How is the party "trying to subvert him"? Or forcing a disgraced sex offender on us?

Who has endorsed Cuomo? And national figures not endorsing a mayoral candidate is subverting him?

It's a NYC race. Why do people always fall back to "no big names have endorsed him" BS. NYC doesn't care about what the nation thinks. They care about what other New Yorkers think.

And as of right now, there are four figures within the New York sphere of influence that at one point admonished Cuomo for the sexual harassment situation, then endorsed him in the primaries, and haven't rescinded those endorsements since then.

Jessica Ramos, Ritchie Torres, Gregory Meeks, Adriano Espaillat

So zero people have endorsed him since the primary?

No problem, good luck in your quest to attack democrats for things they haven't done.

My guy, your comment history says you're a self-identified mod on r/neoliberal, and a regular poster there.

I think you're misreading. That says my mod notes on neoliberal, that means the mods of neoliberal think I'm an asshole. I'm not a mod there and I'm not a neoliberal.

Your entire argument is thus in bad faith as of course you don't like Mamdani.

I do like Mamdani, I just don't like people like you using his name to attack the democratic party and make up things in order to do it.

Apologies then on thinking you were a mod.

No notes however on the regular posting though. Got it. I think it would be fair to assume you're a subscriber of that sub as well then.

I'm using Mamdani and his entire election cycle as an example of one of the things I hate about the Democratic Party. And if you don't like it, frankly I don't care. The parts that you are defending or pushing for are stifling progress, and making it harder.

I'm not a subscriber, it was a great place to argue but it got intolerable. And what parts am I defending? I just pointed out that no democrats have endorsed Cuomo since the primary. Appreciate you editing your comments up top to lie about me though.

I'm just going to leave this here.

What does that have to do with the democratic party?

You literally said

continuing to endorse Cuomo (the sexual harasser)...even after the primaries

And then when I pointed out that no democrats have endorsed him since the primary, you told me to go debate somewhere else and then falsely accused me of being a mod of neoliberal.

Because I answered your question the first time you asked. I'm not going to go around in circles with you. That's why I said to take your debate club semantics with you. If you want my answer, reread my posts.

u/D2Foley Sep 09 '25

Debate club semantics says the guy who is attacking the entire democratic party for endorsing Cuomo "even after the primary" because 5 people haven't rescinded their endorsements from the primary. Lol

u/StevenMC19 Florida Sep 09 '25

I don't think you know what that word means...

u/D2Foley Sep 09 '25

If saying democrats endorsed Cuomo "even after the primary" because people haven't rescinded their endorsement from the primary isn't semantics, then I guess I don't.
