    OH boy I sure do love purity checks. It’s worked out so great for us in the past.

    Why is this shit always all or nothing, goddamn. It works for maga because they have no nuance and it’s all groupthink, but the rest of the nation is far more complex and won’t just go for a hard left progressive in the same way. It needs to happen but it won’t happen in a single election.

    I am in no way endorsing newsome, but at least he’s doing LITERALLY ANYTHING.



  • The closest I’ve seen is an interview With Tim Miller of The Bulwark and Jeffries. In that interview he presses him on that, where’s the endorsement? All he could bring himself to answer with was ‘I can tell you, the only person I have scheduled meetings with are with Mamdani’, so actually I’d say it’s pretty clear that DNC leadership isn’t backing Cuomo but also not doing much for Mamdani either, which is bad and absurd but not as bad actually as backing someone other than who the people chose in the primary.

    You can’t simply take the lack of vocal support in this intermediate time in between as clear evidence that they back Cuomo, reality is far more nuanced. Your take could have more ground to stand on as we get closer to the actual election without anything different happening though.

  • I know you got paid to be there, but still. A country without a military, even in times of “peace”, is a scary thing. Especially given the direction the world is heading these days… sure you sat behind a desk but who knows what you may have been needed to do if called upon in a worst case scenario, and so for that I say thank you for your service 🙏






  • Democrats leadership is nothing but controlled opposition or absolute weak morons, take your pick. Either way they have no interest in the public’s best interest. Look no farther than the absolute NOTHINGNESS they’ve done to stop Trump every step of the way.

    Dem leadership is complicit in this Epstein coverup at the very least. Obligatory fuck trump/maga/conservatives/etc. etc. I’m not a both-sideser, but in this case both sides refuse to release the list or prosecute anyone other than Ghislaine.
