It’s surprising to me how often high profile Democrats, who really should know better, make racially stereotyped comments like this.
Not surprising at all if you’re familiar with the state. I’ve got family from NYC who are very staunch Democrats and extremely racist.
Remember that Donny from Queens was a staunch Democrat all through the 80s and 90s.
Donnie was only a “staunch” Democrat because he was playing to the local crowd. Was he ever a true Democrat? Did he ever care about any of the traditional issues? No chance.
Like Bloomberg they’re just Dem to fit in and not be ostracized. All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.
Donnie was only a “staunch” Democrat because he was playing to the local crowd.
He was playing to a national crowd.
And Bloomberg is another great example (abet in the other direction). He was hosting Bush 43 at the Republican National Convention in 2004 and now he’s a Dem mega donor.
All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.
They’re all Business Conservative. And they’ve all got their investments in the various parties like casino magnets in Vegas working the crowds on the Strip.
Different pastiche, but its all the same bullshit games and prizes once you get through the door.
There’s no better example of why the dem party needs to get money out of primaries than NY “Dems”.
If they could win elections as Republicans they’d be running as Republicans.
And honest candidates can’t compete against millions of dollars spent in primaries.
The party doesn’t care. Because all they care about is donations.
But we don’t need all those corporate/dirty donations if we run candidates we actually like.
