At this point, I think Bloomberg is probably the biggest threat to what little democracy exists in the US. He is probably the top source of income for most TV and radio stations and every liberal think tank or nonprofit.

Even if it's proven false, I'm going to assume she isn't even getting money from him and she is just one of the half-dozen-total voters his campaign actually appeals to.

oh she is definitely not getting paid, but assumes that if he wins she'll be rewarded or whatever

hes also the kind of republican she loves and wanted trump to be

why would they still be working for bloomberg if sanders is the nominee? only three states don't have sore loser laws, and the only one of significance is new york lol

Sore loser laws don't apply to presidential elections in most states.

Also it still cripples campaigns right now. Even if they can pick up those staffers later they're running from behind.

We should nuke the top of an active volcano so a massive eruption occurs and blots out the sun for a few months. We could start a new ice age and solve global warming decisively.

It's not a 'popular' opinion but in 50,000 years there would be another glacial period which would cause mass changes in biodiversity but if global warming really isn't stopped (it's just starting) we're going to extend this interglacial period forever thereby protecting the 'iconic' life on earth

like 50,000 years ago there were wooly mammoths and poo poo, western concept of nature as something to be 'preserved' is ludicrously wrong because nature is pure chaos, prairie becomes forest which burns to make pine and old growth which disappears suddenly, without human intervention, many such cases, humans have preserved cats and dogs and chickens as genetic time capsules til our species goes extinct

When white people first got to the St. Croix river in Minnesota they wrote poetry about the beautiful willows that lined the banks for hundreds of miles. When American settlers got there it was all maples, still is to this day thanks to ~Conservation~

unironically star trek despite its occasional failings is one of the few products of the culture industry that attempts to portray a future with a social and material order drastically different and better than our own. i'm disappointed that they have lost that vision and in the process any relevance beyond being a money making vehicle.
