yeah where was this energy when it was Cuomo trying to keep Mamdani down?

It's that simple. Voters don't actually care, it's just another weapon for the establishment to use against outsider candidates.

They'll prop up a thousand Bidens and Cuomos and Weiners and Swallwells for years because the establishment doesn't actually care either. They'll disappear Al Franken when all they have is a pic of him doing hover hands over a plate carrier so they could repeal Dodd-Frank or Eric Massa for tickling a male staffer so they can pass Obamacare instead of single-payer.

If you're challenging the establishment in any way, you just have to be Mr. Rogers tier squeaky clean.
