What matters is that Cuomo and all the people who endorsed him are still going to claim they're the rightful heirs to the Democratic Party, how dare young people challenge them, all of that. The difference is they're now just unaffiliated lunatics, banging on the windows. They're not the party.
James Carville text: "crawdads and crawmoms, we need to stop the radical left from taking over the soul of this party"
Dems when Trump wins: where did we go wrong? should we throw trans people under the bus? are we too extreme? Dems when Mamdani wins: i'm so disappointed in the voters, can we still run as independent?
It’s going to be interesting to see what the Democratic big whigs do if Mamdani wins the general election. I think they are still going to run away from him. They pay more attention to Fox News-driven narratives than to their own voters.
Escort them out, please!
Reminds me of the hippies shutting the kids behind them down- yea that was a fucking disaster too
I can’t believe that these old democrats (and I’m old too) refuse to endorse the younger generation to lead, WE RAISED YOU and I trust you.
Please don't make this about age.
They're as relevant to Democrats as George Santos is to Republicans
Unfortunately, the Dems seems determined 2 marginalize the middle class, to their peril. I get it, the pendulum is swinging left& right; but the middle is more than just the cranky old white men u abhor. It's a big mistake not 2make an effort 2 identify w the middle class. It's a shared struggle.
Thank God! They can all f*** off
The party is whatever the voters make it.
Yup.
Theyre gonna be busy trying to sabotage mamdani
We are going to have to suffer them until November, too.
Here's hoping David Hogg is doing the Superior Dance.
David Hogg just didn’t want to run against a woman. Age never factored into his DNC election issues.
*Derp
Sure Jan
Gen why did he bail out of the contest when the women who had been inappropriately left off the “at large” ballot were added back on?
Specifically the ones banging on the windows.
Sounds like someone has no idea who their enemy is...
They will eventually try to pull a maga type coup of the Democratic Party
OTOH, will that be true in contested general elections? Does a NYC mayoral race really reflect what's likely to happen in swing states?
No. Of course it doesn’t. This is all so silly really.
Stop making me feel hope
I'm interested to see how many Democratic Party dollars go into the general election. I have a feeling the party is not going to spend as much as they would for Cuomo
Mamdani can essentially crowdsource from the entire country. We're all talking about him. If a PAC representing him asked Americans for $5 in September or October... Plus being outspent by Cuomo didn't hurt him.
hate all the money spent by 3rd parties and other establishment supporters. love to see all the money wasted on losers (attacks on Mamdani, Hanif, etc)
@lazytato.bsky.social
Here's hoping. We have another 3 years before we know if the Dems actually are course correcting or not beyond locals.
That part
Inshallah
'We wants it, we needs it. Must have the . They stole it from us. Sneaky little . Wicked, tricksy, false!'
thank you Jesus it’s about damned time
Cuomo Dems’ outreach strategy to younger progressives in a nutshell: youtu.be/QriZJ-X3wbU?...
It’s funny bc establishment dems do that as well youtu.be/Sb4ddeF91-I?...
Whatever. It just feels good to vote for the winner. It's been too long. Like, cosmically.
Not there just yet, but now there's a chance to put up a real fight again that hasn't been seen since 2019. They only going to get more mask off after this.
I’m old, and even I say we desperately need new blood in the party. The new ones have been ( mostly) good, and we need that. My generation cannot rule anymore, the younger generations basically hate us. Some days, I hate us too. But I really hate Trump, and we need new energy
I initially read the last line as “banging on widows” and honestly that didn’t seem any less fitting.
FUCK. THE. GERONTOCRACY.
..I'm old as dirt and I totally agree They need to step out of the way
Or fall. Into a hole. A 6 foot one.
Do you have a cutoff in mind for that category? 30? 40? 45? Or just a year older than you happen to be at any given time?
70 max
Not unreasonable. Hate to lose Bernie though. For someone like Ed Coristine.
Do Logan's Run in real life, and I'm only half joking.
I'm down for that, DZ-105.
I get sick on carousels.🤢
What works in NYC would not work in Kentucky. If this party is finally going to defeat Trumpism, there needs to be a place (including in leadership) for just left-of-center types like Beshear and for democratic socialists like Mamdani. It has to be a broad coalition.
