NYC Mayor Eric Adams is endorsing Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani

[Glorious bastard]

18. I also spoke out against bashing Mamdani.

And there is prohibition against bashing them:

Support Democrats
Do not post support for Republicans or independent/third-party "spoiler" candidates. Do not state that you are not going to vote, or that you will write-in a candidate that is not on the ballot, or that you intend to vote for any candidate other than the official Democratic nominee in any general election where a Democrat is on the ballot. Do not post anything that smears Democrats generally, or that is intended to dissuade people from supporting the Democratic Party or its candidates. Don't argue there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

On the other hand, there is also this:

Do not post disrespectful nicknames, insults, or highly inflammatory attacks against any Democratic public figures. Do not post anything that could be construed as bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for any Democratic general election candidate, and do not compare any Democratic general election candidate unfavorably to their general election opponent(s).

What we have in this case is two longtime Democrats running against a Democratic Party nominee who is not a Democrat. Between the two rules cited above, there are prohibitions against negative comments with respect to all three of the above candidates: one as a Democratic nominee and two as Democrats generally.

The hysteria I mentioned is sure to be fed by the Republican news sources, not on DU. I can’t imagine you disagreeing with that, and there is no need to get defensive about it.

Naturally, positive comments about a candidate of your choice are perfectly fine.
