People will vote for who they want to, we have to stop thinking we can tell people how to vote, this "vote blue no matter who!" shit doesn't work. "Get out the vote!" campaigns become a joke when there's fine print that states, "...unless you vote against who we want, then it's all your fault they lost!"

Since 2015, Bernie has been written off as "unelectable" because he didn't have minority support yet they sure as hell don't say the same for Pete or Amy. They definitely mention their polling with minority support being low but it's not a "campaign-ending"/"unelectable" narrative that they've pushed on Sanders these last few years.

I feel like people are overestimating Bloomberg. https://www.newsweek.com/bloombergisracist-trends-second-resurfaced-clip-shows-dem-candidate-saying-we-disproportionately-1486722 "They just keep saying it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group. That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder," the wealthy businessman, with an estimated net worth of $60 billion, said in a 2013 interview with WOR. "In that case incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little." Bloomberg is enjoying a honeymoon period, he's going to crash & burn harder than Biden.

...but what is your point then? You're saying it's wrong to think that the military is some giant waste of money because people are employed & these are jobs at stake. You can make that argument for so many industries for the past...forever. I bet there's even a shit ton of military jobs that were destroyed because of automation/machines dating back the last 100 years & nobody ever gave a shit about those job losses.
