    As has been demonstrated, attention is all that matters, positive or negative.

    Cuomo lost the primary. I don’t understand ‘what has been demonstrated’ beyond a sexpest failed governor staying in the race as an independent to spoil the elected primary choice in the NY general.

    It’s insane how deeply institutional FUD over anyone left of Nancy Pelosi pervades the party. Y’all out here cynically doubting immediately, let the man fail on his own demerits, instead of maintaining the ‘another unelectable lefty smh’ meme you are rehashing.

      I’m not saying he’s unelectable, I’m all for him. Screw Pelosi and the archaic Democratic establishment, they can burn.

      And I’m not saying he’s in trouble because he’s too left.

      I’m saying social media, specifically, is stacked against him. And people should restrain their celebration of feel-good upvote ratios as a victory, lest they fall into the illusion of feeling like he’s “trending” and breaking through.
