Not to be a ■■■■, but how can you still believe this? I mean I’m sympathetic because I used to believe in the same nonsense, but the GOP is on the regular have to make excuses for actual NAZIs running in their primaries. Come on.
I’d respond but I can’t decipher your post.

It is widely accepted that Cuomo ■■■■■■ up pretty royally with this statement.
I will though watch this thread and enjoy the hyperbole, especially from those who tend to support keeping around heroic statues of and flying the flag of traitors.
I don’t think he did. I agree with him.

The last time I heard him speak was the morning after Trump was elected when he made a video of him learning the great news.
So he survived 8 years of Obama and never ended up in jail… That’s good, we all need a joke every now and then…

My point is that an attack on the Dems from the left is much more in my favor than an attack from the right.
Nixon however has gone after the film tax incentives… something that has kept myself and my Union brothers and sisters at over full employment ( there just are not enough skilled laborers to fill the the amount of work happening) for about ten years now in order to woo the support of Upstate and Western NY.
It really doesn’t make sense since the jobs that are supported by this incentive are easily thousands of middle class blue collar labor union jobs that would easily be part of her base.
Heck… hundreds of us have even worked with her.

Socialists get a lot of ■■■■ for the excessive bureaucracy of the Soviet Union, but it is kind of funny to watch people defend the Democrats based on the idea that bureaucracy is hard and needs a steady hand for it to work.
You can’t bureaucracy nerd your way out of real problems.
That’s a really good post.
Totally taken out of context, just like the Rev. Wright sermon.
Oh and BTW, I’m a Dem and I love my country, but I hate this entire administration.

The point is just that obsessioning about bureaucratic competence is silly when your opponents don’t care about it and the voters don’t care either.
As a New Yorker I care and it’s the reason I won’t vote for Nixon. Just because others might not care about it is not a reason why I shouldn’t bring it up.

Buddy, you know better than me about that.
I’m against the centrist democratic narrative. My politics don’t revolve around Cynthia Nixon being good. That would be rather pathetic.
What a merry band of lunacy.

As a non-New Yorker, although my father is one, I think that focusing on “competence” is silly. Cuomo is your typical Democatic dweeb. I’m not telling anyone how to vote, I’m just making a case that the focus on Nixon’s credentials is inane.

I am planning to vote for a centrist Democrat for Senator this November.

I’m sure anyone who voted for Trump thinks voting for someone based on competency is inane.

The Dems are fundamentally delusional. They care too much about being smartest person in the room. The problem is the democrats have no ability for self-reflection.
Democrats and competency Thats yuge
