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!

MODERATORS
One of the reasons MAGA Republicans hate the Democrats is because they see them as craven, politically opportunistic sell-outs. All Cuomo is doing here, is giving them a living example of that stereotype.
LOL, that would mean they don't take a look at their own party which is openly calling for the end of democracy, aligning themselves with people like Thiel and Curtis Yarvin and Musk, doing endless self-dealing, and selling America off for parts while most Americans are ground underfoot. Not sure how the Democrats could possibly top them on being craven, opportunistic sell-outs, honestly.
Cuomo is running as an independent for a reason, I think. As bad and as infuriating as the Democrats can sometimes be....they don't want Cuomo in their party.
That's just it...they don't see that. At all. None of the media they consume frames it like that.
They are told, day in and day out, that everything Trump and his allies are doing is justified, because Democrats have ruined the system. They are told, that all these extreme measures that Trump is "forced" to use, are the only way to correct the course that Democrats have set for the country. They are told that Republicans have been trying to stop them all along, and now have to tear the whole thing down, just to cleanse the rot.
It's all bullshit...but it is what they are being told. They're being told this on the news. They're being told this in church. They're being told this in the job. And they're being told this in the street. They are surrounded by an alternative version of reality, that paints Democrats as an inherently evil organization consisting of people just like Cuomo.
I would say it is true and polls reflect it. Democrats have spent the past 2 decades promising one thing and then giving up after the first hurdle. They gave up trying to reach anyone outside of major cities, and regularly sell out their base in the interest of "gaining moderates". They have lost their credibility with pretty much everyone but yuppies. That's why a self proclaimed socialist like Sanders polls so well in places that are 75% Pro Trump.
