— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) February 17, 2020
Bloomberg is calling out the toxic online Bernie Bros, calling for Bernie to address the behavior of his supporters. Naturally, the response has been to repeat the behavior or say things like "it's effective" (it's not) or "If you can't handle this, how will you handle it from the Nazis we're running against" (I think they just compared their behavior to Nazis).
Bloomberg is a shit candidate, but someone had to say it.
Monmouth poll puts him and Bernie tied in Virginia and Bloomberg ahead in a head-to-head with Bernie. Bloomberg is a very Trump-like figure for the Democratic party. He has been counted as both a Republican and a Democrat in different times, he is a rich asshole looking for power, and his policies aren't really where the party is. He's also seen as sexist and racist. The only big difference is that instead of Bloomberg being at the forefront of an energizing campaign, he's fighting against one. He's seen as a more palatable choice by many who just don't want the revolution that they see Bernie bringing. I'm not to keen on seeing what will happen if either one gets the nomination.
Honestly, I'd like the both of them to go kick rocks.
