Did the DNC say something about Mamdani?
Did hitler murder anybody?
An extreme example, sure, but if you control an apparatus, how much responsibility should you take for their actions?
I was just asking because I literally didn't know what this was referring to.
It's pretty much covered in these articles. There are more, but this should give you an overview.

Well leading up to the election they surely had indicated their pick was Cuomo. I'm not sure if this is about policy as much as the leadership assumes brand recognition from a previously electable candidate is more important than anything else.
In the aftermath the only concrete information was the two representatives that said they still didn't like him. There's reports of some rich dudes thinking about throwing money behind Cuomo or even Adams, but I didn't see concrete outcomes on that.
It's clear they wanted a different outcome, but I'm not so sure I'm seeing this "party melting down" people are declaring. I'll agree when significant Democrats continue to undermine and go so far as to try to make Cuomo happen despite the results, but for now I'll reserve judgement.
