Bloomberg in 2013: Civil libertarians and teachers union are like NRA 'extremists' [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

Heaven forfend! n/t rzemanfl Feb 2020 #1

Um, yeah, being against labor unions and civil liberties are not whathehell Feb 2020 #4

Why would we want politics running the police department? mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #2

Nope. I'm not a teacher, but I'm a medical member of the teacher's union. He shit all over us. Squinch Feb 2020 #5

Really? squirecam Feb 2020 #6

Of these candidates? Unless we coalesce around one of the moderates really soon? Yes. Squinch Feb 2020 #7

Then we should drop Bloomberg from consideration squirecam Feb 2020 #9

My fear is that we drop Bloomberg, we get BS, and we lose. Super Tuesday will Squinch Feb 2020 #12

THANK YOU !!! uponit7771 Feb 2020 #16

I think so. I don't think Amy can do it. Dream Girl Feb 2020 #8

I'll take your word for it as I don't know either way wrt his attitude towards teachers unions mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #18

He was actually pretty good to the cop and firefighter unions, though. Squinch Feb 2020 #21

Well, to NOT be good to them in NYC in the post-9/11 era would've been political suicide mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #24

So was Rep. Gov. Scott Walker -- It was only the Female-dominated unions whathehell Feb 2020 #27

WHY are people consumed by the idea that "Only Bloomberg can beat Trump"? whathehell Feb 2020 #23

He's pro-choice, pro-environment, pro-reasonable-gun-control, pro-LGBT rights ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #25

So are all of the other candidates, and NONE of them have whathehell Feb 2020 #32

And none of them is running against Filthy Donnie. They are all running against Squinch Feb 2020 #33

Of course they are, but the Primaries are part & parcel of the process whathehell Feb 2020 #34

Mark my words: Bloomberg will never enter the dogfight the other candidates are waging Squinch Feb 2020 #35

So you think he'll just try and buy his way in? whathehell Feb 2020 #36

That has nothing whatsoever to do with what I said. Squinch Feb 2020 #37

Oh, I think it definitely does whathehell Feb 2020 #46

Now you're just making up shit in your head and having a conversation with it. Squinch Feb 2020 #48

Lol..Looks like I hit a nerve whathehell Feb 2020 #54

Wow! Keep going. This is fascinating. Squinch Feb 2020 #55

So glad you enjoyed it whathehell Feb 2020 #57

Maybe then police wouldn't have conducted stop and frisk which led to people rotting in jail. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #14

No. The crime bill that Bernie voted for led to people rotting in jail. Squinch Feb 2020 #19

Did Biden vote for that bill? I forget ... (nt) mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #26

He wrote it. Squinch Feb 2020 #28

OH YEAH, that's right. I knew there was SOMETHING ... thanks ;) (nt) mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #39

We should take this on the road. Squinch Feb 2020 #41

Not to take anything away from ya ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #51

I LOVE that song! I can live with Lebowski & Squinch but we'll have to talk about the split! Squinch Feb 2020 #52

Yes, and if I may say, while my taste in music is unquestionably impeccable ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #56

They were the background music to my early years working Squinch Feb 2020 #60

Oh Biden's Crime Bill? Bernie criticized the problem of jailing too many people at the time. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #29

Bernie criticized it and then signed it. Which led to lots and lots of unwarranted incarcerations. Squinch Feb 2020 #31

PS: The incarceration rate during Bloomberg's tenure actually dropped. A lot. Squinch Feb 2020 #38

Per that quote, he's not saying union members are extremist ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #20

I've heard the same kind of arguments from Sanders supporters MineralMan Feb 2020 #42

Holy fuck he hates the New York Civil Liberties Union and Teacher's Unions. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #10

OK, so more and more MB sounds like a republican AT HEART and we're supposed to believe he's uponit7771 Feb 2020 #11

I know. squirecam Feb 2020 #15

He's very pro-choice, very pro-environment, and very pro-reasonable-gun-control mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #22

He also has a history of being very racist against PoC, the kind of take your kids level of racist uponit7771 Feb 2020 #58

If this was 2008 and my other option was McCain? mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #59

These working out for you, hun? Amimnoch Feb 2020 #13

OMG - I was unaware! ... jmg257 Feb 2020 #17

Meanwhile, Bloomberg attacks nobody but Trump. MineralMan Feb 2020 #40

Huh? Bloomberg is attacking NYCLU and AFT. Those groups aren't Trump. DanTex Feb 2020 #43

Not really, he isn't. Read more closely. MineralMan Feb 2020 #44

Yes really, he is. Comparing them to the NRA isn't a compliment. DanTex Feb 2020 #45

Oh, bother. Nobody cares about your picky slams on Bloomberg. MineralMan Feb 2020 #47

I'm guessing a lot of Dems actually do care about unions and civil liberties. DanTex Feb 2020 #49

But we don't care about your talking points: MineralMan Feb 2020 #50

Guess it depends who you mean by "we". DanTex Feb 2020 #53
