Potluck Club, Win Son, Domodomo all a short walk! That’s a range of fanciness/ability to get a table & all very good.

What do you make of the people who called for Cuomo to resign in 2021 after the harassment report and then went on to endorse him for mayor four years later? It’s small and it’s cowardly. Look, I understand that he has an ability to intimidate people. I understand that when they hear Their Master’s Voice, they jump. A lot of people just can’t psychologically figure out how to stand up to this guy. They have flashbacks and they think he’s going to win and they don’t want to have him go against them. I think a lot of mainstream politicians act out of fear. They want to survive, they want to get reelected. They don’t want to have too much conflict in their life, and so the easy thing to do is to give in to him. But it’s not in the interest of their constituents, and they will regret it one day because he turns against pretty much anyone who was his ally. I mean, that’s been a pretty established pattern. I don’t understand how a human being could call for his resignation and somehow forget about it. Or, as in the case of Senator Gillibrand, call out sexual harassment and then suddenly go neutral on what Andrew Cuomo did. I think a lot of voters look at that and realize there’s something profoundly wrong if leaders cannot stay consistent with their own previously moral stances.
