Bloomberg was my mayor for many years. He did some good things and some bad things. I think he's good on climate and guns, which are very important to me. Stop and frisk was horrible. The way he abused unions was too. But I'll still vote for him joyfully if he's the nominee.

He's not my favorite, but he is infinitely preferable to the sexist, racist, stupid turd he would be running against.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
