Someone please tell Bloomberg that paying channers to post memes to his campaign’s twitter account is probably not the best way to look good online.

(This is an entire thread, because of course it is.)

Ah, the “serious and pragmatic” alternative to Biff (and, more importantly, to those bad ol’ socialists). Nothing says gravitas and dignity in a campaign like working with edgelords.

The saving grace about all this is is that older affluent white male Dems living in blue states with no real skin at stake in the election’s outcome will find a contest between Bloomberg and Il Douche entertaining. That’s all that counts, amirite?

“Eat the Rich” is clearly inappropriate. “Force the Rich to Drink Poison Water” isn’t as punchy, but more on-topic.

Oh, and Bloomberg liked that Snyder “took on the unions?” You mean the ones that kept Michiganders from being exploited by the auto companies and ensured living wage jobs? Good thing Snyder took them on so that the car companies would keep jobs in…what? They left anyway? %(&*^(!

Update: methinks someone’s been quietly fired.

That #BernieOnDespots hashtag they were trying to astroturf is now full of people posting photos of Bloomberg hanging out with people like MBS and—of course—Putin, as well as “quotes” from Bernie describing Bloomberg’s own policies like stop and frisk in despotic terms.

Whoops?

Yes, this belongs here, because she’s backing Bloomberg. This is his base.

This topic is temporarily closed for at least 4 hours due to a large number of community flags.

This topic was automatically opened after 8 hours.

She’s not a good campaigner, and she’s more interested in looking good than in actually doing good things. She’s an ex-republican who wants to maintain the status quo, so as to not offend anyone. She’s a weak candidate and Trump would crush her.

The issue here is: Why does one youth, regardless of adjective or community, get the right and the power to influence an important decision that firmly?

Again, change the adjective, see if you still like it: “Ms. Warren has said that her Secretary of Education will have to be approved by a straight student/by a gay student/by a white student/by a black student …”

That’s my objection: Ms. Warren keeps on wanting to turn humans into props that demonstrate her inclusivity, whereas other candidates treat them like humans.

You know the president’s main job is selecting people to do things, right?
