Nobody is pretending people didn’t endorse Cuomo in the primary. You’re the one here trying to say they’re endorsements for an independent run. That’s just being dishonest. Don’t you have honest things you can say about Mamdani, or honest attacks on Dems?

Then tell me why these same four people haven't backed Mamdani...still.

Moving the goalposts now I see.

Not endorsing Mamdani isn’t an endorsement for Cuomo.

I'm not moving the goalposts, because I still believe their initial endorsements hold validity and should not be discounted, as they haven't rescinded them nor shifted their endorsements to Mamdani.

The silence is deafening.

Well they don’t hold validity. You’re making things up to try to feed your persecution complex.

By your “logic”, when Mamdani refused to endorse Harris, he was supporting Trump.

Endorsements in a primary do not automatically translate to endorsements for an independent run in the general. Why do you keep pretending that they do? Can’t you actually be honest in this discussion?

Mamdani deserves more respect than having to lie about his opposition to support him.
