    Since it was so important that farmers only make up only 1% of the workforce, I wonder what percentage Black and Latinos account for in the Population AND the Democrat Electorate?🤔


    Bloomberg says many 'black and Latino males' don't 'know how to behave in the workplace,' in newly uncovered 2011 video

    Actually: Agriculture and its related industries provide 11 percent of U.S. employment. In 2017, 21.6 million full- and part-time jobs were related to the agricultural and food sectors—11.0 percent of total U.S. employment.

    I’m sure the percentage is much higher in some of the Midwest swing states.

    But of course this would only matter in a close election.

    You’re missing the poont.

    This is like thing number 459 for why Bloomberg won’t win. I don’t disagree with you, but he has bigger problems.
    You’re missing the point. This isn’t helping the Democrats or him. You are just the typical liberal that just doesn’t get why Trump won and the Democrats are losing the narrative.

    If you read Bloomberg’s put down it was not just farmers but also American’s that worked with their hands on machinery. Coupled witth the fact that many Dems want to eliminate Union healthcare programs the damage is much more severe than you admit to.

    The middle and working class have seen the arrogance and condescension of the Democrats. Most are fed up with their crap. Bloomberg just reinforced the things they have discovered.

    Short version: Dems say "pat pat - we know better" and think that wins hearts and minds.

    Fuck that you condescending pieces of dung. I like my Dems tuff and fighting for liberty and freedom. Not taking away my Big Gulps.

    You’re making my point for me. I don’t know why you’re getting so upset.

    I’m not upset. You are delusional if you think I’m making your point. Your point was idiotic. I’m not mad either. Being a former teacher ignorance like yours is what I fought against. Your posts are usually inane and superfluous. Tom you need to get a life and go somewhere where you can rid yourself of that loser bullshit lib narrative that you have to protect at all costs. None of these complete progressive morons is going to beat Trump. Bloomberg is a symptom of a hackneyed party that is past it’s pull date.

    Just a little off on that analysis panda. And I don’t think this thread is about comparisons. It is about Bloomberg. Unlike myself you haven’t shown any of Trump’s condescension. But then you would be obfuscating to change the subject to what you want to talk about.

    Paul Harvey:

    “And on the 8th day God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker!”. So, God made a farmer!
    God said I need somebody to get up before dawn and milk cows and work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board. So, God made a farmer!
    I need somebody with strong arms. Strong enough to rustle a calf, yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry and have to wait for lunch until his wife is done feeding and visiting with the ladies and telling them to be sure to come back real soon…and mean it. So, God made a farmer!
    God said “I need somebody that can shape an ax handle, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire make a harness out of hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And…who, at planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty hour week by Tuesday noon. Then, pain’n from “tractor back”, put in another seventy two hours. So, God made a farmer!
    God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop on mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor’s place. So, God made a farmer!
    God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees, heave bails and yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink combed pullets…and who will stop his mower for an hour to mend the broken leg of a meadow lark. So, God made a farmer!
    It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight…and not cut corners. Somebody to seed and weed, feed and breed…and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody to replenish the self feeder and then finish a hard days work with a five mile drive to church. Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who’d laugh and then sigh…and then respond with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life “doing what dad does”. So, God made a farmer!”

    Lib narrative? Ignorance?

    I said Bloomberg has bigger problems. None of which has anything to do with beating Trump (he won’t) or the state of the Democratic Party (which sucks).

    Stop getting so upset and actually read what I said. I’m agreeing with you. But you’re too tilted to notice.

    You are projecting.

    You are angry. I’m still not sure why.

    I really dislike Bloomberg, more than Sanders in a strange way.
    Bernie's ideas are dumb but he's a somewhat lovable dumbass. He's brutally honest and open about what he truly wants to do unlike most on the left. I have a certain amount of respect for Bernie. It doesn't hurt that he's gotten fucked over by his owen party at every turn. I'm a sucker for an underdog.

    Bloomberg OTOH is a statist who pretends to be a centrist. He'd consider Hillary as a running mate. And he's got the DNC cheating for him.

    I thought it was hard to find a candidate I could hate more than Warren but Bloomberg is giving her a run for her wampum.

    Bloombergs biggest issue is his war on the Big Gulp. You think a bunch of construction workers in New Jeresy, California, or anywhere else are voting for a guy who hates Big Gulps? Have you ever seen a construction site and what passes for sustenance on one? Big Gulp, 7-11 burritos and beef jerky are currency on a work site.

    Bloomberg is a weasely little fuck who nobody likes. Big Gulp wins in the end. VICTORY!

    Big Gulp - pisses off working class/blue collar people

    Stop and Frisk - pisses off minorities

    The optics of “buying an election“ - pisses of progressives, probably others too.

    He is a whiny little cunt that nobody would like if he wasn’t paying them to stand there and smile. His supporters look like awkward teenagers being forced to go to church by their parents.

    A bunch of old Seattle Boomer libs told me he was the best hope to beat Trump. I laughed. Family dinner was TENSE.

    So he’s got that cohort (the people that will literally vote for anyone the Ds put up against Trump) convinced.
    Bloomberg plays zone in pickup ball.

    Christ, even Obama manned the fuck up, that cross-face shooting bricklaying motherfucker.

    Only in the under 12 league.

    Fuck you. Growing shit is more science than filling out IRA applications or whatever the fuck administrative shit you do. Control-Alt-Del>>Task Manager>>End program ain't that tough.

    Let alone the mechanical aptitude required to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars of machinery operating properly.

    Millions
