(1,940 posts)I do not recall having discussed Cuomo with you previously. You're thinking of someone else that you "went through this shit" with. (But with so many fast-paced and hectic conversations/exchanges going on here, I can see how it would be easy for anyone to get confused or for different exchanges with multiple individuals to become blurred into one.)

(43,257 posts)left the democratic party to run as a centrist independent. How can any democratic voter can vote for this pos is beyond me.
You are right. The person I was communicating with the other day about Cuomo, is no longer a duer.

(1,940 posts)and a reverse-twist on how it's possible for an independent candidates can use the party's machinery to run as Democrats and then quit the party again. Nobody should be doing that. Cuomo is a real piece-of-work, isn't he? What a shitty slimeball Cuomo is to abuse the process like that. He's going to dilute the vote and suppress turnout from people who end up not trusting the process because of the game-playing. There ought to be sore-loser laws in every state that prevent previous candidates who lost their primary from acting as spoilers.

QueerDuck
(1,940 posts)it sounds like he just a "pretend" Democrat. What a shitty thing to do. Only a slimeball would pretends to be a Democrat for personal or political gain. NY (and our entire nation, actually) needs a "sore loser" law to keep this from happening again.
