I, for one, don’t welcome our new oligarchic overlords. Photo: Mark Wilson/Getty Images Michael Bloomberg was, until a couple months ago, one of America’s leading advocates for racially discriminatory policing, financial deregulation, and slashing Social Security and Medicaid benefits. The 77-year-old billionaire has an undisputed history of making sexist remarks to female subordinates and three active sexual-harassment lawsuits pending against his company. He endorsed George W.
There are many reasons why Bloomberg has managed to overcome his unsightly résumé — $418.7 million to be precise. The first 417.7 million reasons consist of each individual dollar he has invested in campaign advertisements, as part of a propaganda blitz without contemporary peer or historical precedent. The other reason is that Democratic voters value “electability” in their 2020 standard-bearer above all else.
Bloomberg’s corner is the one where all the dots aren’t. Finally, Bloomberg is singularly toxic to the Democrats’ grassroots activists and labor groups. Yes, Joe Biden has committed no small number of sins against progressive orthodoxy. But Uncle Joe’s worst deeds aren’t nearly as recent or severe as Mike’s.
To see one illustration of the charity that Bloomberg enjoys from the Fourth Estate, consider this following sequence of events: In the video circulated on Twitter, Bloomberg says: “I could teach anybody, even people in this room so no offense intended, to be a farmer. It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that.”But the video deleted the first part of that statement, in which Bloomberg says, “if you think about the agrarian society lasted 3,000 years, we could teach processes.
And yet, the editorial director of America’s preeminent online political news publication endorsed the campaign’s spin unequivocally. And not only that — his instinctual credulity toward the Bloomberg campaign ostensibly led him to favorably misread phrase “the agrarian society lasted 3,000 years” as “the agrarian society ended 3,000 years ago.”

EricLevitz Seriously?
EricLevitz Clean your ears well
EricLevitz The 2016 election was buyable; what makes you think the 2020 election isn’t? Of course it is!
EricLevitz Presidency always goes to the high bidder.
EricLevitz Do people really think Dem voters are immune to the 'wealth = power and brains'
EricLevitz Nonsense

EricLevitz Going a little too doomsday on this. Bloomberg does good things for many Americans AND the world. Whatever he is, he's far more intelligent and far better than Trump. He has experience.
ZAbdoolcarim EricLevitz He's already bought the MSM

EricLevitz That makes no sense at all. At the end of the day it is people voting!
EricLevitz No what’s bleak is Bernie taking down our party and the country and helping Trump and Putin a second time.
