Bloomberg, despite an overtly bigoted stop & frisk & surveillance record, has lined up dozens of the most prominent minority mayors, lawmakers & business leaders, while buying silence from civil rights orgs. If race alone guides politics, not power, how do you explain this?

Ofc identity pol partisans, rather than challenge this w/evidence, revert to racism, attacking my racial authenticity or calling me white. Ok but does that mean Bloomberg's endorsers like Juan Vargas, Greg Meeks, London Breed, Lucy McBath, Fiona Ma are all now white, too? Lol.

Identity pol partisans advance a racist trope that minorities vote or endorse based narrowly on issues like criminal justice. Those stereotypes don't fit the real world. People have agency & other political incentives despite attempts by establishment liberals to tokenize them.

Bloomberg is destroying any credibility the Democratic Party had left which wasn't much.

Don't worry; he's not going to buy the nomination and if he does, the Democratic Party is toast.

Bloomberg is MAGA of the left. Refined, educated & with sufficient pedigree & respectability. Racism & misogyny hosted in wine caves & on cruise junkets for thousands of years. Oswald Mosley energy.

Bloomberg is in no way on the left. Please don't include him with us in any way. He's center right on most issues.

Bloomberg gives many new levels of meaning to "owning the libs".

I stared mournfully into the middle distance for a full minute then shuddered violently after reading this.

Not sure it "disproves." A less needlessly antagonistic way of saying this might be: `Bloomberg shows how, even though appealing to a variety of intersectional identities is crucial to his campaign's marketing strategy, economic power is the primary force explaining his rise.'

you couldn’t design a more perfect villain for intersectional analysis, and he’s easily brushing off the charges of racism, with the help of black pmcs no less
