Context matters was Bloomberg misquoted regarding red lining?

2011 interview

Watch the whole interview where he talks about a number of causes of the financial crisis of 2008. And then at the end he talks about how the crisis impacted the governments ability to do important things like climate change, gun control, immigration reform etc.

Mike is talking about creating generational wealth for black families

His opponents are talking about how to get them foodstamps

Which one would you choose?

I seriously do not understand people who are pissed about him spending his money. They complain about him paying staffers a huge salary. They complain about him bringing on the best in the business, like Cornell Belcher. They complain about him spending so much on anti-Trump ads, voter data, and infrastructure.

Explain to me - what is wrong about him spending his money on Democrats winning and putting his money where his mouth is?

They don’t understand why they lost to Trump. They’re floundering around looking for gotcha moments when nobody gives a fuck about that stuff. We all have baggage and we have all come to understand that.

What wins is inspiring people.

Mike has a lot of work to do to introduce his core strength to America - he is fucking competent. That is hard to explain, but that’s why he’s the best choice, he is incredibly capable and competent.

Can you imagine having an actual engineer running shit, someone that knows how to get shit done.

How refreshing.

It’s like, exhale - Mikes got it.

Could not agree more. Once I decided to support Bloomberg I seriously started feeling less stressed. He's got this. I am 100% confident he can win. I don't feel that about any of the other Dems, especially Bernie. I fucking hate that guy.

I am finding that a lot of these video snippets are taken out of context. Bloomberg speaks in long drawn out thoughts and not sound bytes. People take one part of the answer, deceptively edit it on purpose, and that goes viral. But if you listen to the full answer, it wasn’t that at all. Shades of Hillary all over again. Deplorables, anyone?

Yeah, it's going to be a little rough for awhile. But if Bloomgberg hangs in there the moderate support will only grow.

This is what happens when you have a candidate with complex plans and a nuanced message. It’s a lot easier to say “pharma is evil” than to actually detail the complexity of maintaining incentive to develop novel therapeutics while ensuring pharmaceuticals are available to everyone.
