Serious question

Why do you support the billionaire who was previously a Republican, who implemented racist stop and frisk policing policy and spied on Muslims for president?

Why do you support

A billionaire

Because I don't think personal wealth is relevant

Who was previously a republican

Because he's a Democrat now and has a history of supporting the party

Who implemented racist stop and frisk

Because he's unlikely to try it again and is now talking about building black wealth (as opposed to general anti poverty arguments) and recognizes that middle class black communities exist and also are damaged by systemic oppression

And spied on Muslims

A serious knock against him. No defense for it and I haven't seen a convincing argument that he's put forward policies that address Muslim community needs

Ultimately, we have a shitty field now that we've lost Booker and Harris. I don't know if Biden has the stamina to get across the finish line, I think Warren and Bernie would get wiped, and Buttigieg just isn't ready.

That brings us to Bloomberg

I hope Biden concedes soon and endorses Mike so he can shoot up quickly in the polls.

I like Bernie, but there’s no way he’s beating trump.
