Democrats are such sycophants, eating their own kind. DNC corruption continues to help Republicans to get elected, due to shear voter disillusionment with the process. "What's the point of voting, when our votes don't count?" They simply never learn from their own mistakes.
Meanwhile, Trump is an out of control mob boss, who has thumbed his nose at our Constitution and Congressional oversight. He literally believes that he is above the law and has demonstrated an absolute stranglehold over the Republican party. Trump is an irresponsible bully, who gives everyone gangsta nicknames and brutally punishes anyone who opposes him. He rules by intimidation and everyone around him hates him.
All along, to this very minute, Trump's self-appointed Cabinet (mob) of henchmen are plotting a coup d’état upon our nation. Trump has suggested the elimination of term limits (blatantly illustrated in his recent tweet, with him campaigning into 2048) and his heirs are poised to inherit his crown and kingdom, aka USA. If re-elected, Trump will become our 1st dictator or, as he fantasizes, the biggliest King of the World in history.
Every day, the MSM provide Trump with 24/7 free publicity by broadcasting his propaganda. Therefore, only a media mogul, like Mike Bloomberg, is capable of defeating Trump with millions of dollars’ worth of counter messaging ads. Mike Bloomberg is literally spending a fortune out of his own pocket to save our nation from a lying, cheating, corrupt traitor. This also means that Mike won't be pulled off his platform by some special interest or PAC donations. His own words are his only bond.
BTW, Bloomberg's anti-Trump ads will run up until the November election, even if he is not the Dems' nominee. IOW, those ads benefit all Dem candidates. How generous is that? They should be thanking Mike, instead of demonizing him with accusations of him trying to buy the election. He's only buying ads, just as others are. He is running upon his own integrity. May the best candidate win the nomination and election. Furthermore, Bloomberg only entered the race because none of the field has a chance in hell of defeating Trump (including Sanders). Even after giving his rivals a 3-month head start and a 4-state handicap, Bloomberg's poll numbers are skyrocketing. IMO, Mike Bloomberg is our only hope of saving our democratic republic against Trump's tyranny.
We are supposed to be One Nation, Indivisible, of the People, by the People, and for the People. Please support our nation's only hope for survival. 🙏

Don't you remember the collapse of Wall Street in 2009 that threatened to bring down the entire economy? It wasn't a matter of choice, but survival. It was caused by predatory lending, subprime mortgage foreclosures, and hedge fund managers.
That's why Obama appointed Warren to oversee Wall Street's shenanigans. Trump rolled back those regulations and eliminated Warren's entire department. So, now we are just vulnerable as before. Those regulations and oversight need to be put back in place.
Then, there was the failing automotive industry, which employed millions of workers and contractors. They were bailed out with government loans, which have paid back, in full. Now, the industry is thriving. Their employees and contractors are fine. All's well as ends well, wouldn't you agree?

@georgemaximus694 Our national debt increased by 20%, over the past 4 years,thanks to Trump's mishandling of the economy. His tax cuts for the top 3% caused a $2T budget deficit in revenues. It was 'supposed to pay for itself', based upon an unrealistic GDP of 3.5%. Instead, it immediately nosedived to -2% over the following year. As Biden and the Fed Res predict, the ARP will stimulate the GDP by a 6% recovery, settling back to its 2.25% norm by next year.
However, I fully agree with your concerns regarding our national debt. But. I must point out that Clinton handed Bush a balanced budget. Bush wasted $5T on the ME wars and allowed the great recession in 2008. Obama and Biden put our economy back on track to recovery. Trump's incompetence killed ~200,000 Americans, destroyed our economy, dismantled our immigration depts, created racial and political divisions, and attempted a coup d'etat, just because of his Big Lie about election fraud. Putin couldn't have had a better operative to destroy our nation.
So, give Joe a chance. So far, he's doing a fantastic job kick starting our economy. Now is not the time to with hold investments into our economy. Otherwise, we will only prolong and deepen the harm that has been inflicted upon us. People need to get back on their feet, before battling the national debt. "It takes money to make money."

@georgemaximus694 That's a lot to unpack, but I fully agree with most of your points. Yes, the economical divide is ridiculous, considering the excessive wealth of our nation.
As Bernie says, just a few pennies more taxes upon the top 5% could alleviate a 'uge amount of hunger and suffering by low income families. The 5% wouldn't even notice the difference. It's immoral.
The happiest countries on the planet are the social democracies of Sweden, Norway, & Denmark. Yes, they pay slightly higher taxes, but everyone gets higher education, healthcare, and reasonably priced housing and food. IOW, no one is struggling to get by and crimes are practically nonexistent. Yet Republicans criticize them as being 'socialists'.
Computers guide Wall Street traders and hedge fund managers to accumulate $billions. What benefit are they to society? Half of them can't even tie their own shoes, much less produce something.
Computerized robots and AI are replacing hundreds of thousands of workers. Online shopping is replacing local mom and pop businesses. Whiz kid programmers can spend a month pumping out apps that make $millions on the Internet. Every click we make is tracked in order to target us for unwanted marketing ads.
Someone gets a cut on every YT video we watch.
Our entire economic foundation has dramatically shifted over the past 10 years.
Soon, most manufacturing will be done at home by 3D printers. Hell, they're even 3D printing beef free steaks and entire houses, ffs!
The average hard working Joe doesn't have a chance to compete anymore. Too many people are being left behind. Something's gotta give.

