Once again, Democrats. Always too little, too late. Never willing to meet the moment. Never able to read the room. No fight, no drive, no spine.

I talked with a friend of mine from the City, who pointed out that Andrew Cuomo's publicly announced his interest in the position, and apparently polled well (moreso than other options on the poll, at least).
Can't say I'm keen on Cuomo running in a special election and winning. New York's seen enough of him and his.
Word on yet more of Cuomo, but get this compromised fuckhead Adams right the fuck outta here.
More like too nothing.
I have many issues with Pelosi but she seems to have been the only Democrat with any major influence over the party in recent memory who was willing to use the checks at her disposal against blatant corruption. The rest of the Democratic party leadership are proving to be utterly useless and incompetent.
who was willing to use the checks at her disposal against blatant corruption
Except for the insider trading that she participated in so lucratively. And the one fight that she always prioritized has been to keep the progressives down.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. Like I said, I have issues with her and I don't want her back. But she's also the only example of a leading Democrat in recent memory who's exercised power to stand up to Trump in any meaningful way. She impeached him twice and withheld a SotU address until he relented in a government shutdown. My point is, why are the other Dems so fucking spineless at a time we need action the more than ever?

It's almost refreshing to see middle-of-the-road, classic, non-nazi slimeballs. The worst of a better world.
In a statement, Adams said there is “no legal basis” for limiting his authority.
“I have told the governor, as we have done in the past, that I am willing to work with her to ensure faith in our government is strong,” Adams said.
Then resign jackass
Then resign jackass
"I didn't say I would do anything. I said I would work with her as in: she does what I want, I tell her to fuck off for everything else, and we call that cooperation!"
Thanks for nothing, lady.
Ah yes because we live in a post-consequences-for-assholes world apparently
The Democrats are not going to save us. Consequences will come from the people, or not at all.
Don’t worry. NYC voters will in the primaries.
You have faith in people's decisions? You must be new here.
