The guy hasn't been in office for over 15 years, why should I give af what he thinks?
It’s a good way to point out that the Democrat establishment hasn’t given a shit about the will of the people for at least 15 years then.

Not only does the destroyer have a funding plan for his policies,
If anyone ever tells me I need to support the democrat candidate blue no matter who they get a slap in the face.
Welp, at this point anyone calling the us any form of democracy has to put the clown makeup on thick first.
You have a two party system with one party having no access to anyone not on a list of approved individuals vs the other party having a glorious leader and no access to anyone unless approved. The real sad part is only one of those two cares about holding power, so you have a nation of fascists (remember they did win that election) and a bunch of people who can claim some sort of moral high ground.

"Democrats will be doing a disservice to the people they wish to serve"
So.... billionaires
Democrats' dicks don't work.
As long as Democrats block popular leftist policy they are no better than the Republicans.
If a party only allows policy that consolidates wealth into the hands of the rich then it is useless to workers.
Sorry babe, bit vote blue no matter who.
And, uh, by blue we mean red this time.

Are recalls a thing there? Because that Paterson guy needs to be recalled.
Edit: He’s not even governor. He served a partial term in 15 years ago and wasn’t even elected. This is madness.
Exactly what you'd expect from these anti-DNC crowds, madness and malice.
Mamdani is the DNC candidate, vot for Mamdani
Amazing that people in the same party would critize each other ain't it? That's called competition, having an opinion, not lining up in lockstep behind Daddy. Before MAGA that used to be the American Way. Try it sometime.
Politics shouldn't be competition it should serve the popultion interests

Slander is spoken, libel is written.
I'll change the title to 'attack' instead of slander because the grammar police is getting out of hand
That dude nailed that character in one of those 'best in history, nobody else could have' performances.
JK Simmons was the objectively correct choice. 100% perfectly cast.
At least 100%.
Technically correct, but what the governor said isn't even libel, in fact it's very polite criticism, saying he doesn't think Mamdana is the best person for the job - not even "bad", just not the best. And it's just the governor, not "Dems". OP is just spewing standard MAGA bullshit.
*mamdani
And he’s not even the governor.
Well yeah, former governor. So at this point just some guy criticizing Mamdani (also, typo fixed - thx).
Spiderman!
"Already caught up in a scandal involving a close aide, embattled New York Governor David Paterson was charged on Wednesday by the state's ethics watchdog for unlawfully taking free baseball tickets to the 2009 World Series.
The charge came days after Paterson ditched his short-lived campaign for a new term in office following revelations that he and state police had spoken with a woman who accused a top governor's aide, David Johnson, of assault last year.
After speaking with Paterson, the woman failed to appear in court and her case was dismissed, according to The New York Times, which first reported the story."
Fuuuuuck the Democrats. The other right wingers.
Mamdani is the Democrat, Paterson served unelected for 2 years over 15 years ago.

Im so glad this happened. You don’t owe democrats a damn thing.
I've been saying for years and years that the whole American political system is WWF theater. It's all scripted to catch the attention spans of people who only care about seeing "bad guys versus good guys" and it's been wildly effective. It was somewhat cathartic to see this idea take off in the mainstream and people like John Stewart calling it out now.
Too bad it's too late now. We could have used better representation and actual leaders who care about people about 30 years ago. Instead we have pathetic actors shit-talking for the camera and voting on bills with their investment portfolios.
Nah, even wrestling has more than two factions
And the actors are often human behind the mask. Sometimes even likable!
Plus the athleticism of the performances is, you know; something.
