In case you think Michael Bloomberg might be ok as a moderate alternative to Trump, listen to Michael Moore's podcast where he talks about his personal experiences when Bloomberg was mayor of NYC:

The key thing to remember is Bloomberg is not OK, but Trump is on a whole different level of not OK, kind of like being offered the chance to be punched or shot. _________________ “We must always take sides.

It's funny because we are finally seeing what the lesser of two evils looks like, and everyone owes Hillary an apology. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

Debate talking about Black people are being treated unfairly. I'm the one who's gonna fix it,...yada yada yada. Y'all ain't fooling us. We know after the election is over it'll be OK, now back to the cotton fields. No politician can fix racism. It's a taught practice that has to be attacked at the home level. Employers can take a big step by fair employment practices. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

This has begun to progress a bit too swiftly.
First they came for the Latinos
Then they came for the financially poor immigrants
Then they came for the Judges and
1.3 Trillion dollar budget to be dumped on anyone who takes over the Presidency... Financial Ruin incoming . possibly before November |

Not only that, she basically accurately predicted every single evil act Trump would commit if he won. She told us what would happen, and it happened. And now Trump is going to be the cause of thousands of American deaths because he and his administration have massively downplayed the coronavirus and severely cutback funding on all the agencies and postions that would have been able to strategize and prepare for such a pandemic. But Trump is more worried about the stock market tanking and it making him look bad. He's mad not because people will die, but because he might not get re-elected. Now that is evil. And no one on the Democratic side is comparable. |

I am curious if Bernie even talks about how he wants to gain or has gained a Racial Vote? I don't follow much.. just read a bit here and there
Seems like if I was a Minority I would rather be considered an American when voting time came and not divided by Politicians by Race. |

Questioner: " Vice President Biden, how will you stop decades of racial inequality?"
Biden: "Two ways.
Firstly ....
Secondly...
And Thirdly ....

Remember when "TV Nation" aired on Fox and "The Awful Truth" aired on Bravo in the 90s?
I'm surprised anyone can still stomach Moore. He's the Kevin Smith of gotcha documentaries. _________________ Under New Management |

The candidates are proving the genius of Barack Hussein Obama. Has any past president been so positively mentioned as he? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Trump winning a conservative vote on racist populism and big business isn't unique.
Sanders winning a progressive vote on socialist populism wouldn't be unprecedented.
But it's a lot less common than the rich racists winning power in this country. _________________ Under New Management |
