Bad news guys did some digging on Steyer's fund, Farallon Capital and much of his fortune was built on coal and private prisons

it is unethical to be a billionaire, but at least he's also worked to damage the private prison industry, if way more incompletely than he claimed on stage

he strikes me as the guy who grimaces where he looks at where his money comes from but definitely still pockets the money

I have to say if a billionaire wants into anything bigger than city dog catcher he's probably looking for a grift of some sort whether its for him or his bros, because if he wants to affect real change he has the ability to do it without having some sort of public office. So regardless of how not lovely Tom Steyer may appear to be, he's an rear end in a top hat for doing that. It's confusing as to why nobody's asked him if he cared so much about america that he would invest in a presidential run, why not give St. Jude an entire operating budget for FY2020, or fund the Warchests of various politicians who are trying to do good, or really any number of things that will do immediate and useful good instead of possibly reaching the presidency and getting hamstrung by a red senate?

This is why I think he's doing this to gather delegates to give to Bernie, or whoever he most agrees with. Maybe it's a long game ploy to pull voters away from Biden. That would play more into the psycho billionaire angle, and satiate his culy of personality needs.

Like I said, pissing in the wind, debating on cleaning the piss off his shoes with that tie.

Definitely on this same wavelength myself. If these assholes want to accomplish something besides an ego stroking vanity run, become the evil boogeyman our right wing death cult paints Soros as and just fund the ever loving gently caress out of every single last candidate across the nation that's looking to fix poo poo. Everywhere. Dog catcher on up. Then, keep doing it. Build an election infrastructure that doesn't get junked and then has to be rebuilt every four years, and keep it going for every race it's helpful in.

Nope he's literally spouting the same crap my father does, and he literally believes if Bern man wins there will be Gulags and he'll be first in line to get shot, so he's pondering on moving to Uruguay of all places in case he wins as if the US has ever cared about sovereignty of South America. I'm getting the feeling that socialist getting elected is gonna break the brains of the set raised during the McCarthy era about as badly as Obama being elected triggered the poo poo out of racists.

I’m not the biggest Bernie fanboy, but honestly he’s the only one that could debate Trump without getting flustered. Hilary did a good job during the debates because she’s incredibly intelligent and shrewd, but she is also an idiot in so many other ways that cost her the election. Biden, Warren, and Pete would all fail if backed into a corner. Klobachar might be ok too, but she’s such a crappy candidate that it doesn’t matter.

I feel like whoever the Dem candidate is, the best debate strategy (if Trump even shows up, I doubt he will) is to just let him dig his own grave and ignore him.

Sanders could do that, I think Warren if she fell back onto the strategy she used against Scott Brown might be able to pull it off. IDK about Klobacher. lol @ Pete being able to do a good job.


Biden wouldn't so much as fluster as just argue with Trump for an hour and a half.

I feel like a good way of dealing with Trump on a debate stage is just ignore him. Talk about his points as if he weren't in the room, if he asks a direct question treat him as if he's a child trying to butt in on the adults conversation, if asked about what he just said say something to the tune of "Oh I just thought it was obvious to yall why that's dumb" until he goes apoplectic and actually says some of the quiet parts out loud. Trying to corner someone in a debate who doesn't care about "truth" is a fools game.

We're going to have to accept the reality that the orange fecal smear could get on stage, piss himself live on national television, have a stroke then drop unconscious and a third of the country would cheer him on for "owning the libtard". The media will then both-sides horse race narrative that poo poo to death. The base will not ever, ever say that he lost, and there's enough propaganda out there that it will become the default story for them. Everyone else will have already decided they hate him first, or just not care because it looks two sides screaming at each other since they can't be bothered to find out how one side is fact and the other is propaganda so gently caress it, a pox on both your houses.

Don't forget his other greatest hits after the incel murder sprees such as (paraphrasing) "women bring sexual harassment on themselves by wearing make up" and "there should be forced monogamy". He might have been saying any sexual harassment and by extension violence against women is their own fault before the incel murders, though

He ditched both Canadian and American hospitals to go to loving Russia.

Yeah none of it makes sense at all. He went doctor shopping so hard he ended up in Russia? Whatever the real story is, it's apparently even more incriminating than what they've said, which is "he got addicted to benzos because he accidentally had applesauce once"