Correction but they've BEEN THAT. Clyburn hasn't had an impact outside of TV for YEARS. Clinton is brought out more as a decoration than a decision maker. This is just the symbolic victory people need. A blatant turn of the page, and that's just as important, if not more so.
Joe Scarborough called it an “absolutely shocking outcome.” Shocking only if you ignore Mamdani’s 11th hour momentum.
I wonder if the Dem establishment is starting to feel it has more in common with the GOP. Ha ha.
The trajectory of socialist and Islamic takeovers is disastrous
100%
they are NOT the party anymore... up & coming Democrats have moved to Democratic Socialist. if Mamdani has shown us anything, it was the stunning moment he asked how visiting Israel was in the interests of his constituents in NYC... tell the truth. Stand for common good. And make fucking sense.
I hope you’re incorrect and they put on their big boy pants on and back the primary winner. Because infighting is how we lose, actually I should say this is we give wins to the Republicans.
SocialDem to Gracie Manor Neolib to war criminal's defense team
I want the exact opposite of whatever this is right now. Idc what it calls itself or who. I like to be kind and respectful to everyone unless given a real reason not to. If it was a being from space I would do the same. Anyone who had a part in causing this has given me an absolute reason not to.
The party is really just a business. And that business will continue under the mantle of " independent". Billionaires will fund, consultants will get paid, the party business machinery are already making the switch. Let's face it, their brand is trashed anyways so they really don't even care
it’s also very funny the Democratic Party will double down and say the bullshit “electability problem” stuff for anyone left of John Fetterman in future elections lol
Fetterman, he needs to resign and go get help.
let's check in with James Carville....
All it says is that the ‘vested interests’ back BOTH horses in every race. When an unexpected third horse wins, they try to undermine it so that EITHER one of their other horses can win.
Too late, he conceded. Mamadani wins!
Talk about not getting a positive return on such huge $$$ investments..Cuomo backers are no better than Musk in Wisconsin earlier this year....next time use your $$$ to help the less fortunate in the city
We’re here in SoCal really glad that someone new is beating the Democratic establishment. (Which is “not slaying” to quote my daughter).
Your daughter is right. The proverbial pigs have fattened themselves to a point where they can't eat any more
is this not just the resurgence of the Tammany Hall trash of yesteryear?
Oh FFS. Move forward. Focus criticism on the GOP. Thx.
No.
And another miscalculation they make, is assuming people in their demographic are their biggest supporters. To the contrary. Many of us are the ones who are most sick and tired of them.
OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!!! LETS GO… Zohran Mamdani 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
So Tim, as a left leaning independent originally from So Jersey and Md now in SWFL: exactly who leads the Democrats in the nation outside of NYC?
#UnaffiliatedLunaticsParty
May this happen all over the country
Seemed like Cuomo was very positive and congratulatory in his concession speech regarding the winner.
People hate the establishment. The Democratic Party protects the establishment but the voters are rejecting it.
This is what they’re doing. I’m getting put on anti dem “lists” here because I’m saying young people are not going to vote for what got us here. I am a parent of young people, I’m just saying. This is why we lose and will continue. That insider trading is hard to give up.
So how about for a change we ignore them instead of elevating them by posting their stupidity on a regular basis
They still hold the purse and they will definitely use it until it fall out of their cold, dead hand.
It won’t fall. Take it.
As someone old enough to be a (very young) grandma, I endorse this sentiment! Let’s bring the change
I look forward to the day when folk will laugh at Rupert Murdoch and his scions, treating them as the mad fools that they are. With Murdoch's propaganda outlets still active, the new guard may be as toxic as the old.
More of this, please.
Young people waking up and realizing they can actually make change and vote out the old guard when they actually show up and vote instead of complaining things will never change. Who knew.
They haven’t been for decades.
No thanks. Didn't Karl Marx help Engels write the Communist Manifesto?
Lol, hey man don't cope this hard already. It's a long night
I woudn't be putting that broad assessment out on the Dem Party given that their progressive leader lost two primary elections. Nothing "progressive" about progressives. Just anti-Dem.
Yep. Berniebros for Nazis. So progressive. www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...
Bernie hasn’t stopped trashing the Democratic Party. Yet he wanted to be our nominee.
Bernie is a malignant narcissist, just like Trump. "My Way or the Highway". That was why he was a complete failure in Congress, and accomplished nothing of significance.
