> It's just so bizarre how he got any support at all.

I mean... Donald Trump is our president, so if Bloomberg gaining any support is bizarre, we've already been in bizzaro world for the last 4 years.

It's not like the Democrat side of the house is squeaky-clean when it comes to its candidates not doing shitty things.




> Donald Trump is our president,

Good point. And I am thinking people who supported Bloomberg are the ones who protested for the last three years then a decent amount of them turn around and follow another old white billionaire from New York as a viable candidate. Not only that one with who was telling his employees to kill their babies. You'd think 3 years would be plenty to come up with well ... someone else.


Yeah, I find it incredibly bizarre that the DNC can't field a decent slate of relatable, electable candidates, even if you "only" consider the massive number of politicians with experience on the national stage. But I guess they are more incentivized to get their friends into positions of power than to do right by the country and party (though I assume they've convinced themselves that what they're doing does indeed fulfill that duty).
