South Carolina looks to be the only state Biden will win - unless he under-performs and loses. Another state where Bloomberg is zero factor.
Latest poll in Calif poll shows Sanders with a 3 to 1 lead over Bloomberg's money:
CA (IGS); Sanders 34, Warren 17, Bloomberg 12, Buttigieg 11, Biden 8
This is going to be over in a hurry if it goes the way it is polling now.
Bernie is a socialist over a Democrat, his words. Our schools, media etc have taught socialism is morally superior to meritocracy, freedom and capitalism. Good for them, they won over let's say 35% of Democrats with that idea. Enough to put a socialist on the ballot with the rest of them all divided without leadership.
Socialism is communism. Let's not mince words. In modern word usage, socialism is the friendly kind of living in the commune, working what you feel like if at all and owning and sharing all the resources and rewards equally.
Communism is where you do all that by coercion.
But you can only do all that by coercion. There isn't a friendly, consensual way. You take away income, wealth and ownership with state coercion. Socialism, the nice kind, is fiction, as imaginary as the Land of Oz, Hogwarts, Star Wars and Back to the Future. They are talking about taking away everything from your right to hire a doctor to your right to take home a paycheck, heat your house, own your hoe, drive to work.
Bloomberg banning sodas is a practice run. I hate soda but taking away your right to make an "unhealthy" choice is now somebody else's decision in that jurisdiction. The penalty is whatever it takes to get compliance including taking away the business owners' right to have the restaurant doors and cash register open.
Bernie would ban Bloomberg. There is no right to be rich under Bernie, even though Bernie is now rich. That's different. Chavez, his friend and mentor was rich. Under coercion, you still never have equality because it is against the nature of things. The new rich are the people of power who prevent others getting rich by force. Give them the power, they become the rich.
Socialism equals communism. There is no daylight between them. Let's at least admit that before we vote on it.