Bernie has despised Democrats ever since JFK tried to take out Bernie's hero, a brutal Communist dictator named Fidel Castro. www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilan...
The "old Dems" did the work. Started locally, worked up. Proved themselves. The young ones, the do nothings, want to start at the top. Not city council, Congress. It's damaging their cred. They don't know things they should know. They don't legislate but pontificate. We need better.
👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 I don't know who thought up the plan to paint all the experienced people as old and useless. It wasn't someone who understands what it's going to take to fight authoritarianism. Multi-generational communities are making a comeback for a reason.
Hogg was a large part of it. Maybe he should spend time getting rid of useless Democratic Socialists like AOC. Worthless. Laws passed: Lauren Underwood 19, AOC 0. Oh wait, I forgot, Hogg is a Berniebro, and Berniebros helped to elect Trump.
I'm just watching. They keep elevating hype over substance. Governance is more than popular ideas and vibes. Show me the passed legislation.
It's a CULT. They don't even realize that they take themselves BACKWARDS (us too) with their "revolution".
Exactly. Populist BS. Berniebros for FREE cheeseburgers with extra cheese and pickles on the side, XL fries, and an XL milkshare. But if they don't get their way, they help to elect Nazis.
Lauren is gaining visibility the right way - via effectiveness. Hogg is on a power trip that will eventually meet reality and turn even more sour. There has been a serious uptick in nasty accounts mentioning him being vanquished. Respect is earned, not taken hostage.
Exactly.
Tim Onion's girlfriend, K a t A b u, is running for the House seat in Illinois's 9th district. She's doesn't live in the district, nor does she have any experience in politics. "Tim"'s very invested in this "out with the old, in with the new" theme, they're trying to get K a t elected.
Oh wow. Interesting.
Thank you for your research and insight.
Yes she’s another grifter. Now Deja Foxx, who is running for a congressional seat in AZ is real. Works in the community. Check her out.
They are primarying her saying YOUNG people should have a shot. So a Latino with vague creds is her challenger. She is 38. Hard to tell how old he is but probably early 30s. That's how stupid this is.
The interesting thing is that a majority of Americans favor more progressive policies, but are skittish about the socialist label and populist personality cult beibng attached to it. It's not very strategic to alienate folks they label as centrists and liberals.
Bernie has despised the Democrats ever since JFK tried to take out Communist dictator Fidel Castro. His campaign strategy was "I despise Dems, but please vote for me anyway". That has to be the dumbest political campaign strategy in American history.
People in Vermont seem to adore him at the state level. I don't think he's lost a state race there since the 90s. That doesn't appear to translate nationally. It would be good to see him using the populist influence he has to work with local activists in opposition to this fascist regime.
Berniebros helped to elect Trump. Bernie was complicit in Russiagate. Putin just LOVES Bernie. No thanks.
Fighting fascism would involve caring about the victims, and he is hostile to immigrants, people of color, the poor. But nothing can help us "fight the oligarchs" until fascism is stomped out, but he puts that fight on Dems, not on himself.
It may be dumb, but Vermont folks fall for it all the time.
Yes. The whitest of all of the states too.
Yes.
There is no “party” when both sides are just varying shades of shit. They both play by the same rules, run around in circles on the same field, and are paid by the same oligarchs. We can do better than capitalism.
Time to “ok grandpa/grandma, let’s get you to bed” on every single one of them
you mean the flower bed right
Funny how every generation thinks it invented change. The wise don’t step aside because they’re old—they step aside because they know when their voice no longer adds clarity. Some folks just mistake the echo of their own opinion for relevance.
Bed? More like ice floe.
Unfortunately the money is the party and it will let everyone know these next few months.
…and now the republicans will govern NYC because, once again, the democrats can be counted on to tear themselves apart in the primary.
It's your big apple now, worms! 🐛 🍎
The people are tired of the same old song and dance routine.
Hi Ben, Quick request: could you sometimes refer to the Lord of Lies, the King of Kings as “New York Man,” in the spirit of “Florida Man?”
Is it too soon to start guessing how many of them will become MAGAts now instead? Anywhere they can take their corruption is where they'll go, I imagine.
NOW THEY’RE THE SICKOS!
