haha...this is like a bizarro world version of how U.S. media would cover the election
- Krassy0
The difference between Bloomberg 2020 and Trump 2016 is that regardless of wealth and ads-buying ability, Trump actually has a following. Does Bloomberg have in reality more than 20 of his fam members, 9 celebs, and 88 random people supporting him?
- In nyc it feels like he has a following. I can’t imagine it would be like this anywhere else. I feel like only NYers would really know much about him.monospaced
- The difference is that Bloomberg is an actual billionaire with actual successful business and actual intelligence and actual experience.monospaced
- He isn’t considered a joke among successful educated, wealthy adults like trump is. He’s insanely hard working and runs an amazing company and brand.monospaced
- Krassy, you forgot to add mono to Bloomberg's list of supporters....robotron3k
- And Bloomberg is on the left. That's another difference.
Fucking LOL.deadsperm - Bloomberg does not even remotely have the following of Trump... NYers don't create a majority, mono... the love (if any) stops in NYC. Krassy's right.PonyBoy
- You can point out 'differences' between these two shitbags all day long however Bloomie is a fucking Joke on both sides... Trump is sadly a hero to many.PonyBoy
- same shit different smell.inteliboy
- I get the respect for Bloomberg, what he did in business is amazing. Trump inherited his money, Bloomberg started from nothing and now 50 times richeryuekit
- than Trump. However I don't think it's going to work for him in this election. Trump and Sanders have had years to build up their supporters.yuekit
- He's also yet another candidate running on his resume and some vague policies. Whether or not you support Sanders or Trump for that matter, both of themyuekit
- have bold, easy to understand policies that are things people want. Strangely none of the other candidates seem to have figured this out yet.yuekit
- I NEVER SAID nyers represent a majority. I said that many here support him. I also NEVER said I support him. I said it’s likely he has no support outside nymonospaced
- Bloomberg is a hero to many as well.monospaced
- Learn to read ffsmonospaced
- I never said you said a fucking thing, mono... I was responding to your comments and merely pointing out that NYC doesn't mean shit here.PonyBoy
- You spoke up about it like it means something which it doesn't on the whole. Bloomie is a lil troll who paid to play... outside of that he offers nothing.PonyBoy
- You can compare the 'differences' of the two clowns all day long but the fact remains Trump has people camping out to get into his rallies...PonyBoy
- ... whereas Bloomie fully caters his shit and still can't fill in an auditorium.PonyBoy
- Can't argue he built a better business and has a far better personal reputation in terms of what he's accomplished... however he's NO different than Trump...PonyBoy
- ... when it comes to way of treating those around him... women in particular. You can jerk off to his 'intelligence' and 'success' all day long but he's...PonyBoy
- ... still rocking how many NDAs between him and how many women because he's pretty much another Trump... only shorter?PonyBoy
- If he's good enough for Clint Eastwood he's good enough for me.deadsperm
- I literally said the same thing. That outside NYC he probably isn’t even known. And you’re acting like I said it was majority support. The OPPPOSITE of what I smonospaced
- Go back. Read carefully. And then you’ll see how ridiculous your interpretation of my words actually are. Jesus Christ holy fuckmonospaced
- Mono's right! And everyone else commenting here is right as well. All good opinions.Krassy
- The point I was trying to make is that you can't just spend money on ads and try to buy the presidency. You need an actual following.Krassy
- No one wanted Trump, either, even after he was elected. He only has a following now because his lackeys believe each and everyone of his lies,formed
- which are re-made for each audience, w zero interest in a single fact.formed
- Comparing Bloomberg to Trump is pretty ridiculous. The only thing they have in common is being self-employed.formed
- @formed I disagree! Trump had a HUGE following and that's why he got elected! LOL! C'mon now.Krassy
- @formed and I'm not comparing Trump to Bloomberg; I'm drawing a contrast.Krassy
- @formed Bloomberg thinks he can buy the nomination and have the Rich Boy appeal that Trump had in 2016. But he's wrong assuming money & ads alone is enough.Krassy

sometimes entertainment cartoons truly can sum up whats going on simply for everyone.

