@judgedread It depends on who you're talking about. The DNC would love to have Bloomberg be the nominee. The rank and file Democratic voter certainly hates Bloomberg though. It is also true that the leadership of the Democratic party is quite happy to commit suicide to ensure that Sanders doesn't win to benefit their class interests. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@judgedread The class interests is of most of the American population versus a comparatively tiny number of oligarchs that control most of state policy and use that control to asphyxiate the bottom portion of the society. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@judgedread Bernie is not for open borders so if that's what his supporters want (and I doubt most of them do) then they're voting for the wrong candidate. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@Secftblgirl You're going to have to enlighten me because I have never seen him propose that. I've seen him rail against open borders. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl This article takes his position and then asserts at the end that his position is now the opposite because he's in the Democratic party. 🤷♂️ @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@TheMadPirate Isn't the US a net importer of oil anyways? @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @judgedread
@Secftblgirl There are other ways and means to energy independence. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl Depends on what you mean by best. Certainly not when it comes to pollution. Plus they're finite. Eventually we as a civilization will need to find an alternative. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@gladicouldnthelp In other words you need to implement them on a grand scale which can and should be done. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl Your tax dollars are wasted on useless shit all time. Might as well have it go to something useful for once. Maybe take it out of the black hole that is the military budget. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread @gladicouldnthelp
@Secftblgirl No it needn't . There's lots of options for financing such an undertaking that doesn't involve turning working class people upside down for their pocket change.

@Secftblgirl I'm an adult who accepts that government is not perfect but nevertheless is critical to a functioning society. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread @gladicouldnthelp
@Secftblgirl Fair enough. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread @gladicouldnthelp