Honestly, Zohran went easy on Cuomo. What a cynical ploy, to just pick up where he left off, without the remotest shred of remorse or need to rebuild bridges.
Time for a change!
All these old politicians are CORRUPT! They are all millionaires! They lie! They cheat! They tell us what we want to hear! We are going to sharpen our BS meters and not vote for anyone unless they have a proven track record!
I agree with this, but I think we have to wait for the general election to be sure. Some senior democrats shun progressives not because of fundamental policy disagreements but because they just think progressive politics is a losing strategy. People like Mamdani (and Kat) need to prove them wrong.
this is the same reason the "weird" argument worked against trump and vance during the election and doesn't anymore
Primary all the old dogs out. Only fresh blood will fight tyranny.
so fucking this, the shift is tectonic in terms of the party’s identity and trajectory clintons are emblematic. party heavies. they weighed in and whiffed the press the prognosticators and the experts all need to recalibrate in light of what will happen
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social
I'm not a New Yorker but have been following this race just to see if people are waking up. It's looking pretty good so far, not the same old name recognition BS like before.
I've never replied with this to a post before because it makes me cringe, but THIS.
Democrats need an infusion of Young Blood.
I suspect we'll see a half dozen "opinion" pieces about how ranked voting is now a bad thing.
You're heading into NYT Pitchbot territory. Bravo!
And they'll probably do it even though Mamdani would have won anyway if they were doing First Past The Post, since he had the plurality in the first round.
I'd put money on it. Headlines will be about how ranked choice "pushes radicals into office" or something similar.
which is funny cause in Australia we have preferential voting (and compulsory voting) and if anything it's kept the weirdos out of office, the right wing party was trying to follow the American right playbook and it blew up in their faces. they were massacred last election.
Yeah that victory made me want to live in Australia. Maybe though now things won't be so bad here in the future.
the election before last I predicted the Liberal Party was cooked because their apathy -outright denial of climate change pushed a lot of otherwise liberal voters to the "teal independents" they had image issues cause the religious right had pushed the moderates out 1/
they went from "yeah he's a little to conservative for people" priminister to "moderate guy but we're gonna oust him" to "he's a holly roller but not as obvious about it" to "the worse one possible what were you thinking??"
didn't help they chose the worst possible leader, a far right dingbat who no one liked
lol “radical” Fukc we’ve been pushing for decades for progress. They’ve fought so hard against progress and reason, now the world is burning
Republicans are already trying to ban ranked choice in Ohio.
When you take $$ from Emperor Palpatine, at some point you have to admit you’re no longer your own man. Or woman, for that matter.
I'd like a list of Democrats that endorsed that pompous, entitled madman.
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around.
And they’ll backstab and undermine. Learn from what happened to Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. Thoroughly purge them now before it is too late.
💯 correct
But they'll be dead soon 🤣
Changing of the guard and It's. Past. Time.
Honestly the Baby Boomers have held onto power much longer than they should have. They don’t even trust GenX much less the others.
No one has ever given up power or influence willingly, in all periods of history. It has to be taken, and I hope younger democrats do so
The Democratic Party gets to decide right now if they will be relevant or not in a few years. Embrace the obvious direction of the political consciousness Or cling to the Titanic as it sinks I believe The Party bosses will burn it all down before they cede even an ounce of power, but we’ll see…
Good. We need new blood not a bunch of old boring 🥱 deadbeats that sound asleep who are obviously working to retirement and will not leave early. Greedy and selfish.
It's so weird the Democratic party could have cultivated young new leadership but instead refuse to release their cold, dead grip, so we'll just take it and they can die in obscurity.
It’s a pathology of the Boomer generation, that they refuse to release power to the next generation.
Please don’t blame Boomers. I’m one and I totally sympathize with this viewpoint. I felt this way when I was 40. It felt like the WWII guys would never let go.
How is there heirs to democracy?
Rapey Andrew Cuomo can eat a bag of 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆!
Which is why you’ll be saying “President Vance” in a few years. I personally would have voted for Stringer. They can barely keep the buses running with fares, let’s see how it works with all that money removed.
Hardest agree ! Good f'in riddance.
Establishment Democrats Worried That They Are Not Dying Fast Enough For Younger Party Members Seeking Leadership Roles
it's fascinating seeing them continue to talk about "real voters" when actual real voters have been showing stronger and stronger affinity for non shitdem progressives election over election since they prevented bernie from winning that 1st primary
Don't speak for all Democrats.
