It's truly inspiring how Hillary Clinton taking corporate money and never talking directly to people opened the door for candidates to not take corporate donations and actually address issues that are important to voters.

Hillary took all the corporate money so that there was none left for anyone else, forcing the other candidates to have to talk to actual voters if they wanted to raise money to run

goddamn I don’t wanna snark so all I can say is loving holy hell the AOC victory fills me full of life and motivation

ocasio's victory is just one small step. even if kerri wins that's nothing in the scheme of things. we need a house and senate full of people like that, but hopefully they inspire others.

Which reminds me, if Jeff Bezos really wants to live the Bloomberg life, he'll have to run for mayor of Seattle.

Why would he?

Bloomberg is 1/20ths as powerful as Bezos, 1/50ths as influential

You barely grasp Bezos's true leverage

Sounds like Bloomberg is, ironically, basically the poor man's Trump on a political scale

Like, I'm p sure 90% of the people who'd protest vote (lol) Bloomberg would always vote Trump instead given the option

If Bloomberg ran, he might basically fill Perot's role from 92, splitting the conservative vote and giving the Dems an easy plurality win.

Perot was the only protectionist in 92 and had a loud voice and clear message. Bloomberg would have to be a free trade candidate explaining his platform to a pretty hostile electorate.

Well, that's why I said "might" :v:

Yea, you're not wrong, and also there'd be a non-zero number of PUMA/H8% types that would vote for him too
