the NY Democratic party's accomplishments over the past twenty years include turning control of the state Senate over to the Republicans despite hegemonic control, failing to gerrymander, turning control of the House of Representatives over to the Republicans, and "leading the resistance to Trump" - ThreadSky

It is wild to think this used to be the main engine of the Democratic machine

If we want to extend this out,
a democratic senator from New York also lost the presidency to a former democratic donor also from New York known for being a corrupt pedophile.

Yeah when people draw those cutesy maps of 'greater Canada' with the blue states included, I don't think NY should be let in

the fact that it’s not viewed as an existential threat to the national party and reforming it is not a priority, and instead they promote people who come out of it, is such an indictment of the entire federal dem apparatus

Meanwhile California national dem accomplishments: slightly less bad than NY Dems!

sporkredfox.bsky.social•99 days ago

Though tbh, Newsom is trying really hard to fuck even that minor accomplishment

I'm incredibly angry.

Okay, but are they better than the Democratic Party of Rhode Island? Astonishingly, no.

mattpb.bsky.social•99 days ago

I'd fucking take a Rhode Island Democrat at this point over these schmucks.

Anyone want to fund me running for Jack Reed's seat?

robbinsa.me•99 days ago

no money over here and even less coming down the pipe but my god if I did

Weirdly, Washington state dems are doing alright. Kinda surprising to me.

It is a massive problem that all the Dem leadership in Congress is from NY. And now Gillibrand is reminding me that she is also lacks the courage we need right now.

AOC is from NY

supastaaarz.bsky.social•99 days ago

But is not an official party leader (even though she should be).

Hakeem Jeffries has been an insane wet noodle over the past few weeks. His statements about Adams's deal with ICE were all about trump and had nothing to say about Adams being on the other end of such a corrupt bargain. Meek work

charles01.bsky.social•99 days ago

and for Hochul to decline to remove Adams is just a tactic agreement that trump gets to make these deals with state and local politicians and it will continue

As a Massachusetts expat living in NY it's shocking how radically inferior the state party is here. And frankly it's on the voters. For NYC Mayor and Governor the electorate seems to be in a constant competition to find the worst possible candidate and then step on that rake as hard as we can.

The NY Democratic Party is trying to bring Cuomo back, the guy who murdered nursing home patients, sexually harassed his staff, and who negotiated the Republicans controlling the state senate with a minority of votes.