Try reading the post again, but slower this time.
That's the message Mamdani's voters just sent.
If only we had a recent gauge of the opinion of Democrats, perhaps from a major city.
Makes sense: Felon 47 posts on social media and never sounds intelligent.
im still convinced that Cuomo might try and take a shot at running for president when trump's six feet under
I want to see nothing but young people. I’m over 60, I feel someone in their 30’s are needed to reform our party and kick out the elite corporate shills and the billionaires. Enough of stock trading too. They’re going out kicking and screaming and I’m here for it.
FINALLY!
It shouldn't be about parties. It should be about competence.
Oh, love. Conservatives, moderates, they vote like clockwork. Look at the voting consistency of young voters. You can’t make change if you don’t win elections. You can’t win elections if you don’t vote.
This outs the Democrat Party, for anyone who didn’t already know, that it is the enemy of Americans. It should spell the end of the party or the dissolution of the present union of states.
Mamdani is older than Bill Clinton was when he became governor. He is older than Biden was when he became a senator.
Exactly. I cannot believe how long people expect to hang on to power these days. In prior years people stepped away at 60 or 70 because they no longer truly understood current society.
Boomers think they understand current society because they were the ones who created it, LGBTQ+ rights, the pill, etc. Life expectancy increased, which is why they don’t want to step away. Most importantly they have the money and with it power. Money + power = til death
Tho I am 70 I consider myself a Jones era person and I have unnaturally young Gen Z children. I realize how out of touch I am. I cannot imagine an 80+ person in power. Ridiculous.
Totally understand.
Exactly. Though I’m always amazed how confidently people link age to cluelessness—as if youth has a monopoly on relevance. I’ve met 30-year-olds who peaked in high school.
Or didn’t hinge their life happiness on being in the political spotlight. Retire and chase after something different.
Lifelong politicians often struggle with leaving/losing elected office & becoming less socially relevant. When they lose or retire, it seems like there is a spike in depression or anxiety. Others are happy to cut the dealings & play hermit, but they first needed a push to get there.
I read that as banging widows🤣🤣🤣
That’s how winning the primary works
Go work for a corporation if you expect to get a promotion handed to you simply for having seniority. Public service is about who will serve the people best.
It's maddening to listen to pundits, reporters, and party insiders rail against all these "upstarts" and "outsiders" who "don't even respect the Democratic Party" or "want to be in it." You tedious old fools. You're so out of touch you don't even see the ivory tower you're complaining from.
They could have pivoted and just paid lip service to the winning platform, instead they doubled down on sex pestery and didn’t offer any real solutions.
Wouldn't it be grand if instead of the anticipation of their rotten tactics abt to surface, that they grew up & threw their support behind him & helped us win back our Country? These steps r important. This message is crucial. They need to sit the fuck down now. I'm sure they're stunned rt now.
WE ARE ✊
Those aren’t heirs. They’re Six-Sense Democrats who don’t know they’re dead.
They should form the Gerontocracy Party.
New Democrats are where it's at baby! I am a Boomer that has long advocated for younger blood in politics that are socially responsible and progressive. The big money Dems like Pelosi, Schumer ect have got to go. Congress owning stocks needs to be done away with. America needs ANTI-CORRUPTION.
In reality when Mamdani doesn't knock it out of the park year round, or receives PR subversion by police unions, etc, these individuals/entities will come out trumpeting how they speak for the masses and Mamdani et al were the false prophets
No matter who is mayor, people like Chaya Ratchet or Dinesh D’Stoupid will continue to say that New York is overrun by migrant terrorist islamist transgender ideology, so their “endorsement” of Cumo means literally fuckall
Without highly-engaged young people, Democrats will see even fewer chances of winning elections. They are the core of the activists who knock on doors, call and get parents/grandparents to do the same. Where Democrats are losing swing states, often it’s because the older Dems are literally dying.
The young do not stay young forever.
Which is why they're supposed to retire at some point.
Well, it's more like they're not the Party because there isn't a Party. They worked so hard to dissolve it's structure they can't mold it anymore.
No one lays total claim to the party outside of Black women. Why them? The most loyal voters, wisest policy people, most active in promoting candidates. Everyone else of us can suck eggs. They are always the backbone of us all.
