Clinton’s Endorsement of Cuomo Is Grotesque but Predictable (jacobin.com)

Bill Clinton’s last-minute endorsement of Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race is all too fitting: both men represent the corporate Democratic establishment, opposed by socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, that has abandoned the working class.

I know the libs still love war criminals like Obama because at least he's not a creepy old pervert. So, his endorsement would definitely be useful.

But, who is this for? I feel like anyone that still respects the Clintons was likely already ranking Cuomo above Zohran.

I'm not from New York and I'm under the age of 65. So maybe I'm out of touch. I just don't know who gets swayed by an old sex pervert endorsing another old sex pervert.

They're still generations of democrats for whom Clinton is royalty. It's fucking embarrassing. It's sad. But it's true.

For sure. I guess results tonight make things mute. Yay! But I guess my point was that the ven diagram of people that both think Clinton is royalty AND think Zohran is a scary Muslim they'd never vote for is a circle.
