Why is it okay for Andrew Cuomo to sexually harass people? Why is that something the Democratic establishment is officially endorsing?
Why is it okay for Andrew Cuomo to sexually harass people? Why is that something the Democratic establishment is officially endorsing?
Exactly.
Because he's a Cuomo.
it should be 100% disqualifying for anyone wanting to run with that ol’ (D) next to their name
I don’t know, but I do know that Republicans have found that they can get Dems accused of damn near anything and other Dems will push them out. Where as Republicans don’t attack Republicans.
The information out there was strong enough that he RESIGNED! Misogyny always wins.
Because no one really gives a shit about women
This is the party that happily brought Bill Clinton to the last convention as a headline speaker.
📌
It's completely bizarre. And obviously, already weeks ago everyone with no chance should have bowed out and endorsed Zohran. But nooooo.
Oh, wait. I just remembered. Zohran is brown. That's why.
We voted for a rapist twiice over 2 competent and moral women. And you're surprised?
Their corporate overlords command want it
Not ok. At all.
Because the rich want him he's dirty.
Fuck the Democrats, that's not even a hard thing to say
No fucking clue. At least we did the right thing with weiner, but this is unconscionable!
Because women are still ranked DEAD LAST in order of importance for both political parties
Both political parties have gone to shit… we need AOC and Bernie to start a new one!
Something independent of the other 2 parties
Yeah, good luck with that.
ASAP
The best solution is for progressives to get out in the primaries and make sure progressive congressional candidates and senate candidates are elected in 2026 and 2028. Voters have been too focused on president candidates; the president has limited power, if congress and senate want to control them.
because - you know - Patriarchy.
Oh, it's just human nature. The fact that some of us can't or refuse to evolve means we all get to deal with it anyway. Sexual assault: Learn to love it. DNC'S new slogan.

🤬😤🤯🤯🤯
Probably because our president is a rapist and young girl diddler. Or so I’ve been told
Because it's full of Boomers who will do anything to remain in control because once it's on the youngins hands they will lose all their cushy yachts and power. They know we'll dismantle the system that gives them so many benefits and they are shaking in their boots.
FYI: We “boomers” are in our 60s and 70s: We’re the old hippies of the 1960s & 70s- many still committed to the leftist values of those days- we are the white-haired people who showed up at No Kings demonstrations- some literally with walkers or wheelchairs. Not sure why we’re being demonized here.
There's a major difference between you normie Boomers and Boomers in position of power. YOU and the people who participated in the marches still may have the leftist values. The ones in politics do not. Hope that helps clarify things
Thanks. Much appreciated. I just get a little cranky when I see all of us boomers tarred with the same brush. 8-)
Clinton dems are okay SA, he was also a close friend of epstein don't forget
They see how well it's working for republicans
Why is this the worst timeline ever?? 😩
It’s ridiculous. Ffs.
I hope you're doing okay 💖
Hi! Was just thinking about you and you popped up! 😊 Yes, we took a van trip to Canada! Almost home. How are you?
Aww! 💖😊 That sounds amazing! I bet it was so beautiful up there! And not 1000 degrees lmao me just kinda hanging in there as best I can right now 💓
🩵
Officially voting for whoever Monica L. says to vote for. Well, not really bc I live in VA. But I would. (reading the BlueSky room, there are probably a LOT of people who would love the opportunity to add a double dose of F$@& off to Clinton and Cuomo to their vote.)
Because establishment dems are scum. Like all centrists.
Because democrats aren’t liberals. They’re conservatives by definition. They only care about maintaining the status quo and corporate profits. And Cuomo is the perfect puppet for the job. It’s time to end support for any corporate democrat and demand a true liberal party.
They are not pure. They think this is how you win? Is god pure? I think not.
I understand many are into recycling,but why do people keep recycling old tired our politicians that have shown that their character is not worth your vote.
Well, God. It seems to work for the other team. But it doesn't make it right.
It’s not okay for Trump to represent America either. Why hasn’t NY learned what happens when the people reelect a previous governmental official with so much baggage?
It's a yankee thing. Usians are allowed to
That’s what I’d like to know as well.
They think they lost because they appealed to women, so now they’re trying for the Joe Rogan voters instead.
Because the American public has proven that grabbing pussy gets you elected
Maybe because of dt it is not becoming a requirement to hold office?
to compete for GOP voters...
I’m no democrat, but these criticisms feel a bit disingenuous. The establishment is what removed Cuomo to begin with. At the end of the day, we are an occupied nation at war for independence & no one is coming from the outside to save us. I won’t love it but I’ll take effective over perfect.
Establishment dems aren't effective.
Because they are desperate to keep the party centrist. They have no integrity whatsoever.
Great question.
NOT ok with me!
Because being progressive is apparently crossing a line 🙄
Multiple women, including former aides and a state trooper, came forward with allegations ranging from unwanted comments about their appearance or sex lives to non-consensual touching, groping, and kissing.
At this point, shouldn’t the Clintons stay out of Democratic politics entirely. It’s not like they have done anything to move the party forward this Century.
Because they don't care. They just want to keep the good ol bois in power to maintain the status quo.
Yeah, HE SHOULD switch his allegiance.
If you find one with an actual spine, lemme know. You know, before they start deporting trans people, too. That'd be fantastic.
Why is it OK to have a rapist for a president? I mean if you’re gonna go one way you better go all the way
Seems like they always have.
Democrats are soft on cuomosexuals!
