I had the worst cold around christmas and it really does make me wonder.
Fever, body aches for a couple days. Felt like I was going to cough up a lung.
but no real sneezing or congestion.

You want poor people to die needlessly. That's what you advocate for, that's what you believe. If you don't like me saying it, too goddamn bad.
The constitution is a deeply flawed document that relies on the acceptance of norms and generally good actors. Absent that you end up with a wannabe dictator like Trump acting basically unchallenged.
> and they can even remove him from office with a Senate supermajority.
an act made much harder when the executive flouts subpoenas.
> Senate’s refusal to confirm Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court
Not a check so much as a complete refusal to perform constitutional duty. What McConnell did was subvert the process of checks and balances to remove the presidents ability to make appointments.
Arguably we still don't, given what the republicans have done to subvert democracy in Florida.
America is by far the oldest nation with a presidency, and it's finally starting to collapse.
It's flippant, but here's a simple test.
> has managed a large organization
If that's your justification for why you should be president, then you aren't actually qualified to be president. There is no business on earth that would adequately prepare someone to be president.
> Obama
Obama was a US senator for 4 years and a state senator 7 more.
> Trump
Is a disaster. Bloomberg would also be a disaster.
It's not really relevant to the argument. I have an issue with what Steyer was doing as well, but at least he followed the rules.
Bloomberg got the rules changed to suit him, by spending money with the DNC. He's been blanketing the airwaves and buying endorsements.
It's plutocracy.
There are only about 600 billionaires in the US. Trump is obscenely wealthy.
Almost certainly yes. These people have out of control egos and little relevant experience. Bloomberg would be no different than Trump.
Gates too.
The naive people are the ones who swallow the line from billionaires.
Bloomberg is buying off people and hasn't been forced to defend his atrocious record, at all.
and plenty of people support aggressively campaign financing reform and public funding of elections.
He's buying up media and politicians. People can't decide from themselves when he's spending a billion dollars to shape the narrative.
If Bloomberg gets elected the US is done. It's not longer anything resembling democracy and the only thing that will save us from the new order will be revolution.
That's ignoring Tesla's historical issues with fit and finish/quality control.
