Doesn't hurt to be able to go on your brother's prime time cable news show to have some relatable familial banter, either.

Stop Trying To Make Andrew Cuomo Happen
- Thread starter -Devious-
- Start date
Between him & Biden? I'd choose Cuomo over Biden anyday of the week if given the choice.
Last week is hardly the past. Also this specific crisis he totally failed to act as a leader and only took the appropriate steps when the situation was way too far gone.
Perhaps but I wait and see if there are accusers before I make up my mind on them.
Amazon Cuomo is almost everything wrong with today's Democratic Party. Even though he took a chainsaw to Medicaid and our hospitals, he's white, wears a suit and can speak in complete paragraphs so why not make him God? Why can't racist homophobes have a seat at our table too?
Increments man! Can't go too Left. It would be mean of the NY Democrats if they didn't share power. Jesus said to share!
Goddamn, 2 weeks ago feels like 2 years ago.Pretty much.
Gov. Cuomo says he won't approve coronavirus 'shelter-in-place' order for New York City after mayor tells residents to prepare
Cuomo said that such drastic policies would create more fear amid the COVID-19 outbreak, which has now infected more than 6,500 people across the U.S. and killed at least 115, according to Johns Hopkins University.www.cnbc.com
He's having his limelight because he's one of the few acting like a leader but in reality he's just been bad before this all started.
He's been trying to run for president since 2012, it ain't happening. This good national press he's getting is having the requisite blowback from the folks who know him.
Amen. He's the only announcment I wait for besides the CDC and Fauci.
Too bad
Democrats and Republicans both love that big strong white daddy energy. It's bullshit considering Dewine and Newsom had better responses to this pandemic.

Yes, the guy who cut twenty thousand beds from NY, cuts medicaid and allowed the blue dog IDC to control the NY senate with Republican help for the better part of a decade is better than Bernie fucking Sanders. This is why we're continually stuck in this cycle of pain lol.
No one is ever good enough for this place it seems, like make what fucking happen? Maybe worry about that when whatever "what" is actually starts happening. For now, he's actually acting like a leader during this crisis.
Fucking A'
Fucking A'
do You think cutting Medicaid and jailing people pre-trial in a pandemic is "leadership during a crisis"
elected leadership arent roles in a marvel movie. Unless you have a substantial critique to the issues presented you sound whiny that people don't love politicians simply because they can speak in coherent sentences.
He's pushing policy that makes pandemics worse... during a pandemic.
Of course he's doing better than Trump, a dead rat would do better than Trump.
People still trying to normalize Trump, so your complaint is making me hopeful
I absolutely cannot believe you all would demand some kind of standard for politicians and elected officials. It's baffling to me. Don't you see who's in the White House? Isn't having somebody who talks well in TV good enough for you?
sometimes I feel like I'm living in a crazy house because I have zero principles and absolutely don't care about what politicians do other than make me feel good when they go on TV

It's mystifying how we have people uncritically gas him up in the same thread as tweets like these. He helped create the conditions in which covid19 becomes more harmful and judging by that budget, is continuing to make those conditions worse.
Stop falling in love with your politicians. Hold them accountable.
In what sense is he acting like a good leader? Even during this crisis he is still looking to cut health funding and was super late to act on what needed to be done.
As an independent, I actually kinda like him. I admit I know nothing about his past, but he has shown leadership these last few weeks. I like that he actually just seems like a normal guy. I'd probably vote for him. I'm not voting Biden.
Better at being on TV
EDIT: Cuomo is a big part why public hospitals in the state haven't been stockpiling supplies in the case of some shit like this happening
Truth. Cuomo fucked up badly and inexcusably in this. Other governors didn't.
Y'all cancelled Gillum faster than rabbits fuck for having drugs and a male escort, but Cuomo can fight against LGBT rights, Medicaid, and used "shucking and jiving" against the first black President and get away with it because he's on TV discussing a pandemic he helped exacerbate in his home state?
lol this nigga just cut Medicaid and rolled back the very modest bail reform laws. This y'all king!?
Man sometimes this community is just so disconnected from reality. Given the circumstances I didn't think that an ... Andrew Cuomo hate thread would be the topic du jour, when you have about 45 other governor's handling this crisis much worse than him and he's handling it among the best in the country.
Outside of this I have no opinion on him because he's not my governor, I've never thought about him, but given that my state borders new York I'm glad he's taking it more seriously than about 80% of other governors in the country. His press conferences are generally the most informative, fact-based, accurate, and regular statements made by public officials in the US on the outbreak. Currently there is a vacuum of truth coming from Washington on this, woth Trump hosting spastic, self-congratulatory, bizarre press conferences with the My Pillow guy and probably Papa John next. It's a tremendous relief that there are elected officials who are putting science and facts first. Other governors have also done an admirable job, Inslee, Baker, some others, but the list is not long.
But the bubble is so crazy in this community sometimes. Also, im not "making Cuomo happen" and nobody else is. If Cuomo is carving out a national future in politics it's because he's doing an admirable job when so few others are.

Two days after he said he wouldn't do shelter in place, he enacted a rule that was basically that, he just said he wasn't going to call it "shelter in place" because he thought that's too associated with Nuclear attacks and mass shootings. That seems to be an issue with semantics more than anything. Is that wrong?
I mean you should read up on him before saying you'd vote for him lol
"I have no opinion on Cuomo and have no idea of his policies and actions as governor but I really gotta tell you guys that you all live in a bubble"
you can't be real dude
Someone cutting billions of dollars in healthcare during a healthcare pandemic is not doing an admirable job.
I mean dismiss criticisms with this community being a bubble all you want, his austerity policies have hurt the state a lot and he wants to make it worse.
Do you think it makes you well informed that you admit you are not knowledgeable of the critiques people have, yet make broad characterizations of people who do as "living in a bubble"
Imagine telling other people they live in a bubble and you just said you don't even know wtf they talking about lmaoo
I think posting her full name will be kinder to your post history in this context.
;-)
That's a good point -- Cuomo is not my governor so almost my entire opinion about him has been shaped by the last 3 weeks of his press conferences, where the majority of governors have failed to take positive action on this outbreak and Cuomo is generally considered to be among the best. So to me it's just so surprising to have a hate thread in Cuomo given the circumstances. But then again "I'm not trying to make andrew Cuomo happen" either, I'll likely never vote for him in any election because I don't live in New York. There just seems to be this tendency here where if any politician is doing anything admirable, unless they are a tiny handful of congress people, that they deserve to be villified. The timing of this one, when you have other governors telling people to go out to their local restaurants or suggesting coronavirus is a hoax, just seems so bizarre
NY is in danger of getting a Republican governor? 🤔
"Yes, Democrats, yes. Tear down your own. Saves us the trouble..."
Forgive me for holding politicians accountable especially when their policies and actions end up costing lives in the midst of a global pandemic. I'll be a better team player.
"Yes, Democrats, yes. Tear down your own. Saves us the trouble..."
We can make threads about multiple things. There's not a limit. It's two pages long and likely won't be very long when it dies.
We have the mental bandwidth to talk about things that aren't only the worst of the worst or best of the best. The assumption is the people reading threads do, too.