- @mono You're not as woke as deathboy. But seriously, whose fake account is it? There's no way somebody as stupid as deathboy comes here with sincerity, right?garbage
- @garbage Well ... we also have robotron. And something called BustySaintSomething. So, yeah, people as stupid as deathboy do turn up.Continuity
- remember yurimon?monospaced
- I’m not surprised a retard would respond to this. It’s absolutely retarded. Criticizing a politician for raising money through pure clean support? REALLY?!monospaced
- Criticizing him for having the support of Americans and not buying it? Really? That’s the core of our system. You’re a moron deathboy.monospaced
- Ugh.
Yeah.
Yurimon.Continuity - deathboy is so much worse than yurimon, because he thinks he's smartmonospaced
- haha i dont think of myself in such ways mono. only in the ability to realize the bullshit. clearly you miss spending ones own money is regarded as evil********
- for ones own aims, but robbing others through force for ones political aims is good. Thats how fucked up and confused you are.********
- and unless you are confused it's not about campaign funds. The joke is about buying votes through ad dollars or false promises of free shit that falls on tax********
- payers backs.... haha maybe you missed the point********
- but lets see 15 downvotes. nothing against the subject as false. so 15 ppl who rather get a dopamine hit in overt support of their safety beliefs********
- emotional response and the social mechanisms of upvotes/downvotes only fuels echo chambers of ignorance. its better to challenge in sidenote than vote********
- but tigers cant change stripes and not everyone values truth over a comfortable lie********
- perhaps you should question wether you have any of your own thoughts on things or just puppet cheerleaders. learned utopian is as much in climate********
- but hes cool with it. if that is his fix than so be it. some people have church, drugs, or other outlets of beliefs. Now im like meh, he is cool with his********
- illusions. Now seems like a CA sign holder of end is nigh. Or a sunday school dad taking his kids to church for "values"********
- In English, please.Continuity
- acting like you don't understand isn't a new deflection you know. a adult response cont is applying your definition to info and addressing wether correct commun********
- ication. because the thing is humans are still similar to all species in communication. we cant transfer knowledge with a touch we bark. but we have better********
- abilities through language to try and understand which are probably better than socially perceived tones although still effective to some.********
- and continuity to the point would you not say the comic is spot on?********
- and tocqueville said the same shit so long ago. its not like its a new concept . bernie is more bottom feeder than trump********
- haha downvotes = denial to the truth of it
- robotron3k0
- So to differentiate themselves from the Republican candidate, Dems are choosing a guy who firmly believes Nicarauga, Venezuela & Cuba are ideal nations. Great.********
- He will never be a president, because for starters he will never be the the Dem nomineeKrassy
- He's not even a Democrat... and yet he's scoring all their delegates.PonyBoy
- The president doesn't have to be a dem or gopmonospaced
- Lol... no shit, mono. Way to miss the point tho ❤️PonyBoy
- The damage Bernie will do & is doing to the Dem Party is unprecedented. Obama will not support this hot mess either.robotron3k
- mentioning venezuela alongside Bernie = Fox News viewer.inteliboy
- Does it EVER occur to you Pony that a comment isn’t directed at you. Like, even once? Ever?monospaced
- Nice try, mono... lol... that was a direct response. Ease up on the all caps... you look like a child.PonyBoy
- *giggle... I mean... am I not allowed to respond to comments? Yours or others? Even if you're not responding to me (which you are)... can't I respond?PonyBoy
- One word.monospaced
- And no I wasn’t responding to you. Even if you insist I wasn’t. Jesus Christ.monospaced
- lol... uh huh.
Your comment is a direct response to mine... not sure why you're being weird here, mono. You still missed the point btw.PonyBoy - Bernie is not even a Dem... and he's snaking all their delegates... that should piss people off (and it does... many Dems losing their shit right now)PonyBoy
- he's sabotaging the Dem's remote chance of going up against Trump. Maybe he's a secret Trump agent. LOLKrassy
- no, it was not a direct response to yours Pony. Even if you stomp up and down and bitch like a bitch, it doesn't make it true.monospaced
- And since you've chosen to be denser than dense, I'll spell it out because you're triggered beyond reason. I was responding to Krassy. Jesus christ.monospaced
- only person being weird here is you, by insisting and ASSUMING everyone is responding to you, when they ARE NOTmonospaced
- Dude... only triggered guy is you all-capping / tripping because I talked to you. I'll ask you again - even if you weren't speaking to me...PonyBoy
- ... why the fuck are you so triggered (your words and your reaction) by me engaging in the conversation? Both krassy and I made the same point...PonyBoy
- ... and I'll say it a third time... He's not even a Dem and he's stealing Dem delegates. And No shit... thanks for educating us that one doesn't need to be...PonyBoy
- ... of GOP or Dem party to be the Preezy... cuz no fucking way we didn't know that, you smug fuck. Perhaps pay attention to the conversation instead of...PonyBoy
- ... always climbing up people's asses w/your smug approach at educating people here. It's your constant M.O.... yet it's fun to fuck w/at times. <3PonyBoy
- Now... for the 4th time. Bernie is stealing your delegates... doesn't that piss you off?PonyBoy

