6. Trump ordered it

Thursday

The current mayor of New York City is a Trump puppet as a result of a renewable federal indictment hanging over his head. He will have to do whatever the Master wants, or end up in the federal penitentiary.

It's quite the incredible arrangement.

I don't get this MorbidButterflyTat Thursday #60

LOL Trump has openly stated that he wants Cuomo to win and all of MAGA Prairie Gates Thursday #95

I'm shocked! n/t returnee Thursday #7

I am not too crazy about personal qualities of either Adams or Cuomo, but there is a prohibition on DU Glorious bastard Thursday #8

Adams was running against the Democratic candidate, Cuomo still is muriel_volestrangler Thursday #9

I also spoke out against bashing Mamdani. Glorious bastard Thursday #18

Andrew Cuomo is a centrist, running as an independent. He is not a Democrat. Emile Thursday #19

He is a centrist, he is running as an independent, and he is a Democrat Glorious bastard Thursday #22

Sorry to disappoint you. He gave up on the democratic party and is now an independent. Emile Thursday #23

Every source I could fond lists his party affiliation as Democratic. Glorious bastard Thursday #24

When he lost the democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani. Emile Thursday #25

He did not. He lost the primary, as some Democrats occasionally do, but he remains a Democrat. Glorious bastard Thursday #34

If you think he's still a Democrat, you go with that. Do you think Cuomo is a better choice than Zohran Mamdani? Emile Thursday #37

Very few Democrats think Cuomo is not a Democrat. Glorious bastard Thursday #38

That's why he has an I by his name on the ballot, because you say he's a democratic politician. Okay Emile Thursday #40

Again, very few Democrats say he is not a Democrat. What I say is immaterial to this fact. Glorious bastard Thursday #44

Well, I don't consider him a Democrat anymore. He left the party. Emile Thursday #45

That's fine. But I can find no confirmation of him leaving the Party anywhere. Glorious bastard Thursday #63

Well it's not that hard to find. Andrew Cuomo Emile Thursday #68

Not difficult at all. It is just as easy to find his party affiliation. A Democrat, according to all available sources. Glorious bastard Thursday #80

He is not the Democratic nominee. nt mr715 Thursday #47

I am not disputing that. But he is still a Democrat. Not such a difficult distinction. Glorious bastard Thursday #78

Labels mr715 Thursday #85

The consequence of losing a primary is losing a primary, not losing party affiliation. Glorious bastard Thursday #89

Wrong, he lost his party affiliation when he decided Emile Thursday #92

Find me a single official record that says Cuomo is not a Democrat, and then we can talk some more. Glorious bastard Thursday #96

Look up a sample ballot for the NYC Mayoral election Quiet Em Yesterday #97

He is a Democrat. It's like when Katie Porter lost to Schiff in the Nixie Yesterday #100

Cuomo is running against the Democratic nominee as an Independent ms liberty Thursday #29

The "therefore" appears contrary to the DU Terms of Service. Glorious bastard Thursday #39

Nope SunImp Thursday #49

I wouldn't consider phrases like "fair game" to be constructive, or criticism, for that matter. Glorious bastard Thursday #56

Cuomo is not currently an elected official, and this is an election period ms liberty Thursday #59

Here is the rule Quiet Em Thursday #67

"Do not post support" doesn't make posting contempt obligatory. Glorious bastard Thursday #73

You know, Cuomo went full blown MAGA today on a radio show Quiet Em Thursday #74

As the person who co-wrote the TOS, I can weigh in on this EarlG Yesterday #108

Correct. Cuomo clarified very well at last night's debate Nixie Thursday #33

Who cares what Cuomo "explained" mr715 Thursday #50

Exactly, he left the democratic party and is irrelevant. Emile Yesterday #110

I've noticed that MorbidButterflyTat Thursday #55

Nothing wrong with centrism. mr715 Thursday #57

+1, And that "centrists" aren't Democrats. That's how far down the rabbit Nixie Thursday #62

Cuomo decisively lost the Democratic nomination Prairie Gates Thursday #79

Also, Cuomo didn't try mr715 Thursday #84

By continuing to run after the Democratic voters rejected him, Cuomo has disgraced himself and his father's memory Prairie Gates Thursday #90

Via context mr715 23 hrs ago #111

Cuomo isn't a "centrist" - he's a sexual harasser collaborating with the rapist Trump. muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #99

Andrew Cuomo built a reputation as a centrist Democrat. Emile Yesterday #105

Cuomo is, and Adams was (and is now supporting) an 'independent/third-party "spoiler" candidate' muriel_volestrangler Thursday #30

There is a fine line between supporting a third party candidate and objecting to bashing a Democrat. Glorious bastard Thursday #36

you are posting misinformation: Celerity Thursday #69

Our lying eyes. nt mr715 Thursday #70

I was referring to the three candidates mentioned in the OP header. Glorious bastard Thursday #75

Adams (who was, BTW, a Rethug at one point) is not running against anyone, he dropped out Celerity Thursday #82

This doesn't make sense on so many levels, Glorious bastard Thursday #88

Again you are not addressing my specific calling out of your misinformation, and now you are attempting to muddy Celerity Thursday #94

If I see bashing or 'RW hysteria' around here, I'll be sure to take note of it. Torchlight Thursday #11

Any negative comments about any Democrat are fodder for right wing media. Glorious bastard Thursday #20

Please stop policing members of du Keepthesoulalive Thursday #27

What? Glorious bastard Thursday #32

Exactly. There seems to be a huge double standard. Bernie Sanders Nixie Thursday #35

As you know full well, Sanders doesn't run against Democrats in general elections muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #101

Cuomo is a pervert that got ran out of office, why are you defending him? questionseverything Yesterday #106

I am not attempting to censor your speech. Keepthesoulalive Thursday #41

It is DU administrators who tell members what is acceptable. They have every right to do so. Glorious bastard Thursday #43

I am aware of the rules Keepthesoulalive Thursday #46

You may not require my gatekeeping, but it couldn't hurt. Glorious bastard Thursday #76

As I said if they don't like what I'm saying Keepthesoulalive Thursday #93

Why don't you ask the Administrators if Cuomo is a Democrat. Emile Yesterday #103

DU administrator here EarlG Yesterday #109

Thank you for weighing in. mr715 23 hrs ago #113

Simply alert on the post. Torchlight Thursday #31

Why would I do that? I am here to hear people out, not shut them up. Glorious bastard Thursday #42

I do not want SEX PEST Cuomo to win. democrank Yesterday #107

As far as Sliwa SocialDemocrat61 Thursday #13

Cuomo isn't the Democratic nominee iemanja Thursday #58

You are correct on all counts. Glorious bastard Thursday #64

So I'm supposed to act favorably toward a sexual predator? iemanja Thursday #66

Absolutely not. Glorious bastard Thursday #86

The Andrew Cuomo Campaign Is All in on MAGA Influencers Celerity Thursday #72

Is Andrew Cuomo no longer a registered Democrat? Glorious bastard Thursday #81

He may well be, but that's irrelevant, as Cuomo lost the Democratic primary and is now running as sore loser/ Celerity Thursday #87

As a spoiler candidate, he cannot be supported. As a Democrat he cannot be bashed. Glorious bastard Thursday #91

No, you still don't get it. He is running against the only official Democrat - therefore he is not a Democrat muriel_volestrangler Yesterday #98

I refute it thus: mr715 23 hrs ago #112

Yes. mr715 Thursday #65

That's music to my ears! herding cats Thursday #71

The calculus for the endorsement most likely has to do with NYC's uniformed services. lapucelle Yesterday #104

That is probably a plus for Mandomi doc03 Thursday #77
