Can I vent about Mike Bloomberg being a Republican?

Asked by JLeslie (65446) February 17th, 2020 from iPhone

This is total bullshit that the media, even the left leaning media, is picking up on this idea that Bloomberg isn’t really a Democrat and he was a Republican not long ago.

He became a Republican, because when he decided to run for Mayor, New Yorkers knew he was liberal on many things, it was just a political move. He did not lie, his fiscal policies are fairly conservative. He leans conservative on K-12 education, which he had to adjust his initial ideas once in office, he has been a Democrat his entire adulthood except about 6 years? I’d have to check the exact amount of years.

Bloomberg, like many New Yorkers, and many people for that matter, was socially liberal and fiscally conservative. Just like Bill Clinton! Plenty of Democrats are like this.

That MSNBC carries this narrative forward, which I believe is either planted by the Republicans, a foreign country, or Bernie supporters (I’m NOT accusing Bernie personally) is so frustrating.

Anyone who is thinking the media is in cahoots with candidates like Hillary think again, because they are readily trying to bring down Bloomberg from what I can tell. WTH?!

I am not pushing Bloomberg for president, I’m just annoyed at the one-sided information put out there by people who call themselves journalists.

Please discuss.
