Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My point is that I'll be shocked if the establishment Dems don't try and tank his campaign by endorsing Cuomo instead. I'll be pleasantly surprised if that doesn't happen.
Seems they'd rather lose to a Republican than win as progressives.
It seems you're having a separate conversation with yourself, so I'll just leave you to it.
Politician can endorse whoever they want. I'm not interested in whatever you think I'm saying.
It's embarrassing how horrifically you have misread this comment thread.
You're being antagonistic with someone who agrees with you.
Their point is that vote blue no matter who is an empty slogan that is only applied when the centrist is the blue candidate. Now that a socialist is the candidate, the Democratic Party will abandon the vote blue no matter who logic. Because it was always just a pretext to force the left into supporting neoliberals, it was never actually about actual party unity
Hey guy. The other person's point is that the Democratic establishment is going to abandon the "blue no matter who" thing to push Cuomo or Adams rather than the official blue candidate.
Gotcha. That was never the DNC’s saying. That’s where the confusion happened. It’s an old “once every four years” liberal rally cry for the barely engaged voter, that was re-popularized to combat Trump after Bernie lost the primary in 2016.
It's probably more effective to yell at someone who is going to read it.
I’m sorry. I misunderstood your comment as the quote was historically used by voters, not the DNC. I understand what you were getting at now. Sorry for being so dense.
