    He is the Democratic nominee. As the post says, he’s mostly going against the former Democratic, current independent, mayor Andrew Cuomo more than the republican candidate.

      Now it’s time for the “vote blue no matter who” crowd to put up or shut up. So far, party loyalty doesn’t seem very important to a lot of the establishment.

        That’s because they only support “democracy” when it is ruled by a corporate oligarchy. Neolibs will not abandon neoliberalism when it becomes unpopular, they will abandon the illusion of democracy; just like conservatives did.

          Meh. We’ll see what happens when it threatens their office. A lot of them have already started changing their rhetoric.

      Ah I missed that, sorry. But that’s hilarious, I can imagine the Republican-level mental gymnastics that many democrats are now required to pull off so they can still support Cuomo.
