Dunno, other people are busy or asleep? 🤷

what makes them any different than a criminal?

Given that they're committing crimes, they literally ARE criminals. Abducting people without due process is kidnapping no matter who you are.

I'm fully expecting them to. The Dem leadership supporting an ACTUAL leftist is only SLIGHTLY more likely than them going full fascist and endorsing Curtis Sliwa..

If Cuomo runs 3rd party

He's running as an independent, yes.

and the Dem establishment supports him

Unless they suddenly fall back in love with Adams or go full Sliwa, they will. They fight the left exactly as much as they accommodate the far right.

It would take a catastrophe for him not to.

His opponents in the general are as follows:

• The corrupt former governor sex pest he just beat, running as an independent in order to get a do-over
• Current mayor in spite of being a hair's breath from prison until he went full MAGA, always being a fascist cop (but I repeat myself) and genuinely unhinged, Eric Adams
• Perennial loser and hyper-racist vigilante lunatic Curtis Sliwa.

Not only are they all awful candidates in themselves, their core demographics also overlap to such a degree that it'll be an upset if more than one of them reaches double digits!

Never tried those but DAMN they sound good! 🤤

Thanks, I think so too 🥰

Not really, but thanks for offering!

Nah, caramel fudge and liquorice fudge are pretty rad too 😁

True. Would be a pretty bad idea, though 🤷

How does that even "bring the institution into disrepute"?

Reasonable people (read: anti-zionists and neutral non-zionists) would argue the exact opposite.

Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in "in favor of apartheid" AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug..

checks comment history of ArbitraryValue

Yup, sure seems to be a zionist at any rate..

Pretty sure that was introduced some time in the 70s or 80s. Plus it's delicious 😁

I'm all for it if it also means having enough time to stop the Bush v Gore debacle from happening, thus likely avoiding 9/11 and thus a huge chunk of all the shittiest things to happen to the world in this millennium.

Yeah no, some of us foreigners tend to be squeamish about products of slave labor..

Note that he didn't say anything about actually DEFEATING that bill.

Like with Trump himself, they'll just fundraise on it while refusing to break any norms to defeat or even stall it.

I was in a ska-disco fusion band called Social Explosion. We were insufferable.

He's gonna fail spectacularly, though. Adams is also running and him and Cuomo appeal to pretty much the exact same base so are highly likely to cancel each other out.

Insisting on "Viable centrist candidates" no matter how far right the GOP moves the Overton Window is how you get fascism.

At this point, a "Centrist" in the US is far right by the standards of democracies in general.
