In reply to the discussion: Krugman Desperately Invokes Bloomberg Doomsday Scenario to Scare Us into Backing Hillary [View all]mhatrw
(10,786 posts)And it's a completely desperate, utterly tone deaf 4 speculative step brand of scare mongering.
1. Sanders needs to triumph because we all support his policies and are all sick of establishment politicians promising us more government of, by, and for the top 1%.
2. Bloomberg has to toss his name into the third party hat because establishment pundits urge him to rescue the establishment from the angry hoi polloi.
3. Then all of your fellow Hillary supporters need to abandon the Democratic Party en masse because loyalty oaths are only for those pesky progressives whose votes establishment Corpocrats love to take for granted. And Republicans need to keep preferring the batshit crazy billionaire to the semi-sane one.
4. Voila! We all get the fascist strongclown the establishment would far prefer to giving up their rigged economy.
