Of course it matters, the problem is Cuomo is putting his experience and acumen towards goals that will hurt NY and NYC for years to come.
Not this weekend now.
I'd say the bar for Dem Governors should be much higher than literal hell but I guess not.
I mean I feel like in the midst of budget agreements that are gonna hurt the state in big ways bringing up that the alternative candidate was gonna do the opposite is worth ruminating on. But ya know lol, billions of cuts to Medicaid, increased pretrial detention, no legal marijuana, no increased school funding and restricting democratic movements aren't big deals. It's not like these decisions are gonna fuck over the state and its people long after Cuomo is gone.
I mean, I'm not going to defend Cuomo here. I don't know what he's playing at....but again, rolling the dice is what a lot of people thought was good with Trump, and look where that got us. Am I saying Nixon would have been Leftist Trump or whatever? No. But we shouldn't be rolling the dice with chief executives. If Nixon wanted to do something in politics, she could have run (successfully) for anything else. Instead, she went for something she was wholly unqualified for and lost huge.
Yeah it was dumb of her to go straight to running for Governor of NY, agreed. I'm not arguing that Nixon was a political mastermind that got cheated or anything, but at the end of the day I would much rather have her be in charge because she wasn't pushing policy that has made pandemics even worse during a pandemic!

It's accurately pegged your reading level based on past purchases?
Ah yes, the old "our hospitals aren't overwhelmed yet so let me do my part to get them there" strategy. Now that's leadership.

Longmont mayor defends slamming stay-at-home order and coronavirus comments
The mayor of Longmont is getting backlash from local business owners after he slammed the governor's stay-at-home policy during a virtual City Council meeting, where he said he wanted "somebody to come over and spit in my mouth."
LONGMONT — The mayor of Longmont is getting backlash from local business owners after he slammed the governor's stay-at-home policy during a virtual City Council meeting, and said he wanted "somebody to come over and spit in my mouth."The goal of the March 25 meeting was to address local coronavirus fears and issues. Boulder County Public Health Executive Director Jeff Zayach also phoned in on the meeting to explain data, policies and answer questions for city council members.Julie Benoit and Luc Nadeau, who are both business owners in Longmont, said the video of the conference is circulating in the community.They said Mayor Brian Bagley's comments left them reeling, but this comment stuck out: "I want somebody to come over and spit in my mouth so I can go to the hospital now cause I'm not going to die," the mayor said.Nadeau said it felt like the mayor was sending the wrong message to young people — that they don't have to take the outbreak seriously; they won't go to the hospital; they won't die."I just felt that it was a disregard for an elderly neighbor, a grandparent, a compromised child or adult," Benoit said.The mayor defended himself on Monday."First of all, I was speaking with emotion and sarcasm, obviously I don't want someone to come over and spit in my mouth," Bagley said. "What I meant was there is rooms in the hospital. I would rather get sick now than later."

Yup, it would be a rally cry for Repubs and invigorate their base. It needs to wait till after the election at the very least.
