Duppers's JournalThank you! And contrary to some DU belief...
A lifelong Democrat before seeking elective office, Bloomberg switched his party registration in 2001 to run for mayor as a Republican. He defeated opponent Mark J. Green in a close election held just weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

I was a Bernie gal.
Still am in policy but what I really fear is this label: Bernie is a "socialist/communist/raise my taxes-er".
The problem is that people aren't truly informed enough and will be scared by the RW labeling Bernie.
My one goal right now is removing that treasonous shitler. And we need left and middle voters to do it.
Wouldn't that kick shitler in his tiny little 'nads.
But putting our real president on the ticket would scare away some of the "never-trumpers" who'd cross the line for MB.
Think there are some of those are out there.
I love Brian!!
For a 1000 reasons! Being an animal lover, defender, & vegetarian is up there for me. He's the most intelligent, sensitive rocker ever. And damn, QUEEN! They were all killer Queens! 💕👑
It's my fantasy to meet him one day (before we both croak).
I loved a couple of mine.
I've watched & fed them for years (I live in a wooded area).
They differ in intelligence believe it or not. I had 2 very smart kids who'd remind me of their feeding time. If I were too late, one would climb my window screens going from window to window to find me. (He ignored my hubby who never fed him.)
When I'd crack the back door onto my deck, he'd sometimes come in! Then stare a second or two at my Lab, then back out. A hawk got him, picked him off my deck railing. I do miss him.
Sadly there isn't a smart one in the current group of neurotic little idiots.
Truly. Now a Dem using that term!! 😡
I thought that Bernie would be stuck with the "socialist/communist/raise my taxes" mantra from the right ...but never thought some shit like Carville would stoop so low. Now I understand that marriage.
It's that very mantra, I'm afraid, that would lose us the election.
Sigh.
How come black leaders are now saying...
they're supporting Boomberg?
Congressional Black caucus spokesman, Gregory Meeks, was just on Chris Matthews saying this. Joy Reid has said this. Jason Johnson, political editor of The Root, has said this. They are reporting that PoC are moving to support Bloomberg.
Yet we DUers will feel we cannot "dirty" ourselves with Bloomberg; we hate billionaires and cannot accept Bloomberg's reasoning, apology, or offer of help.
Read what prognosticator Prof.
Rachel Bitecofer predicts (she got the last few elections right) if we go with MY former first choice, Bernie Sanders:

This is so true.
And they will continually throw "socialism/ communist/raise your taxes" at Bernie....and it'll work, unfortunately. Just wait.
On edit: We Dems will feel we cannot "dirty" ourselves with Bloomberg; we hate billionaires and cannot accept Bloomberg's reasoning, apology, or offer of help, despite the fact that black leaders are now saying they're supporting Bloomberg!