I’m very happy for Mamdani. I really wish there was less agist rhetoric around his apparent win, though. If you’re up for the job, I don’t care how old or young you are. ☮️
If the Republicans can ever rid themselves of MAGA, these are people who will align with the 'New Republican Party'. Or they will try to found a destructive party to maintain power under the guise of being steady at the helm. They have shown the lengths they will go to stamp out rising stars.
They WILL throw their support behind the Republican candidate, but that's in their job description. Fuck 'em, move on. 😎
bsky.app/profile/kenk...
Fetterman strikes me as more of a window-licker than banger.
First reclaim the Dems from oligarchy, then reclaim the land from dictatorship
Thx to all the young folks working to reinvent & revive our party. It's been a long time coming. Bless you all. 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
And watch for a bunch of them to now either back an independent run by Cuomo or just outright support the Republican candidate.
We’re pushing grandpa down the stairs!!!
Can we get a sad sicko's with "boo hoo hoo, nooooo"
Well fucking said
Yeah this has shown that young people and progressives will never be able to convince democratic establishment to be better. They’ll have to take over the party instead.
I'm unaffiliated but happy enough to vote for new blood. Especially if that new blood isn't financed by dark money and insider trading. I don't think I will be voting for another incumbent for years.
well if thats true, good.
The DNC owes @davidhogg.bsky.social an apology
SICKOS! :)
I hate this. Does my entire fucking generation have to die before the next generations can get shit fixed? I hope not because I'm not ready to go yet.
But Cuomo lost because everyone could see what I did: that Cuomo was running for himself, not the city. I hope he’s more successful than Brandon Johnson, who is a joke. I suspect he will be.
Blah blah. I’m 64. It was obvious at least to me that Cuomo was out of gas, needed something to do, so he ran. I need things to do too at nearly his age. I took up pickleball and got my head in order about how certain things ended. I highly recommend it
WORD!!!!!!! AND THE $$$$ GIVEN TO CUOMO RACE WAS STUNNINGLY DISGRACEFUL
Young people need to challenge all of them.
Dude, Cuomo smells more like a Flipper than a dolphin does. 😜
Just like the GOP the old Democratic Party is dead. We need new blood and courage.
There’s a secured wing in nursing homes for when old folks get like this
They don't represent the base, that's for sure.
How about the Indivisible cadres move in and take over the Democratic Party? Even if that involves the tedious work of showing up for Dem party meetings and running candidates? Instead of, you know, fantasizing about 3rd parties or pretending to be too high-minded to be - gasp! - partisan.
Tomorrow
I'm tired of senior citizens with malice running things
we can only hope that the biggest takeaway of the establishment is to stop trotting out bill clinton for everything
No, bring Clinton everywhere. We'll have People's Republic by August
We’re all so tired of being told to wait for our turn, until there’ll be nothing left for us to do with it if it ever comes. The time is now.
I’m 72 and I totally get what you’re saying. When I was your age I was railing against the WWII guys who held onto leadership way past their time.
It’d be less insulting to be told to wait your turn if these guys didn’t actually mean wait until they’re ineffective mummies being rolled around by aides who vote for them for ten years before they die.
What's that about "waiting"?
Right?! There's something to be said about age and wisdom from experience, but this set of old people 1. Don't recognize they are old, apparently, and 2. Are not mentoring their replacements! They could have influence and not have to be in charge. Normal people do not want to run the show at 85.
Cuomo is in his 60’s. He’s just a disgraced politician.
I'm talking about Senators and Representatives
Go and get your turn. If you are young and interested in working to help people, make it happen. If you don't you will end up like us GenXers, sitting around with the popcorn waiting to see who wins the hunger games.
I envy the belly laughs David Hogg is presently enjoying
‘Elections have consequences’, one of which is being left in the wake of progress…
But will they go the Full Lieberman?
I am not a Democrat. I do think the party has a bigget tent than you imagine. VOTERS who vote D do still have agency, even if *leaders* are wrong on things. Again, if I was a one issue voter [I'm not], it would be *$Money OUT of politics/Legislate end to Citizens United* for Every Candidate
Here’s a fun fact. All allegations and accusations against Cuomo have been investigated and dropped. The DOJ refuses to take any further action against him.
