So controlling the New York Senate for most of the last decade while the New York Assembly (equivalent of the U.S. House of Representatives) has remained in Democrat control since 1975 does not amount to even controlling one of the branches.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

My point about Cuomo remains. He betrayed the Democratic party by arranging for a small group of Dems in the NY Senate to defect from their party and caucus with the Republicans. And he did this in order to create a Republican majority in the Senate, in order to ensure any Democrat-leaning legislation that the NY Assembly passed would be blocked. His goal in doing this was primarily to protect his rich donors from having any legislation passed which might raise their taxes in order to help the common people, and secondarily to protect his political career by meaning he didn't have to openly veto such bills.
The whole thing was scummy, and Cuomo is an enemy of progressives and of the Democratic party. He should resign in shame and join the libertarians.
He also sucked at handling Covid."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
