you just compared anger toward perpetuators of genocide to not getting one’s desired flavor of birthday cake and you’re deeming people psychotic for abandoning nuance?

Cuomo has nothing in the plus column. It was 10 years of empowering Republicans, corruption, austerity cuts to schools and health, starving the subways, casual racism, sexual harassment and ego-fed toxic management. A city that brings back Cuomo is a city that's lost every shred of its self-respect.
