    Pete sure does speak well. He doesn't really say much but he sure sounds good.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Mayonnaise sandwiches look quite pretty until actually consumed. Similar principle.

    He's nothing more than noise. He'll talk for minutes and say absolutely nothing in that time. The man is a manifestation of the idea that's it's not about what you say, it's about how you say it.

    Like I said; you're ignoring the facts to present a misleading framing of the issue.
    And this is exactly the problem. Instead of listening to women about their concerns they just get silenced and attacked. This is why women are leaving the Labour party in the UK. This is why if Democrats keep going the way they're going women will leave them too.

    Stop trying to silence women just because they have different opinions. It's just misogyny dressed up as progress.

    Once you find out his early career was with the spin-doctor consultancy firm McKinsey, it becomes really clear that this appealing content-free cotton candy speaking is a deliberate choice, too. He's choosing to not say anything, which should make you question what he's not talking about.

    Nobody attacked her for being a woman. They attacked her for being transphobic. She's the one who started attacking other groups, and that's why people decided they didn't want to work with her any more.

    Framing that as an attack on her because she's a woman, or because she's a lesbian, that's a lie. A flat, deliberate, intentional lie.

    I'm not derailing the thread any more with this, either. It's off-topic.

    Absolutely. Every time he starts talking I just sort of automatically tune out, after a couple of times I realized it was because there was nothing coming out of his mouth.

    "Mayor Bloomberg should you exist?" HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

    I loved how he said"i'm the only one up here who has started a business, right?" and there was crickets

    OMG finally Bloomberg goes after Bernie and communism

    Fuck off with a non constitutional 2 cent wealth tax, she's just as deluded as Sanders.

    That Bloomberg thought that comment was in his favor is just more proof he has no business being up there.

    Just furthering might point. You refuse to actually listen or consider her points, instead just resorting to insulting her. The same happens to other women every day in pretty much every western country.

    This will only lead to ruin for left wing politics in the west. UK Labour is bleeding because of it. Democrats will too if they don't stop.

    Left wing politics can not survive if it alienates women.

    I am so, so tired of hearing from the media about socialism and their fearmongering over it.

    Sanders describing America's status quo as "socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor" is a sound bite that's gonna reverberate, I think.

    In this day and age, "millionaire" basically boils down to "owns a home".

    They have to bring it up, because Trump is going to hammer it every time if it is between the 2. He has to be prepared for it

    Terf is a derogatory term that's used to silence women. Thanks for further proving the point that you guys do not care about women's voices.
