People are upset with Michael Bloomberg for entering the presidential race, but no one is praising the diversity he brings to the national conversation as a moderate white male billionaire from New York City.

Saw Bloomberg's add this morning during local Detroit news. I'm curious where others have seen it. It makes sense he would focus on purple states that went for Trump in 2016 (not 2020).

I've seen it in Michigan as well (Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area).

Saw it on the gym yesterday in Fargo, ND, specifically on the CBS channel.
Apologize as I’m not certain how much Buttigieg’s comment (from yrs ago) re: black children’s lack of success in school resulting from lack of personal role models was discussed. (😠) This article addresses it perfectly, & I’m definitely sharing to social media! Pete Buttigieg Is a Lying MF www.theroot.com/pete-buttigieg-is-a-lying-mf-1840038708 Get-along moderates would rather make shit up out of whole cloth than wade into the waters of reality. Pete Buttigieg doesn’t want to change anything. He just wants to be something.
Fred Armisen as Bloomberg crashing the debate while drinking a large soda on SNL made my whole weekend.
THat whole skit was perfection. Woody Harris as Joe Biden gave me life. I was in awe how each person was captured in such a clever way.
I love the Elizabeth line “I know I have mom hosting Thanksgiving energy.” Lolololololol
Okay, hear me out but i hated that sketch and felt like it was incredibly mean spirited to Harris and way too nice to Bernie. I am also really sick of Baldwin's Trump. It was only marginally funny when he first started doing it and now its jumped the shark. They really need to go in another direction

I shared this on social and I have someone arguing with me that it's just one person's uninformed opinion and we're being "too mean" to the candidates. (She's gone through a cycle where she loved Mayor Pete, then she loved someone else, and now I think she's at Warren?) Anyway, I'm stepping back and don't want to engage her privileged white bullshit.

msmerymac I know; I’ve already received some (3) of the ‘we shouldn’t attack our own candidates’ BS. I’m waiting until the end of the day (or at least the afternoon) before contending with the logic that primary season is FOR vetting/ ‘attacking’ (🙄) our candidates! This is the season for voters to figure out who we want to get behind, & if that means airing some dirty laundry from 8 years ago (an opinion Buttigieg still hasn’t contested!) to figure out why black voters have very low approval rating of him, so be it. His South Bend mayoral run certainly didn’t prove he’s overcome lack of understanding*, which is his entire problem with race relations! *It sadly took women on here banging it through our heads for me to get this point of view. I’m afraid Pete is so competent & proficiently successful in other areas of his life, that he’s never been able to fall to his knees & learn/ accept just how ignorant he is from a POC. He knows HE’s not racist, sooo what’s the issue?!?🤦🏻♀️
Just saw a Bloomberg ad here and my cat was sitting on the dresser with the TV and she started hitting the TV when his face came on. I knew she is a smart cat but didn't realize that she's also politically astute.
From interviews I've seen, Baldwin is also over Baldwin's Trump. I guess Lorne Michaels convinced him to come back just a few times this season and then he can be done.
Hiding because it’s a tweet, but sharing because it’s pretty flipping humorous, but also pretty flipping scary that this man thinks he’s best to run our country (Biden/ age):
