    makes me wonder in a parallel world where this guy actually won the democratic primary in 2020 what would have happened

    Biden was such an unmitigated disaster, I wonder if people would feel the same way about a theoretical Bloomberg v Trump in 2024. The Dems really shit the bed with the whole Kamala switcharoo

      He’s even more of a Republican than Biden and Harris.

      I’d rather see billionaires taxed into non-billionairehood than nominated for anything.

        he wouldn’t be my first choice, or even my 2nd, 3rd, etc. but apparently the American voters appreciate billionaires

        A candidate who’s not a billionaire is forced to sell their ass to billionaire donors, in order to finance their campaign.
