I'm aware I'm simultaneously arguing right this moment for people who can't trust Jeffries and can't trust Mamdani and like. idk. Coalition is a thing. So is timing. So is context. I also think Brad Lander is the bee's knees, a mensch; rightly or wrongly his endorsement kind of sealed my deal.
HIM I like! The fact HE likes Mamdani is one reason I'm open to Mamdani. All easy to say - I live 3000 miles away so, like, who cares what I think? Jeffries shares my revulsion at the way Mamdani did not fight fascism and in fact enhanced it. That said, I would be pissed if Jeffries endorsed Cuomo.
Yeah it does piss me off that people keep saying Jeffries DID endorse Cuomo. I don't see that. I see him being pissy and Not Helping, mainly. I also think people are being entirely too bitches eating crackers over Jeffries, Schumer, and the Dems as a party and a lot of people are being played.
Agreed. He did not endorse anyone. I don't think he LIKES any of them.
Seems like. I think he'd have done better to just keep shtum, tbh. Generally Congressional Dems don't weigh in on a mayoral election, I don't think? Yeah, he's from NY, but you know. "I have to wash my hair, sorry" works if that's where you're at.
😂 Yeah - he should have gone with the shampoo dodge. No, I don't think Congress has ever endorsed mayoral.
