I guess some people are ok with an oligarch being president. It's funny what fear makes people do. This would be two presidential elections in a row driven by it.0 -

"16. “They should take all the rapists and all the murderers and put them all together on an island, and all the murderers can be raped, and all the rapists can be murdered, until you’re down to only two rapists or one murderer-rapist, but who cares about him?”or
"17. “95% of your murders — murderers and murder victims — fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops.”
I mean he said both right? Haha...0 -

Ok, i reverse course. It is bullshit to site such statistics in support of a bullshit practice. Agree.

Sad to see people falling for this guy. Obviously racist, sexist, republican and is looking down on people.

I don't think many people are "falling for him." People just think he's in the middle enough to actually have a chance against Trump. Basically a Biden with more resources. And as for him being racist, sexist, and republican, hey to beat Trump, you might have to fight fire with fire.Spiritual_Chaos said:Sad to see people falling for this guy. Obviously racist, sexist, republican and is looking down on people.
The problem with Bloomberg though, which was the problem with Hillary, and the problem with a lot of the current Dems, is nobody will get excited for him. They'll vote for him because they're democrats, or because they hate Trump. But unlike Obama, Trump, and Sanders, he won't have rabid supporters that can't wait to see him be president.
But unlike Sanders and Trump, he won't have the party AGAINST HIM throughout the entire primary like Trump did in 2016, or as Sanders did then, and does now.

Bloomberg once blamed end of ‘redlining’ for 2008 economic collapse
Politics Feb 12, 2020 8:20 PM ESTWASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of the 2008 economic collapse, then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the elimination of a discriminatory housing practice known as “redlining” was responsible for instigating the meltdown.
“It all started back when there was a lot of pressure on banks to make loans to everyone,” Bloomberg said at a forum that was hosted by Georgetown University in September 2008. “Redlining, if you remember, was the term where banks took whole neighborhoods and said, ‘People in these neighborhoods are poor, they’re not going to be able to pay off their mortgages, tell your salesmen don’t go into those areas.'”
