***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[RustyShackleford]

$100m for ads is insane and I get why people would be outraged when there's so many people struggling due to the pandemic, but to play devils advocate, Bloomberg donates a lot to charities and even pledged to donate as much of his money as possible before he dies. So at least he's not a dude who's pumping money into politics and ignoring the issues humanity is facing.

Again no one is really attacking Bloomberg. People are criticizing the economic and political systems that allow people like Bloomberg to do this kind of stuff.

Also, for every Bloomberg, there are other billionaires pumping even more money into the conservative side like the Koch and Mercer families

Mike Bloomberg donating to good causes doesn't make the systems people have to live under any less obscene

We need campaign finance reform badly as well. Ridiculous amounts of money being spent in the election by both parties.

Also, **** Mike Bloomberg for life.

Guys, guys, guys... Guys! Where is Bill Barr? Has anybody heard from him in the past month?

edit: apparently he was in Memphis today.

I don't donate any of my billions to politics so I can't relate.

NY Politics follow the N.Y. Knicks approach of decision making. Deblasio, trash. Bloomberg, trash. Ghoulani , trash. Ed Kocks, trash.

Besides campaign finance reform, America should have publicly funded elections.

That was Yang's best proposal.

Give every voter $100 to donate to candidates of their choosing.

I’ve legitimately never seen a campaign so focused on someone’s kid. This is absolutely a pathetic new low for republicans

I'm not very hopeful about whoever our next mayor is. The clown show that was the last election wasn't too inspiring.

Does this look like an appropriate father/daughter interaction to you?

A whole *** sellout

I’m sure a Black man from the south would agree with this take

normal father/daughter stuff

To be fair, A lot of Trump's support comes from the areas of America where smashing your sister is totally acceptable.

Sometimes I can't tell the difference between friendly or familial love and real love. I mean I've seen male and female pics where they hold or hug another and the caption says something like "my BFF", "I love you", "I miss you insert <name>".

Then there's other times where they hug and hold one another, and if they kiss it looks obvious they're a couple, especially when they say something like "I love you forever", "you're only mine". If they don't, people speculate. .

So I can't tell what kind of hybrid relationship Trump has with Ivanka. .
