The anti-Pete thing really reminds me of Russian trolls.
We are so divided we are just ready to give Trump the White House without a fight.

These posts by SC and ecd are exactly why democrats repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot.

if we don’t have an inspirational voice like Obama or Clinton to win the center we eat each other alive and lose.

hello conservative Supreme Court 2112.

Remember all of the protests against Obama by the Afican-American community because they said he was too upper middle class,  not black enough?  Remember how they complained that he represented all Democrats not just half Kenyan ones?  Remember when a very small sub section of the population felt that he wasn't doing enough for their particular micro-demographic?

Yes, I do. 

Oh good,  so this will be just as useless.  I guess Pete can expect 97% of the LGBT, etc vote too. 

Are you just generally against protests, then?

Definitely.  I think the First Amendment should be erased from the books and the 2A move up a slot and occupy both places.  This is because I’m a Jacobin at heart.  I’m impressed how you extracted that out of my previous post.

So, which protests are ok and which aren't?

I don't understand why they would be showing up to protest Pete and not every other candidate?  Or is this just the media monstering our nothings.

Cause Bernie is scared of Pete and has unleashed his dogs.

That's actually the opposite of what Bernie has done.

Uh sure. I believe him.

Just go with your gut then, ignore everything that he has said publicly these past couple of weeks.

I know you've convinced me with all the evidence you've presented.

That dark conspiracy runs deep.

Bloomberg doesn't speak as coarsely as Trump and he has the vaunted D after his name, but I'd argue we're dealing with the same core personality concerns:

Authoritarian tendencies
Deference to authoritarian regimes
Racist policies
Sexism

Yes. Every video that is being released, every audio recording, every article shows a vile, disgusting person.

No, not even close to as bad as Trump.

The same "core personality concerns" =/= being "close to as bad"

Well I have a have a binary variable decision tree model that I run all political calculations through.   It runs through a series of sub nodes and and anything that gets kicked during the analysis should automatically be illegal.  I’m still running a test and control assessment but it appears I will land somewhere around 98% of all protests should be illegal and result in executions.  All extremists should be shot is my basic rule in life.

sounds rather communist

Lots of people support protests in theory, but disrupt their drive to work and they start asking to see the manager.

Nothing convinces a person of the righteousness of your cause like blocking I-95 during rush hour, causing them to be late to pick up their child.  If they were on the fence before, you get a real advocate by doing that.  

I know. It's like when all those people took the good seats at the lunch counters. How were they expecting to win over the Woolworth's shoppers that way?!?!
