Speaking from that demographic, I can tell you that as a cohort we were definitely smoking pot back in the day. So even if we aren’t currently doing so – among other things, we know there’s a lot to lose if we get arrested for drugs – many of us are still quite squarely in the camp of “make it legal” for medical, safety, and fairness reasons.

Bloomberg is literally an oligarch (aka a plutocrat). Any deal the DNC made with him, unless all the details of it are open and public, is, by definition, a plutocratic conspiracy.

The problem isn’t just the numbers- but what the candidates do about those numbers. Gently now - forcefully if they don’t get the nomination.

Yeah - not running.

Besides - he’s only worth about $250 million. Not really going to jump in late. That’s Bloomberg money.
