The democrats have never been "my party" ABF. They're not really your's either, but you havent' realized it yet. They're as intrenched and oligarcian as the Republicans, they just sell a different brand. That's why I want the whole party overhauled to better reflect what they claim to be. Bloomberg will turn the democrats into republicans, mark my words. He IS Trump, just smarter.
And what about his foreign policy is "absolutist"? He's pushing for real peace between Israel and Palastine, for example, rather than this ridiculous notion that we can't even acknowledge that Palastinians have a right to exist and shouldn't be genocided without being labelled antisemitic.
I can say this. I'll drag myself to the polls for Biden just to counter Trump. However, I could NEVER vote for Bloomberg. If the democrats nominate Bloomberg, they will suppress their base harder than they ever have before. It'll be a sweep for Trump, and even if it wasn't, I wouldn't feel like we "won" anything if Bloomberg won. He's potentially more dangerous than Trump is. He'd do all the same horrible things to minorities, he'd excise the progressive wing from the democrats, and well, there goes democracy.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
