He voted for Cuomo
Its actually none of anyones business! Thats why ballots are secret.
Seriously, why does this even matter
Mamdani is going to win and Schumer is unlikely to be in Congress come 2029
establishment Democrats are the enemy just as much as Republicans, they truly don't give a fuck what happens to the rest of us or even themselves, they think that donor money will protect them

Seriously, why does this even matterEhh, it's pretty bad if the Dem leader can't just loudly say that he voted for the Dem candidate in a general election

Seriously, why does this even matterI generally think this board is too critical of the Democrats or fall for clickbait and I think Schumer has handled the shutdown better, but it is disappointing for leadership to not be able to get behind one of the most liked high profile Dem nominees. I think "he's unlikely to be in office after the next presidential election" is handwave-y, he is currently the top Democrat and that does matter.

It would also not bother me as much if Andrew Cuomo wasn't a known sex pest. It's honestly outrageous to me the support he pulled from current and former elected democrats.
Wait a minute is Schumer even registered to vote in NYC? I assumed he lived in upstate NY or somethingNo facts, only outrage now.
Mamdani is going to win. It's pointless to demand a show of fealtyI find calling it "fealty" to endorse someone bizarre tbh

He voted for CuomoThis. Obviously.
I don't understand how someone can try to defend Schumer or anyone for voting for Cuomo.
He just didn't say who he voted for, nothing says he voted for Cuomo. People are getting upset over nothing whatsoever.Please. This is genuinely insulting to everyone's intelligence.

Are mayoral race votes hidden unlike presidential?Huh? All elections in the US have secret ballots.

Every ballot is confidential, no matter what the raceCan we jump to accusing people of conspiratorial thinking if they that think that Schumer didnt vote for Mamdani?
Seriously, why does this even matterIt absolutely doesnt and its not like this is a new development that Schumer is anything but a walking joke.

This isn't difficult. Schumer and the Senate Democrats deserve credit for standing firm (for once) in this shutdown standoff.Schumer is by a pretty wide margin the biggest fundraiser we have.
That said, it's crystal clear that having the Democratic party being decisively controlled by the D donor class is no longer a viable option. And Schumer is definitely a creature of the D donor class.
Schumer is by a pretty wide margin the biggest fundraiser we have.Schumer is in charge of the Senate Democrats precisely because he's the biggest fundraiser.
He pays for a lot of the expensive races so I try not to rag on him without a good reason.
But he should not be in charge of the Senate Democrats. He sucks profoundly.
Schumer is in charge of the Senate Democrats precisely because he's the biggest fundraiser.
I.e., he's been bought, and not by the people.
What is the goal of stirring in-fighting especially over an election where Cuomo isn't going to win anyways?What's the goal in not treating Cuomo like a sex offender?

Facts are facts.
And what do you expect to accomplish by bringing this up? Because I can tell you right now there is a bigger battle that needs to be won and it's not about the NYC election.Ah fuck I wish I could walk and chew gum at the same time
No one in this topic has mentioned Cuomo being a sex offender until you decided you wanted to move the goalposts.I'm talking about the political figures not distancing themselves from the sex offender.
