volts5000 posted:I live in NC. Purple state. Significant number of EVs. I've been "voting blue, no matter who" for a while and I'm pretty used to it. I mean look at all the Republican chucklefucks representing my state right now. Bloomberg is the only candidate to give me pause. If he made it to the general, it'd be a choice of Trump or "personification of how Trump got into office". That would be a hard ballot to mark. Also in NC - I'd vote for Bloomberg because I will never, ever hate a man as much as I hate Trump, but I don't think I could encourage anyone else to do so.

Truth is, even bloomberg or biden would be better than 4 years of trump, if only for the chance to pick an adequate replacement for RBG. But good luck running a campaign on that message.

I'm not going to attempt to speculative weigh the entirety of a Bloomberg presidency against Trump's, but I could easily see him appointing Republican judges. 100% he would appoint people far worse than the current crop of liberals.

Brony Car posted:I thought the premiums were paid by having $9800 (either deducted from wages or maybe paid by the employer in lieu of wages?) with the maximum the member has to pay for (like deductibles and any co-pay obligations) capped at $12,000 for in-network care. No I misread the tweet and you are correct. Not as bad as I thought, but a $12,000 OOP max is pretty much insurance you can't afford to use if you get really sick. https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2020/02/13/the-culinary-health-insurance-is-not-that-great/ also quote:Workers covered by the health plan also face a gauntlet of out-of-pocket expenses in the form of copays and coinsurance. They pay $320 for giving birth, $540 for breaking a bone, and $350 to go to the emergency room — just to count a few in-network cost-sharing amounts. and they have to pay $4.74/hr to remain insured for every hour they drop below full-time. But I guess it's hard to say how many would opt for M4A over this. M4A is objectively better but most people aren't hitting the OOP max every year so I can certainly see some people will be motivated by loss aversion if they're not currently sick enough for the plan to gently caress them over.

Agreed with this -- he would obviously be much worse than every other dem. But it's also dangerous to underestimate just how disastrous 4 more years of trump would be

The only reason I would ever vote for Bloomberg is to give the Dems majority control of the Senate. But that reason will never come to pass because I can't trust him to not just switch parties.

Gyges posted:Neither one would even pick a Kagan, let alone an RBG. The dem establishment are shook enough that any theoretical scotus pick would be based on entrenching their own power and the power of the ruling class, so they would be moderate at best who would agree with Citizens United and be on board with gutting union and labor laws. Of course I say theoretical here because there is no way in hell the dems take back the senate with a non-Bernie candidate and McConnell would just  any feeble pick they put upHell to go one step further, I think no matter what if Bernie wins or loses that Medicare will be explicitly targeted for dismantling and sabotage by the dems in order to discredit the MfA movement and destroy that stepping stone to universal health care.

Can I get a link or breakdown on Buttigieg? All I know is he is gay, was a mayor, and a picture of a rainbow painted rock as part of hostile architecture against the homeless in his town summing him up, somehow. As well as his showing in Iowa might have been false and Bernie won hands down. Bloomberg and Steyer are billionaires who think they can buy the presidency. Warren has a bad habit of changing with the winds from what I have seen. Biden has bad racist melty brain. I know nothing about Klobichar, but I dont think she will matter soon.

Every GOP organization from federal to local is just ugly and rotten to the core and getting worse year after year.
