Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Other than the one Gillen the rest are nothing comments. No one says they won't back him besides that. And rich people are going to back anyone who will let them keep their largesse. They donated to Democrats because they know a Republican isn't going to win in NYC.
This is a pretty BS article that is painting things that aren't really there. At least not to any great extent.
Ok now go look at what the donors are saying.
I'll concede some of it now.
But you understand "donors" are just rich fucks. Until the NYC/NY Democrat party says "don't vote for him" then it's really irrelevant.
That said, Hochul, Gillen, etc. can't do the simplest gd thing like most other Democrats. No one says you have to endorse. I doubt AOC would "endorse" Connor Lamb if he won the PA primary. But a pithy "The people have spoken who they want their rep to be and I hope the Democratic candidate wins in November."
It's amazing how anyone center to left can find so much time to dither and argue amongst themselves instead of realizing the bigger picture which is to win power and do good things with it. JFC.
Almost as if people have contradicting ideas about what 'good things' need doing.
Lmao, idk I don't really think there's anything "just" about being a billionare political donor
