(43,499 posts)And do not toss out MFA as an example, as that is an absolute non-starter in Congress, even if we control both the Senate and the House. Just the public option is going to be a nightmare to get through, especially if the SCOTUS completely invalidates the ACA this summer. If we fail to take back the Senate, every large plan any of us have for reform and improvement is DOA, and you sure as hell are not going to take back the Senate with a pack of bomb-throwing dem socs.
NONE of our candidates favour the rich, Bloomberg's included. They all favour huge rollbacks of the Trumpian tax cuts and an large emphasis on social spending.

(15,535 posts)we've changed the Supreme Court so that political activism is curbed and the Citizens United ruling is overturned so that we put anonymous donor PACs out of business.
Trump has $92 million on hand right now. Dems can't come close in terms of funding and funding is essential to win the social media, TV, and ground games. Want paid staffers on the ground to ensure that everyone's right to vote is protected? That'll be $10 million, please.
I am currently supporting Pete, not Mike. Mike's billionaire status gives me the creeps. And the fate of the nation, humanity, and all sentient beings everywhere rest on an election that we know will be rigged.
Mike is using his billionaire dollars to fund his campaign - unlike Trump, who claimed to be self-funding but was not.
Also, Trump has never been a billionaire - he might be closer now if he had put Daddy's money into a nice money market fund and left it alone instead of doing everything in his power that he could do to lose money.

(8,144 posts)glaring example of racial injustice, and laughing off the idea of an apology tour. Then he got religion.
Snip-
Michael Bloomberg Pushed Stop-and-Frisk Policing. Now Hes Apologizing.
Ahead of a possible Democratic run for president, the former mayor of New York City reversed himself before an important party constituency: black voters.

This article puts the best possible face on his change of heart.

(8,144 posts)justification for them. They will in withdrawing or increasing their support. I am not going to make
a bargain with Bloomberg on their behalf. I wait to see. May he be vetted. He is not our only choice. It is early times to rush into Bloombergs arms.

to tell AA folks who to throw support behind. Personally, I would feel better with Bernie or Warren, but I am not throwing in the towel on Biden.
I am disappointed that privileged liberals and progressives would run towards Bloomberg. I see that as+a betrayal of principles. He is not the only candidate.

(8,231 posts)place to go if Biden is not viable....which I think he is and he should be. I mean it's sad he can't get Democratic support...it's sad that a NON DEMOCRAT who SMASHES and BURNS the party has more support than Joe Biden...I think that says a lot and it ain't good - I have to leave it there.

(20,255 posts)He is able to bust the dump. Trump him and dump him. He got the wherewithal.
This is serious unprecedented. Even if he's not our nominee, he doing serious damage. And I welcome that.

(7,529 posts)He's paying media influencers to create an image of a grass roots campaign:

So it's a legitimate question to ask if his money is also going to astro turfing rallies.
