform that led you to this conclusion. Lol. It’s funny how many Democrats morally posture about trying to appeal to conservative voters, then when a Democrat like Gabbard actually manages to do so, the same people all shit their pants and cry because she’s not in the establishment clique. Tulsi Gabbard is infinitely better than either of those two corrupt clowns. Bloomberg and Hillary are two rotten peas in a pod and neither of them will ever be president. Bloomberg is responsible for imprisoning countless minorities through flawed policies and fake ass white liberal dipshits don’t even attempt to give a fuck. Anyone who even considers Bloomberg, or Hillary for that matter, as a viable candidate should not be taken seriously.

 

You can't possibly mean me in that. I've been the one saying that you win by being better at turning out your base than the other party, so there's no point compromising your ideals (in terms of your platform, at least) in the fruitless attempt to win over supposed "undecideds" or people from the other party. That might have been viable once, but not in today's deeply-entrenched and polarized American society.

 

I was referencing the completely ridiculous notion that Bloomberg and Tulsi have anything in common whatsoever. It’s just a dumb smear tactic parroted from the corporate media who are funded by the same entities as pieces of shit like Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton.

 

I've never heard anyone compare the two, it was just a tongue-in-cheek pairing by me of two right-of-center Democrats. I'll cede to you your point that they're right of center in different ways but I was unaware of this massive smear campaign of Bloomberg and Gabbard, so please believe me that I'm not "in on it."

 

It’s funny how democrats are republicans now.

 

There is no media smear campaign against Bloomberg. He is an establishment clown who will tow the line. Military contractors, big pharma and insurance companies would be happy to have him fumbling his way through a presidency.

 

Maybe its too much listening to the vocal
minority, but what I think it really is that the “extremes” of both sides have gotten larger then they ever have been, and they seem to have a you do it our way or your out mentality. Were seeing a lot of that with Dems and Bernie supporters right now, they seem to hate other “dems” who arent as extreme as they are in a similar manner they hate the extreme right. -Hate is probably not the right word but Im tired - The right has been that way for a while too, you dont kiss and bow to whatever the heck Trumps doing and many of them basically just say oh you’re a liberal! One of the issues IMO of a two party system in such a large country is that Dems and Republicans try to encompass so many different things they cant even get along within their own.

 

Well, at least we agree that Bloomberg would make a terrible, corporatist President.

 

There is no difference between a moderate Democrat and a Republican. They are the same thing. That’s why Bernie supporters and more hard-lined progressives shit all over moderate Democrats all the time. I wouldn’t consider myself as a leftist by any means and even I can see the same hypocrisies the Bernie people are pointing out. Moderate Democrats are just trying to skate by on meaningless ideological platforms while still being able to tow the fiscally corrupt establishment line. It’s just fake bullshit.

 

In my mind there is. Even if I'm a one-issue voter.

 

Disagree there are differences especially on social and cultural issues.
I see the financial and corporate corruption stuff as well but they are not the same.

 

LMAO. The Democrats have such a knack for picking the most unlikable, out of touch people to lead their party. And that's not even mentioning the rising fringe of Socialist crazies that sour-bag Pelosi is trying to stop.

LMFAO. It's been highly entertaining to watch.

 

Men are ambitious.
Women are power whores.

Spoken like a true Trumper. Especially since there is not an iota of evidence that Bloomberg made the offer or that Clinton accepted, but who needs facts when you can have OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!

 

No, I called Hillary a power whore. Simple. Period.

 

And you are the same!
Both radical brown shirts!

 

The problem with our U.S. congress is too much corporate/billionaire corruption. Both parties are full of bought and paid for politicians who work for their special interests and donors. Increasingly they get less and less done as both parties push corporate/donor agendas rather than policies for all Americans. It's no wonder that 40 years of corruption has brought us this corporate friendly gig economy that is spitting losers out on the sidewalk daily. (Look up how much homelessness has increased since Trump took office. Not to just blame Trump here, homelessness was increasing even before he took office. So there is plenty of blame to go around.)

The other problem that I see is, both parties have been taken over by their right wing. Moderate republicans have taken over the democrat party, and the right wing just keeps going further right. Both parties generally ignore, or even disdain, their more left/center members. Under Trump though the republican party is no longer even on the political spectrum. They are now nothing more than the radical right wing. The left is heading in the same direction themselves in a desperate attempt to hold onto power in their party. It is the reason that both parties are currently split in two.

Not really debating anything you posted, just a random comment/rant on your post.

 

My point was, you can be extreme left or right and they have the same mentality. No reason for compromise! Both wacky. One wants to blow up abortion clinic's and the other military recruiting centers!
They are one of the same, int my mind. I wasn't referring to the Scalawag Pirate!
