l will never, never vote for a Democrat after this current disaster in our country.
Amazing when Democrats start to have scandals of their own they still need to make things about Trump....
I don't know if Trump is the most evil person in the world. I haven't met them all. But we had to endure Trump's 'American Carnage' inaugural address followed by 1460 days of non-stop Big Lie. He acted more like a thug from the MAFIA than a President. But one thing I'll say about Donald trump, he made Spiro Agnew look good.
Well, I just saw on CNN that Governor Cuomo has resigned.
why were you expecting anything better from them? i sure wasn't. they have lived down to my expectations time and time again.You know what is the most frustrating and gloomiest things about Trump presidency ? it’s not Trump or his provocative language or character or even his policy. The saddest things about past 5 years is how evangelical Christians supported him and stick with him past five years and till today they are with him.
Yep. Probably a good move on his part at this point.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigns over sexual harassment (msn.com)

One glaring difference between Cuomo and trump. Cuomo recognized he is detrimental to the party and country and had the humility to resign! Trump is still screaming somewhere about how life is so unfair to him.

Problem with trump and his supporter is that they live in “alternative reality” .
I wouldn't attribute any sort of humility to him...
^that^ is probably more like it. Nobody was willing to believe Cuomo's lies. A bunch of affluent, well-educated Dem-voting wokesters are much less likely to buy the sort of nakedly dishonest, self-serving garbage that Trump peddles to his uncritical fanbase. The current Democratic coalition doesn't appear to have the inclinations towards developing a cult of personality the way Republicans have for Trump. Obama was the only one who came anywhere close to that, and it wasn't close.
Isn’t it interesting to see “ tree hugging socialist lefty , gay loving homosexual , latte drinking china loving not- real-American, America hater liberal elite” don’t tolerate sexual immorality while “ Jesus loving born again Christian” thinks “12 time sexual accuser”, aka “grabbing by ……” the protector of Christianity.

The difference between Cuomo and Trump is that when the report came out about Cuomo, his fellow party member and leader quickly condemned him, including President, Speaker of the house and most of NY democrat and asked him to resigned. On the other hand in Trump case, so called evangelical who claim to be Christian, always chant about “ family value” embraced Trump and voted to elect trump Twice. And even today they can’t get enough of Trump.
Yep... Some of the podcasts I listen to have recently been circling around the notion that contemporary American evangelicalism tends to foster an affinity for narcissists. Part of this is the movement's history of glorifying celebrity culture (in the context of celebrity pastors), part of it is the sermon-centric structure of Sunday church services, part of it is our individualism and lack of denominational oversight over individual churches, and part of it is the incentives towards rapid numerical growth.
As such, it shouldn't be too surprising that a group of folks who are used to sitting in a chair and having a single, overly-confident, virtually-unaccountable voice tell them how to think and act every week were accepting of the same sort of thing coming from a politician.
OTOH, while there are certainly plenty of narcissists on the left, I'm struggling to think of any institutions on the left that overtly conditions folks to excuse that behavior and elevate those narcissists to positions of power and authority.
Don't confuse authoritarianism and narcissism. Narcissism is a broader feature of American society in general. The Woodstock generation and the advent of "self-esteem" pop psychology (which was actually the rebranding of Randian pseudophilosophy) account for that.
Except Cuomo is going to survive politically.
