Yes we can go after Donnie, but no way should we sacrifice our principles in support of Bloomberg just because he has money to run ads and troll trump.

Accepting and rationalising the countless upon countless racist and sexist quotes and policies from Bloomberg that keep coming to light every day doesn’t help us to defeat Donnie, it weakens us because when we give up our democratic core principles in the pursuit of a higher goal, we can’t just credibly pick them up when it suits us again and expect to be taken seriously when we call out either racism or sexism in future.

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