      40% of the Democrats who endorsed thief and sexual predator Andrew Cuomo previously called for him to resign. The self-described party of women’s rights was more willing to support a serial sexual molester than a leftist candidate. They even defrosted sex pest and arch pervert Bill Clinton and wheeled him out to endorse her.

        “Some Dems endorsed his shitty opponent!” was not exactly what I was expecting for “The Dems are being way meaner to Mamdani than Trump!”

          Well, you have your own ineffable standard of evidence that no human being can live up to. That’s a character flaw of yours, and you’ll need to solve your own demons.

          For those with eyes that see and ears that hear, the actions of the dems in response to this race have been telling. Dems that have been silent and acquiescent to Trump have come out of the woodwork to not only endorse Cuomo, but to actively denounce Mamdani, their fellow Democrat. Many like Gillibrand have gone full Islamophobia in attacking Mamdani. The New York times made a big show of not endorsing candidate and then issuing a negative endorsement of Mamdani.

          I’m sure this is not going to be enough proof for you. Because you’re not arguing in good faith. You’re just going to keep demanding higher levels of proof and sources, all without offering any of your own. But again, that is a character flaw that you’re going to need to work with your therapist to resolve. I wish you luck on this. If you don’t have one, I suggest you find one that specializes in helping people who suffer from obsessive compulsive sea lioning.

        The only statement in this link about what the wider Dem establishment did is:

        Cuomo called on his extensive political network to supply an impressive list of endorsements, including from former president Bill Clinton, former mayor Michael Bloomberg, and South Carolina Representative Jim Clyburn (a famous kingmaker who was instrumental in Joe Biden’s securing the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination). Labor unions, which tend to want to play it safe by endorsing likely winners, rallied to Cuomo’s side, including two important unions that had once called on him to resign his governorship (Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union and the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council).

        “Mainstream Dems endorse a mainstream ghoul” isn’t really much of a surprise or an exceptional effort.

        The other link offers, in addition

        Reps. Pat Ryan, Josh Riley and Ritchie Torres — who went so far as to say he wouldn’t run for governor if Mamdani won — all dodged reporters.

        Rep. Dan Goldman, asked if he had any thoughts on the result, told Axios: “Not right now.”

        The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.

        New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the “absolute wrong choice for New York.”

        Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had “serious concerns.”

        None of this reflects positively on mainstream Dems. But neither is it “The Dems are FIGHTING THE PROGRESSIVE WING HARDER THAN THEY FIGHT TRUMP”.
