 So I'm not gonna lie. It's a little alarming to me that more people aren't concerned about the threat that Mike Bloomberg poses to democracy I mean People aren't really that outraged at the fact that we have a billionaire who is spending hundreds of millions of dollars more So than candidates who have been in the race for more than a year And he's trying to buy his way into the White House and he Bought his way up to third place like how are people not worried about this? Like do you understand the type of precedent that this sets like it's bad enough that Trump was able to buy his way into the White House At least halfway there, but I mean if Bloomberg is able to pull this off like what do we get in 2024? Jeff Bezos presidency and then we get one of the Waltons running in 2028 like People need to understand that democracy is a very fragile thing and I know that in America We've had a quote-unquote democracy now for hundreds of years even though I would argue you're not democracy Unless you have universal suffrage, but I digress like democracy is fragile So just because we all grew up with it and we all know it doesn't mean it's going to be here forever You have to fight to defend it and consolidate it and expand it But with Mike Bloomberg here before our very eyes He's posing a threat and a really strong one of that Where we are going to devolve into a full-blown oligarchy if you can even argue that that hasn't happened if you want to argue That you know that hasn't happened yet Because they're already buying politicians they influence policy outcomes and now they're cutting out the middlemen and they're just running themselves So more people should be outraged and thankfully one Patriot showed up to a Mike Bloomberg rally to warn people there This is dangerous But they didn't take kindly to her warning and they proceeded to boo her take a look I am that excitedocracy So in case you couldn't hear she said Bloomberg is trying to buy this election That is not democracy that is plutocracy and then it looks like they cut her mic and then everyone in that crowd proceeded to boo her very Loudly and let me just say this to every single person in that crowd Shame on you you goddamn mindless fucking sheep shame on you You are showing up to cheer for a fucking Billionaire who has no policy ideas the only policies he's implemented have been absolutely disastrous Just two days ago We'll all listen to a tape where he admitted that he is basically openly racist Because we should be over-policing black neighborhoods because that's where all the crime is forget social economic factors Forget poverty forget all of these other causal mechanisms. I think that black people commit more crime. So let's over-police them That's the way it should be that's what he said on tape. I'm paraphrasing of course But I put a video up on that so go check it out if you want to know exactly what he says This is an individual who has billions upon billions of dollars But he doesn't even support a minimum wage increase don't take my word for it take his Did I for example am not in favor of never been in favor of raising the minimum wage? He's never supported a minimum wage increase. So what back in the 90s when it was like what three dollars? You didn't support an increase then and you wouldn't support it now if it were still at three dollars and He's serious because he vetoed a minimum wage increase when he was the mayor of New York City So I mean this guy is a ghoul He's a former Republican turned independent turned Democrat. So he's all over the map, but ideologically. He's mostly conservative He's openly transphobic He's racist and He's trying to buy our democracy and that person on that stage tried to warn you dipshits and you booed her like this Is why democracies died? This is why? Fascism is able to turn democracy into authoritarian regimes now I see why because people are so fucking stupid that they had so far up their asses that they don't even see a threat in front of them Like Jesus Christ I don't know how these people managed to tie their own shoes in the morning Like if you can't see why what that lady was saying was real Then you're just too fucking stupid like I I don't know what to say at this point like these are the types of things that Make it evident why democracies don't last forever why they are in fact fragile because people can easily be manipulated Propaganda works and overall people they want to vote in their own self-interest But they just don't do that they can easily be duped to voting Against their own best interest and that's just a really sad fact and even when people try to warn and educate them They just yell at them and look as much as I can't stand Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg At least they're not buying their way to the nomination now You know to a lesser extent Pete Buttigieg is the errand boy of billionaires. He loves billionaires They're trying to help him get to the White House by bankrolling him So that is still evil albeit to a lesser extent at least he's trying to do it not by self-financing his campaign and you know Regardless of all of these things the conservatism the transphobia the racism Democrats are choosing to embrace him not just you know the Democratic Party establishment But the mainstream media is too. I mean think about this the DNC They literally put surrogates on the rules committee for Mike Bloomberg and then they altered the rules after he donated Hundreds of thousands of dollars to him so he can participate in debates And if you ask Nancy Pelosi, she thinks that his participation is great Why are the Republicans so afraid of stopping foreign interference in our elections? Why are the Republicans so afraid of protecting the integrity of our elections and protecting as the We did get money over four hundred million dollars in the It's not an omnibus the minibus or whatever that we passed at the end of last year over his objections because he is Standing in the way of the election integrity that we need as far as Michael Bloomberg is concerned I think that his his Involvement in this campaign Will be a positive now the reason why I wanted to play for you what she said before she got to the Bloomberg answer Because somebody asked this question obviously was because she goes on this little mini rant About democracy how great it is, but then she goes on to say this about someone who's trying to buy the election I think that his involvement in this campaign will be a positive one This is why Things are the way that they are Ladies and gentlemen, that's our opposition leader Nancy Pelosi Because the Democratic Party's tent is now so big that it is wide enough to include literal racist Transphobic Republicans, but yet Donald Trump is bad because he's the racist Republican But let's welcome them in our tent as well At what point does the Democratic Party's tent become so big that it even includes Donald Trump? Is he welcome is Mike Pence welcome? We already know that Amy Klobuchar Recently stated that maybe the Democratic Party's tent is big enough to include anti-abortion Democrats as well So at what point do you just not become a party and you just merge with Republicans and you just become one unitary party? That's where we're headed. That is where we're headed. And let me just say this Donate to Shahid but are because Nancy Pelosi absolutely deserves to lose her seat And I hope that she's defeated by the widest margin imaginable. I hope she's humiliated because this person is Just a terrible human being and centrists love her they yasqueen her because she tore up fucking Donald Trump's notes. Oh God How can you watch this and not just be utterly repulsed? By what's happening democracy is very fragile. That's that's the takeaway and You know when democracy collapses It'll probably be because Americans cheered it on because we're seeing that now I mean you had someone try to warn them. This is not democracy. This is plutocracy plutocracy He's trying to buy the election and they booed her All right, well boo her at your own peril because she's trying to warn you So when you have even less of a say in Politics if you want to even argue that you have a say to begin with now blame yourself
