  1. Bloomberg is why "blue no matter who" is idiotic.

  2.  @camelopardalis84  Regarding, "Can you explain to me what the WARren thing is about? It started before she voted for the military budget" She has always been a friend of the MIC like the 90s republicans she has always been. While you are right this started before she voted for Trumps budget for the department of offense, it proved all the people calling her WARren for a reason correct.

  3.  @camelopardalis84  Regarding, "Just to be clear, I don't like her and..." I get it. I didn't have any trouble understanding your reply and your meaning unlike some. Regarding, "I've just been under the impression that she must have made one - or a couple of - specific things that made people award her with that nickname for a while now." She has always been a hawk when it comes to foreign policy. Never has she ever said anything like Bernie or Tulsi does when it comes to foreign policy. Her apologists in the past who tried to excuse this and claim that she was still a progressive while doing it is because her home state builds lots of weapons. Her detractors would, in part, call her WARren for things like this. Regarding, "I know until when she was a Republican and what the Republican party was like up until that point and you've nudged me into the direction of considering that her nicknam could easily have to do with her being a member of that pro-war party for so long." Progressives are understandably cynical when it comes to politicians. We are used to having people pretend to care about our issues before leaving us high and dry (Obama). Lots have always thought warren was a pretender but only now has she really been exposed for what she is. Yeah she has been called WARren for a while. But only now is most everyone really realizing it.

  4.  @camelopardalis84  Regarding, "I will look into Warren's record on - for lack of a better term - MIC issues." Her record isn't very long. It doesn't include things like a vote for or against war with Iraq. It has more to do with her rhetoric on the topic. And it's never been that of actual progressives like Sanders or Tulsi, it's been that of a typical neoliberal warmonger. Regarding, "MIC issues. And did I get that right?" Military industrial complex which is own personal description of foreign policy. Regarding, "People called her a progressive because weapons were being built in her home state?" I'm saying that people, who were trying to explain her hawkish when it comes to war and foreign policy, were rationalizing and excusing her positions on the topic because so many jobs in her state are tied to weapons development. That that is why she said what she did on foreign policy, not because she is just the type of terrible person who would eventually vote to give billions more in bombs to a commander in chief she calls unhinged, even more money for bombs than the unhinged guy wanted. Regarding, "Or were there just people who felt the need to defend her becauses they liked her for that weapon manufaturing?" I don't really read comments all the way through. I read them as I try to address points as they are being made. Hopefully I've already answered this. I was talking about warren apologists. Who knew that what she was doing wasn't very progressive but wanted to continue to claim that she was a progressive. Regarding, "I fell for Obama in 2008" As did I. What a great conman. The biggest lesson I learned was to follow the money more. Obama was selling his soul. Sanders on the other hand has a campaign that's being paid for by US. And politicians represent who pays for their campaigns. Regarding, "There must be such a huge portion of people in the US who never gets the chance to vote for someone who's in line with or even to the left of them " This country is pretty messed up. I'm old as dirt and I've voted in all presidential elections available to me. 2016 was literally the first time in my entire life that my vote was important. In every other election ever I could have just stayed home confidently knowing that my vote was meaningless because I was living in a deep red or deep blue state and my vote wasn't going to matter. 2016 was the first time ever that I was in a swing state at the time of the election. My very first "meaningful" presidential vote in my entire old as dirt life. I "wasted" it on Jill Stein. I say wasted with quotes because I again knew it wasn't going to matter. It wasn't a waste though. And I've never regretted it. She was the only candidate running that I actually wanted to win.

  7.  @richardgarrison2842  Regarding, "That would be the DNC, still doesn't change Bloomberg is still a Republican." It actually does change things. Regarding, "Just because he changed his registration doesn't mean he changed his positions." No shit. I'm not talking about his positions. I'm talking about the political party he belongs to. That is literally exactly what he was changing when he changed his registration. It was the only thing he was changing. Regarding, "I would even argue Biden is a Republican." Maybe argue that he SHOULD be a republican. Then would could agree on something. That is also the type of thing you get to have an opinion on. What you don't get to have an opinion on is what political party someone actually belongs to. Bloomberg belongs to the "democratic" party at the moment. That's the reality. That's the fact. And we don't get to have an opinion about it. Especially in the context of which I was talking about about vote blue no matter who people.

  8.  @richardgarrison2842  Regarding, "I won't vote blue no matter who." Fair enough. I agree with this.