@kurtisboyd No, I'm not joking and every word that I've stated is true. You're still living in the pre-tRump past, before he hijacked the GOP and whipped them into the current anti-government GQP. Now, partisanship is either patriotism or authoritarian anarchy.
"Dems and GOP have an equal amount of blood on their hands due to their lax oversight and close ties to Wall St."
Bush was asleep at the helm in 2007. Obama had to save the banking industry from right wing deregulations, their decades long mantra.
He put Warren in charge of a Wall Street oversight commission and handed tRump a healthy economy. Then tRump dismantled it, just like he did with ICE.
"The Fed bailed out foreign banks with TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in 2019… The Fed. Not Trump."
The year was 2020, during tRump's term. Congress had passed a COVID relief bill, intended for laid off workers, for families to avoid evictions, and small business subsidies during their shutdowns.
When the don signed the bill, the godfather also overstepped his authority by adding side notations and caveats.
Dems knew that tRump couldn't be trusted, so they had appointed an Inspector General to oversee the distributions of those funds. tRump immediately fired that oversight officer and put Mnu(no)chin in charge of distributing the funds. Mnuchin handed out $Billions to his corporate cronies, like it was Halloween candy.
Then the Dems exposed tRump's misappropriations of funds and they were asked to return the $that they didn't need, just to keep the administration out of trouble.
Please stop with the Russian propaganda, claiming that both sides of our government are equally corrupt. That's like stating that mice and elephants are equal.
tRump's GQP conspirators only want to tear down and undermine our democracy for their 'chosen' furor and Putin's obvious puppet. both are blatant mafia.
The Dems are the only ones who have the decency to stand against tRumpism and his corrupt right wing extremists state legislatures, who are deliberately breaking a fair, election system that has been proven to be free from fraud.
The GQP even attempted to replace electors with phonies, just to cheat for their godfather tRump.
I suggest that you start paying closer attention to our government and stay away from Tuckins, Hannity, and Faux Spews.
If you want to know the truth, then get from the same source as MSM, BEFORE they put their spin on it to appease their audiences. That source is Jen Psaki's official White House Press Briefings, a couple of days every week. Forget the pundits' rhetoric and soothsaying of our future. Most of them don't have a clue.

@adoe2305 You've really got a chronic case of TDS, don't you. /smh
Those are tRump's lies. He gave away $Billions of taxpayer's COVID relief $ to his 2% cronies, instead of the small businesses it was allocated for by Congress. Now, the frauds are being prosecuted.
I suggest that you listen to President Biden's speech today, explaining the state of our economy, reducing the national debt by ~$300 Billion last year and projections to reduce it by another $1.2 Trillion this year. Our economy is strong and growing, despite corporate price gouging.
FYI, the Dems didn't shutdown tRump's BS 'booming' economy. His anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, and congregations of his evangelical cult prolonged the CDC shutdowns. FYI, the CDC isn't a political party, they are the scientific- based Center for Disease Control, get it?
tRump is a traitor, who will soon face justice for his corruption. Anyone who still supports him is also a traitor, whether you realize it or not.

Bloomberg can soar above all of this petty DNC infighting, MSM sidelining, and spank Trump in November. 👏👏👏
Bloomberg is not even willing to use his wealth for digging up dirt to smear his Dem rivals and is running on his own merits, even after giving them a head start. How much more honorable could he be than that?🤯
Trump and Bloomberg are entirely different people, with different motivations.Trump is an self-serving ego-maniacal mob boss, who is trying to become King of the World, with his heirs literally waiting in the wings to inherit 'his kingdom'.
Bloomberg has a long proven track record of public service and philanthropy (google it). He spends his money on curing diseases, fighting 3rd world poverty, and climate change. In fact, he is putting up America's shortfall ($5 Million) of the Paris Climate Accord, no thanks to Trump.
Bloomberg doesn't need more money. He already has more than he could ever spend on himself. His goal is to leave behind a legacy of making the world a better place.

Bloomberg 2020! 🤙

@edwardcuevas6974 BS. No matter how you slice it, the WS, software whiz kids, and data driven billionaires, with accountants aren't paying their fair share because of decades worth of Republicans' BS Reaganomics, providing them with countless loopholes and write-offs... no inheritance tax for their privileged brats, for one example.
Republicans give billionaires tax breaks. The billionaires return the favor by "investing" an unlimited percentage of their savings back into right wing super PACs, thanks to Citizens United. "Corporations became people".
Now, Republicans serve corporations, instead of the needs of their constituents.
It's a feedback loop, powered by the working class tax revenues to the greedy filthy rich.
Those IRS is already so poorly manned that they can't enforce the existing tax laws. Those much needed additional agents will fund their own wages by tracking down unpaid taxes, fraudulent filings, under the table transfers of money, and billions of dollars hidden in tax havens by billionaire tax dodgers, just like the tRump org's.
The spending on social safety nets, healthcare, and education lifts up the downtrodden and neglected onto their feet, puts them on the path to employment, making them respectable, independent, taxpaying citizens.
Every dollar towards domestic programs feeds the recipient, passes from their hands to grocery stores, those employees, and the shareholders, who benefit and are taxed with every transaction.
That's what Biden means by building the economy from the bottom up. EVERYONE benefits STARTING with the most needy, not welfare for the most greedy.
