This is always a complicated subject for me. I have never been a member of a political party. I don't have any love lost for any of them, but the Republicans, especially in the past five years, have become the human embodiment of evil. I say that without exaggeration.
They also, for longer than the past five years, have used the most diabolical and most disgusting political tricks imaginable to subvert democracy and destroy the country. Democrats have almost always opted to take "the high road". Either because they worry about eventual retribution or because they fear for their immortal souls, they tend not to be as awful to Republicans as Republicans tend to be toward all people.
People like PoliTalker annoy me to tears. "We need to work together. We need unity. We're all brothers and sisters. We can pull through this and live in peace and harmony where everything is fair and just and perfect if he just hug each other and trust each other." Barf. The American political system is broken beyond repair. Our experiment failed. We're just waiting for whatever's going to happen next while we all beef up our hate for each other.
Cuomo did those things to those women though. If not all of them, then at least some of them. You would rather have that kind of person lead a state and represent its people than a Republican? Is the (D) next to the person's name really the most important qualifier for holding office. A Republican would certainly do worse than Cuomo, but Cuomo doesn't deserve the position. Accountability matters; and if he wanted to keep his decades long stranglehold on New York politics, he should have kept his hands to himself. He knew he was powerful and thought he could get away with whatever he wanted. That should sound familiar.
I agree that Democrats need to wisen up and implant some balls into their empty sacs. I also think that Cuomo's a creep who doesn't deserve the protection of anyone.
