What the actual hell is with this Bloomberg love?

The guy has a closet full of baggage including supporting countless Republicans, not least George W fucking Bush. Remember the shit people gave Joe Biden over his vote for the Iraq war? Yet apparently a guy who endorsed Bush in 2004 is now a liberal hero who we should send to the White House?!

More than any of this however, this is a guy who jumped in the race at the last possible second to splurge insane amounts of cash to try and buy an election. How many people were shouting for Bloomberg to enter the race before he spent $200m filling the airwaves with shiny TV adverts? How about fucking no-one outside the beltway?

People need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop this now. I'm a Bernie supporter, but you know what, if you support Biden then fair enough. If you support Warren or Yang or Buttigieg or Klobachar, then fair enough. But Mike Bloomberg? Are you fucking kidding me?

Seriously? Praising Peter fucking King? I think I was just sick in my own mouth a little.

How would you like the next year to go?

In the face of all these Bernie hate posts, I think it’s fair to ask DUers what exactly they’d like the next year and more to look like? Did people here have so much fun in 2015/16 that they just can’t wait for round two?

Ok so some of you really don’t like Bernie Sanders. So what? Lots of people here do. Is it absolutely essential that you share your dislike in 20 posts a day for the next year, ensuring that DU once again breaks up into buttery opposed factions, doing the GOP’s job for them?

Bernie might not be your cup of tea, but he’s a progressive and a billion times better than the racist asshat in the White House. So how about this time around we focus on the enemy and stop with the circular firing squad?

Wow, looks like they just caught the Original Night Stalker/East Bay Rapist/Golden State Killer.

They apparently have a 100% DNA match. Alleged to be a former cop called Joseph James DeAngelo who has been arrested and booked in Sacremento County Jail.

It's not the story, but the video that plays at the link which is a voicemail left by a Trump supporter to Art of the Deal writer Tony Schwartz. Be warned, its like diving into the mind of an insane person..

Proctor & Gamble anti-racism ad: The Talk

Apologies if this has already been posted, I couldn't find a thread. Absolutely beautifully made, and it had me on the brink of tears.

Inevitably its stirred up the racist right, who can't stand the thought of people actually speaking the truth.
