Democrats have formed a circular firing squad around Cuomo

While Joe Manchin fcked us up the azz and leaves us high and dry. Liberals need to learn focus, message discipline and be less idealistic and more Machiavellian. But thank goodness we got Al Franklin to resign because he told some racey jokes because you know, HE WAS A PROFESSIONAL STAND UP COMEDIAN. This PC BULLSHIT is killing us. We drive Franken out but Manchin and all these corporate criminals get away with murder. This is how the left fcked itself. Drop the social engineering, PC bullshit and stop chasing windmills. We have REAL BATTLES to fight

He was my Senator and I'm still pissed off about that whole situation. The difference is that Franken requested an investigation and didn't get one. In contrast an investigation is being conducted about the Cuomo allegations, and that should determine what happens to him.

which is really just a hearing or several hearings. And it doesn’t determine guilt or innocence of the accusations, just if Congressional ethics rules had been violated.

Look at what the likes of Ducey, Abott, Ivey et al are doing - pushing people into the pandemic to benefit big money interests.

Cuomo is gov of one of the most important states economically for big business - yet resisted the backlash of lockdowns - all to protect people and hold true to science.

How does the “left” get blamed?

I want m4a so I consider myself far left but I didn’t want franken to resign or the ny gov, I gave grief over biden making that aid resign because he “threatened “ some reporter

I am not even sure it’s democrats leading the charge