Bloomberg is supporting him🤮🤮🤮
I’m just asking a question God. Did he? I don’t remember him being charged with anything and I also remember him being very out spoken against and highlighting the failures of the then president D. T. during the covid pandemic. Well over a million people died!!! Suddenly Cuomo was the bad guy.
Bill Clinton?
Look at who in the Democratic party are endorsing him, though. They love their own.
We got a president that is literally guilty of sexual assault. I'm not really shocked the Dems thought sexual harassment wasn't a downside for Cuomo. (He's still shitty, I'm just not surprised they endorse him)
It's no secret, that BITH parties have their 'skeletons ' hidden somewhere. But, at least, dems DONT bow to a dictator, or endorse and enforce violent behaviors, or condone the acts of a psychotic ruler-wanna-be! Weigh it out, WHICH would you prefer?
I'd probably end up voting dems if I'm still in the US for the midterms, but I'm pretty sure the two parties in cahoots with each other. Like they all supported Israel and Biden was literally having Pro Palestine protestors arrested.
Sometimes, it's REALLY HARD to assess what's actually going on with BOTH parties!
Both Democrats and Republicans put party before country. Power before People. Corruption before Constitution. One party is "better" for American than the other. But neither truly represent the will of the people, they only represent their own interests.
Nah Dave. Neither are good for America, and that’s why this thinking is dangerous. Neolibs would rather see fascist slide continue than confront the reality that new politics are needed. So I say let it burn down. If they won’t relinquish power we take it from them in primaries.
Dave never said either was GOOD. One is "better" in that it's less bad. It's like one group wanting to chop off a leg while the other group wants the head. Both bad. One clearly worse.
And let me be abundantly clear. What goes for Cuomo goes for every other status quo democrat that keeps voting for big corp and special interests. Schiff, Booker, even Newsom. I would rather burn down the house than support them in a general. Time for new blood. Time for a new politic.
You misunderstand. I didn't say the Democrats are "good" for America. I said "better" than Republicans. Sure, a punch to the gut is "better" than getting shot but that punch isn't "good" for me. The Dems are a punch, the other is the bullet. I completely agree that your whole system needs replacing.
Because as much as the Democratic Party is better for America than the Republican Party, neither represent "We, The People" of America. You don't have Left-Wing & Right-Wing parties. You have a far-right wing Capitalist party (Democrats) vs an ultra-right wing theocratic Oligarchy (Republicans)
God I hate to break it to you but you need to do your research on the Clintons. Republicans are repulsive scum but democrats are only mildly better on alot of stuff...
If it's ok for the president to do it. Equal justice and all that. Or is it only wrong for Democrats?
Not ok and it reflects poorly on anyone endorsing him. Old gross men supporting their old disgusting ways. 🤮😡 It’s shameful.
Keeping up with the Jones' (GOP).
You know, NYC is a huge blue conclave. Better the devil you know and can control than one that will get beaten by some GOP “centrist” who turns around to assist trump in everything he wants to do to these poor people he’s rounding up. I despise cuomo, but he would tell trump to pound sand
No. No he would not. He would eagerly obey trump like all spineless centrists.
I guess they decided its a winning strategy because it worked for tangerine tiny hands, and they appear to be more miffed he went full fascist before they could go lite version, than all that upset about fascism.
Democratic establishment is fine with sexual harassment when it's their people fighting against progressives.
Because they lost the plot but are betting on the people voting for him anyway.
Dear god, it makes me want to scream. The Dem establishment sucks!
the Democrats are lost, not as lost as the Republicans but lost just the same. Defense of the working class which used to be the hallmark of the Democratic party has been replaced with reciprocity of the monied class.
They want conservative votes
I have lost all respect for Clinton after that endorsement. How far did the party have to fall before it's too late?
How much respect did you have until now?
Same amount as tRump. Do the math.
The Ds didn’t excuse harassment when the purity test was applied to an outsider. Ask Al Franken.
I don't think Al Franken harassed.
What part of putting your hands on (or even simulating that) a woman's' breasts while she is sleeping and photographing it without her knowledge do you feel is appropriate?
On a comedy group trip.
Power protecting power. Can't let the peasants think it is their place to rise above their station.

Tax reasons
Not me
because bill clinton is also a sex pest
Because the media normalized the guy in the White House doing it
They'll let the rich get away with anything. They are defenders of a dead and corrupt system. Why do you think they didn't properly prosecute Trump? Their donors didn't want them too.
Unsure. Unless we, those who don't need to prey upon & dominate others--aka having integrity & dignity--is *truly* rare 🤔
Why is it OK for anyone to do that?
They ran poor Al Franken out of DC on a rail for less-serious allegations. I hate to think it’s a function of being in New York.
Because Zohran Mamdani is a *gasp* Socialist!
And *gasp* Brown
Why is it surprising? They elected one President twice in the 90’s
Good question. You should be in charge of something.
Different than the GOP? The current President is a rapist.
Don'cha love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning?!
With all due respect, sir, you’re God. Why don’t you do something about it? Not to mention everything else that’s fucked up in this world your followers claim you created. 🤷🏽♂️
Because it's "his turn". That makes sense right
Democrats will literally fight leftists 10 times harder than they ever would Republicans.
I mean... Let em. If dems had hands wed have seen them by now
Damn it, Bill. If you’re not going to speak out against an insane GOP successor, then just sit back and enjoy retirement. Anyway, New Yorkers, please don’t rank Cuomo.
Clinton like it
Because they think these ass holes have integrity somewhere and can be shamed into better behavior. They don't, they get better at manipulative tactics to get what they want.
