They went out the window with Andrew Cuomo.

Moira Donegan writes in The Guardian: “They respond to polling and to a vague sense of the cultural zeitgeist, aiming less to persuade than to imitate. Often, Democrats seem as if they are not offering a different policy vision for the country so much as they are offering a different stylistic one: the same austerity, cultural revanchism and inequality but in a more polite package.”

Sen. Murphy reminds us that

“Netanyahu’s strikes against Iran began the day his government was up for a no confidence vote in the Knesset. His hardline stances on Iran and Gaza appear to be dictated more by what keeps him in power as Prime Minister than the long-term security interests of his country. And he certainly is not making decisions based upon what is right for American national security.“

Why has this monster been able to buy the entire Republican Party as well as far too many Democrats?

This their ridiculous, outlandish demands that public institutions be named after him, that a place be cleared on Mt. Rushmore for his degraded visage, et. al., et. al.

Not one of these Republicans must ever be allowed to live down their idol worship and attempted overthrow of our democracy.

Trump is the dummy.

Bibi/AIPAC are the string-pullers.

The Republican Party are the shock troops of lockstep compliance.

First the New York State Senator tried the appeasement argument, saying that Mamdani might make Trump mad so we all needed to keep our heads down–tell that to the ghost of Neville Chamberlain. At one point, she realized she was inching up to a racist/religious-intolerant vector, so she pivoted to praise Cuomo’s pugilism. Yes, he may be better in a knife fight, but who do we think he will fighting for?

Cuomo is the billionaire’s millionaire. No wonder so many Trump supporters are contributing to his campaign.

“Who would have dreamed that American culture would fall to its knees?” a writer around my age said to me recently.

We must demand the ouster of genocidal, war-mongering criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

At Common Dreams, Ralph Nader reminds us that “The war declaration power is EXCLUSIVELY exercised by Congress (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1). The Founders most adamantly rejected the idea of a king plunging the nation into wars.”

Michael Bloomberg has contributed over 8 million dollars to Cuomo’s campaign.
