Money well spent
Remember when he was supposed to keep this massive operation going until November for the sole purpose of beating Trump?
I know it's petty, but i'm so happy he spent all that money for nothing even if it's not much for him.
Lol with this much money he could have bought every down ballot race in the country.
But no please, tell me again how this system is effective and works.

I'm actually kind of happy he spent it. It paid a lot of salaries and was a better use of $900 million than sitting in some hedge fund ready to lose 20-30% this month. Since getting billionaires to give up their dragon hoard is like pulling teeth, its certainly a better scheme than more yachts!
It's true that he really only ran to stop Bernie, but the reality is that the Democratic establishment mobilizing behind Biden was bound to happen anyway. Bloomberg did not play any real role in advancing his own agenda and wasted nearly a billion dollars getting everyone in America to fucking hate him. I celebrate this.
What a fucking loser.
He got to throw pot shots Bernie and fear-monger about socialism on every computer, TV, and radio in the nation. Maybe it did make a difference maybe it didn't, but in the end of the day Warren is out, Bernie is out, and Biden is in. Money WELL spent; it will earn back that $900m investment real quick.
Yeah, my first thought was "that's basically a stimulus bill" lmao
It's a reference to a prior news story.
MSNBC agrees with math-challenged tweet claiming Bloomberg could have given every American $1m instead of spending $500m on campaign
I saw everyone dunking on this tweet the other day... The original tweet author has since locked her Twitter profile and the first line in her bio is now 'I know, I’m bad at math.' A somewhat humorous mistake that the internet would have mostly forgotten about by next week... except here...

A lot of mockery for 'wasting' money but I'm pretty sure a comparison between the Biden vs Sanders tax plan showed he'll save several billion under a Biden administration.
I'm pretty sure his own tax plan was going to cost him more than a Biden administration.
900m well spent.

Not really considering Bernies plans would never have gotten through Congress
Yep. $900M to get your balls kicked in on stage by Sen. Warren
He could have stayed out of the race entirely and Biden still would have won. His presence only served to split the moderate vote even further. He basically spent a billion dollars to get humiliated in front of 30 million people on the debate stage.
He spent $900M to save himself the $3B he would be taxed under Bernie's tax plan. Even when Bloomberg loses he wins, he's that rich.
Just wanted you to know that at least one person appreciates this pun.
Imagine how much positivity that money could have influenced if he used it on something actually beneficial to society.
The political system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. It's absurd a candidate can just piss away this much money on pure propaganda.
Poster is joking about a real version of that math that was reported on TV by actual journalists.
When you consider his sole purpose was stopping Bernie and Warren from getting the nomination, it was money well spent. Without their wealth tax, he saves five to ten times that amount and under Biden, the same vulture capitalist system will be allowed to continue unfettered.
