      My least wanted were Bloomberg, Biden, and Harris, in that order. So Bloomberg helped orchestrate the election of the other 2. Fuck the dems so hard

        It can’t be overstated how impactful Bloomberg was in that race. He dumped like half a billion dollars in advertising well before super tuesday on ads that weren’t overtly for him, but with the message that the dems needed a moderate to beat trump. Maybe more important than the Obama phone calls.

      You could tell leading up to 2020 that Biden was their guy. I had zero hope of any other outcome after watching the 2016 shitshow. The only reason Bloomburg even showed up was to disrupt potential Bernie talking time. That guy dumped a bunch of money into his “campaign” and when it was a sure shot for Biden, he said “lol cya”.

      2016 was probably my commie conversion officially but for some reason I still had hopes for Bernie in 2020.
