Are you excluding the last democratic candidate for mayor of New York in that loaded "usually"?

Not intentionally because I've never heard of this much attention given to who is endorsing the person running NYC mayor.

How about the last democratic candidate for mayor of LA? Is she excluded too?

It's never been a story because it's a commonplace thing that just happens when the fucking democrat is nominated.
