In short, Michael Bloomberg is a racist Republican masquerading as a Democrat, who is using his billions of dollars and media empire to convince the public that he is good. Particularly using corrupt Black leadership to hide his racist past. For all the reasons we reject Donald Trump, we should also reject Michael Bloomberg. If our choices are two Republicans in 2020, then we should take this opportunity to form a new party or to call for the end of our current two party system in favor of a modern democracy or a more direct democracy that promotes shared economic prosperity instead of the current system that favors the 1% above all.
- Michael Bloomberg oversaw one of the most racist policies of the 21st century. He claims that he inherited stop and frisk, yet it expanded 600% under his tenure, leading to the violation and harassment of over half a million Black and Brown people across the city and more across the nation as he helped it spread to other cities.
https://www.vox.com/first-person/2020/2/14/2113689... - Has long history of sexual harassment and discrimination. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/polit...
- Endorsed George Bush and the Iraq War
- Former Republican who continues to pump millions into the Republican party as recently as 2018.
- Said he wanted to fire 50% of all teachers in New York and double class sizes. https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/12/01/bloomberg-...
- Homeless families rose in NYC from 5,000 to 12,500 under his administration.
- Exploited workers, the environment, and his political power to become one of the wealthiest people on the planet.https://www.salon.com/2019/12/15/how-bloomberg-mad...
- Has used his billions not only to violate the previous term limits of the Mayoral seat, but is currently using it to buy out local politicians for their endorsements.

I will never support this man. Saddest part is, I believe the corporate owned, Democratic establishment would much rather lose with a Bloomberg instead of winning with Bernie.
Literally F*CK Mike Bloomberg
He stinks
In the past 30 years, wage stagnation, police militarization, profit prisons, systemic racism, healthcare costs, and education costs have all become worse problems.. or have shown no improvement. If Bloomberg buys his way into the white house, that will be a sign that America is completely and utterly lost to Oligarchy forever. He's far too powerful, and Trump has given him the blueprint of how much he can do, and what not to do. Bloomberg is a far richer, far smarter Trump, who will do horrible things, but do them with good optics and tactfully. Handing the presidency over to him is the very end, the culmination of Trump's descent. Bloomberg has hurt hundreds of thousands of Black and Brown people. Scarring them for life, some have committed suicide because of this. Innocent people. Bloomberg is more Trump and the end of the Democratic party.
For so many reasons the prospect of a Bloomberg candidacy for President, as the standard barer of our party is unacceptable. As a union organizer and activist, I have personally knocked on more than 20,000 doors and made over 100,000 phone calls over my 30 years of working for Democratic candidates, many of whom I was less than excited about - but I did it anyway because the danger represented by the Republican challenger was motivation enough. But for more than 25 years now, the leadership has been moving the party steadily rightward on economic issues, blurring the difference between the two parties. As a feminist and a working class Black voter, even as the party has consistently shown it’s preference to serve corporate profits over people, I’ve voted D to protect the gains of my community against racism and discrimination. However, I cannot in good faith ever vote for Mike Bloomberg to lead our party. Ever. He is a bridge too far! If he is the nominee, this will be the first election in 30 years that not only will I not turn out to volunteer, but I will not vote for the Democratic candidate. Please hear us when we say that we’d rather burn this party to the ground and start anew than be forced to support a racist, sexist, anti-union billionaire who’s trying to buy the Presidency in order to defeat the same!
Racist
Only people that still believe the people on TV would ever think that another billionaire is the answer to Trump.

Stop trying to shove GOP lite down our throats. It didn't work in 2016 and no "centrist" will win because he or she lacks policies that people actually want. They aren't credible. If you defy the popular will, there is no democracy. You will sign your own death warrant.
