Mike Bloomberg is a racist, paternalistic, Islamophobic, oligarch. And that’s without mentioning that Bloomberg has even more sexual harassment allegations against him than Trump does.
Don’t anybody dare @ me or tell me to “vote blue no matter who,” not when this billionaire racist isn’t even a Democrat. As a BLACK man, I shouldn’t have to pick between the racist Republican who wants to use the police to racially profile me, or the other racist Republican who also wants to use the police to racially profile me. That’s not even a false choice - it’s no choice at all.
My Bloomberg story isn’t nearly as horrific as those in the tweets above. My relatives living under Bloomberg’s racist regime simply instructed me to stay out of NYC if I didn’t want to risk being arrested and harassed and possibly inserted into the criminal justice system. And I listened to them.
Mike Bloomberg is an authoritarian who wants use big government to crack down on poor people and black people, but wants less taxes on the wealthy, and deregulation for billionaires. It is not hyperbole to say that Bloomberg is an existential threat to democracy.
Please don’t let him buy the White House.
But hasn’t he APOLOGIZED for all of this? And openly admit that his privilege and wealth blinded him to the consequences of his actions (which, by the way, was a desperate desire to curb gun violence). This doesn’t make it any less horrible of course, but consider that our current president would never in a million years apologize for anything and is doing his damndest to break down any social programs designed to help non-white non-cisgendered individuals, as well as turn the United States into an actual oligarchy by making the powers of the executive branch uncheckable.
I’m a huge Bernie supporter. And yes if Bloomberg somehow buys the nomination I will be disgusted. But for fucks sake we can’t put our heads in the sand. Getting Trump out of office is priority #1 right now. So, in this particular election, vote blue no matter who.
He apologized???
Vote blue no matte-
Who got you OP? Who washed your brain so thoroughly that you regurgitate the DNC’s empty platitudes? Was it the Stephanie Miller Show? AMJoy? CNN? MSNBC? Were you even aware they were turning you out?? Did they have to knock you out, or did you go willingly?
The “differences” between the two are cosmetic, at best. If it comes down to Trump vs. Bloomberg, then we’ve already lost.
