66. For me, this is sine qua non.

It's a big tent party, and it has to be to win nationally. We have our differences. No one is perfect either, and running for office as a Democratic politician guarantees that every single imperfection will be put under an electron microscope.

But when a politician refuses to respect the Democratic primary, much less actually runs against the winner, that crosses the last line for me. And anyone who supports that traitorous candidate is no longer a reliable Democratic voter in my opinion.

We certainly see the occasional poster here disparaging progressive voters who, apparently didn't vote for Hillary, Joe, or Kamala. (Personally I don't know any progressive like that.)
Let's see those posters disparage the Cuomo voters for the next few years.