- whatthefunk9
- if bernie gets in eventually very few people will be golfing... fucker can't even tell you how much his shit plans will cost yet this fuck is whining over golf?PonyBoy
- People will complain about billions in spending on social services yet not bat an eye at trillions in military industrial complex spending or a third of a...whatthefunk
- billion in the president's golfing hobby. We have bottomless pockets for the luxuries of the elite, but when it comes to helping people, suddenly we tighten...whatthefunk
- ...the purse strings. As MLK says and Bernie repeats: it's socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.whatthefunk
- it's because a huge portion of the population have been brainwashed by the the right wing media arm of newscorp.inteliboy
- blame immigrants, blame socialists, blame the bottom feeders, the poor, the libtards.... just not the wealthy.inteliboy
- You list a plethora of good intentions but skip over the part on how you actually pay for (and continue to maintain) these programs Bernie's promising.PonyBoy
- He can't tell you how he's going to pay for them and he stumbles and mumbles everytime someone (even on the left) calls him out for it.PonyBoy
- But //sure... go ahead and tell us how we'll save money because Bernie doesn't golf. :PPonyBoy
- He's going to tax the uber-rich. Are you listening?? Pay attention PonyBoy, you might learn something.Khurram
- Khurram... you are high on robo and bernie's stash if you that that money lasts... ffs, use your head. You might want to engage in that 'learning' you speak of.PonyBoy
- The uber-rich already pay that major nut of this country's taxes... you will drain that money in a matter of years... and then what? MIDDLE CLASS TIME! whee!!PonyBoy
- All hail PonyBoy's comprehension of fiscal policy.Khurram
- There is no way you pay for these programs relying on the rich... eventually everyone will have to fork over a massive share of their income... if they have onePonyBoy
- if you *think that money lastsPonyBoy
- Amazon's profits, on which it pays next to no tax, around going to run out one day.. mmmhmmKhurram

https://berniesander…brandonp - lol... my momma would turn you inside out like the flimsy lil twat you've shown yourself to be, Khuntram... Have fun paying for my healthcare, btw. <3PonyBoy
- I took a peek at that yesterday (or the day before?) when Bernie put that up, brandon... seems it's being ripped apart even by fellow debaters just tonight.PonyBoy
- the uber rich don't pay the same tax rates as everyone else, but if they paid a little bit more they would cover these costs, and it would NOT drain their wealtmonospaced
- he's talking about removing all the corporate loopholes that allow blatant tax evasion in the name of profits ... fixing that would provide billions for servicemonospaced
- There's money available. If it's there for war, it can be there for healthcare.monospaced
- Why don’t we expropriate the golf courses and give it to corrupt beaurcratic officials that make money off public housing. That worked well in Venezuela!hotroddy

Democrats are eating themselves once again in tonights debate.
- It's called passionate political debate. It's how the US primary system works. Were you asleep when Trump rampaged through his primaries?Khurram
- "Eating themselves"? Don't be so fucking ridiculous.Khurram

Bernie just said he was going to legalize Marijuana, empty out the pot criminals from jail and then help Blacks and Latinos start up a marijuana selling business!!!

Universal Healthcare:
Suppliers will suck the budget dry first, the goal is to create debt.
Medicine prices will blow up, a huge gap will be built between supported and non-supported drugs.
Those with influence will exploit the system.
Nobody wants pay the cost to repair or replace aging infrastructure.
- sounds like a corruption. shame, as plenty of other countries figured it out decades ago.inteliboy
- It's relatively easy to design broad principles to govern outcomes for public healthcare. The details get trickynb
- E.g. allow providers a free market, but govt insurance pays a certain amount for procedures and meds. Start with a two-tier system and let the market do it's thnb

It's happening...
Mike Bloomberg reportedly asked Andrew Yang to be his running mate
- smart moveKrassy
- He just took the lead as the Dem nomination and puts him on the Roman road to the WH.robotron3k
- That is, if Yang doesn't decide to be his VP and takes DeBlasios' empty seat as NY Mayor.robotron3k
- No way he comes back from stop and frisk to win over the black vote. The NDA's with women is also a problem. Ain't happening.BonSeff
- Bloomberg's NDAs are a problem? Are Trump's NDAs a problem? Do you want to get rid of him or lose the WH? your purity tests aren't going to win elections.zarkonite
- Ya never know, Obama came back from being against same-sex marriageGnash
- He should select Hillary! That would freak out all the Trumptards and secured most of women's votes.utopian
- Was Obama really against same-sex marriage or was that just the smarter political thing to say at the time?********
- That was an awfully kind way of asking if Obama's a hypocrite, omaha. :)PonyBoy
- ^ no, wasn't saying that.********
