I assure you that the national committee had abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with this city-chapter scandal.

I'm not convinced that's true, but this is hardly the only example of such, in any case, not even the only recent example, and not even the most high profile recent example.

When it's no longer a pattern, people will stop pointing it out.

You're mad that Cuomo didn't get the endorsement? Why?

You’re mad that Cuomo didn’t get the endorsement? Why?

Um, no. And that feels fairly disingenuous since the progressive/leftist objections to Cuomo are pretty well known, and in particular his attacks on Mamdani and his support from establishment dems, and their corresponding attacks on Mamdani, even up to and including his declaration that it's OK since maga can just get him in.

So please come back when you'd like to engage in good faith. Thank you now!

Mamdani is the DNC candidate. The vast majority of state and federal DNC support Mamdani. I have not seen anybody endorse third party independent Cuomo since he lost the election and left the party.
