I see what you did there.
2020 US Election (Part One)

She was trying to hold out for the California primary, but at this point she is concerned with poor showing/polling damaging her brand for her Senate race and losing her seat as a result. Plus a former staffer just jumped ship and is spilling all the beans about all the problems with her campaign.
I think she/they realized that whatever glimmer of hope the campaign had was basically sunk by how bad that looked. I mean if a staffer is leaving you for the Bloomberg campaign, that makes your campaign look pretty hopeless.

Wait, that staffer is going to the Bloomberg campaign? And she expects to be treated better there? Does she, like, not know who Michael Bloomberg is?

What about the Marshall Plan then?

What business is it of yours?
I don't know if Mr. Marshall was a billionaire but if he was, he wasn't using his money.
But the US did get richer. Admittedly, making everybody its debtors, taking all the best minds in the world, and not having to reconstruct because it was the only major power whose own mainland hadn't been occupied, bombed, and/or pillaged helped a part, but still.

So only helping out when you stand to profit. Yes that does seem very American.
"Problems with her campaign" includes how she treated her staff like garbage. Which I find funny because she isn't the only Democrat candidate to have staffers complain about their working conditions or pay. The irony of candidates that claim to be "for the workers" treating their own workers poorly isn't lost on me.

I certainly hope you don't miss the irony of Trump trying to appeal to working class voters and succeeding when irl he spent his whole life fudging them.
What the hell is he saying...
Time to just leave - he should rather seek treatment for his dementia, not run for potus...

There was also this, with which he closed his 10 minute speech (gee, I wonder why he didn't go on) :
Biden said:
That part was just Biden trying to say that in the old days he just knew them as guys (I suppose "friends"?) and now (how time flies etc) they are all men. But yeah, that he couldn't even present that simple thought in a decent way is another (of the many) signals that he has mental problems.
He should just abandon this race. Even if he would win, he still would lose (and more importantly, the US also would lose). I hope Bernie can be elected this time...

it would be so funny watching a Trump v Biden debate where they're allowed to ramble without any moderators butting in
Trump is even worse though; he just has stabilized in his own type of dementia. I mean this crap is an official commercial for "Trumpy bear"...
Biden is suffering from mental illness, but Trump is your president and is a dangerous cretin who doesn't give af about not knowing anything.

Of course. It does baffle me how working class people across the political spectrum keep believing these politicians that come from the wealthy elite actually care about them.

Yeah our PM used to work in a fish and chip shop. The opposition tried to use it as a smear but a lot of voters have had kids work in takeaways.
Buttigieg is one of the few who isn't a political insider and/or rich.
Buttigeg has lived his entire life putting together a resume for president, he is power hungry af running as soon as legally possible and with the flimsiest experience, mayor of 100k pfft. Also the
least trustworthy besides Biden - he was at a freaking black site in the military. If he wasn't gay he'd be running as a Republican.

He's going about it wrong then lol. He's not a Washington insider, probably isn't that much more ambitious than any of the rest.

Bootyjudge is literally an empty suit who will only prolong the status quo, an absolute joke of a human being, especially when it comes to race.

And if he gets nominated vs Trump?
I don't think he'll get the nod and his numbers were the weakest vs Trump in mid west.

We don't need another useless, for-nothing centrist neo-liberal, nor will America or Americans survive more of the same/status quo.

Bottoms up!
Problem is theres not much difference between him and the insiders. The guys taken more money from private insurance companies than anyone else in the race. Hes smart enough to know playing the outsider is a good strategy so hes using it in his ads but theres nothing he'd like more than rolling around in the swamp with the other shills in DC.
