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.

At some point…? After that kid popped off at him in PA, all the offline people I know were just pretty universally either “shame he lived” or “meh”.

You can only be a hateful and bigoted bully for so long before even the ‘apolitical normie’ can connect the dots between Cheeto’s stochastic terrorism, and someone turning that energy back his way.
