New York State Democratic Party Charman Jay Jacobs is refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani for Mayor- The New York Times.
Note that this is after Governor Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdami.
A party purge, preferably one with slightly less violence, but equal enthusiasm to those conducted by Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili is in order.
This sort of timid self-serving bullsh%$ is why Trump is doing his damnedest to implement fascism from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue right now.
The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.
The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.
Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.
Quit, baby, quit!
………
Christine Quinn, a former City Council speaker who serves as a top state party official under Mr. Jacobs, called his choice a “surprise.”
“It’s hard to have a person hold this perch where they are asking other people to stand with the party when they are not willing to stand with the party themselves,” Ms. Quinn said.
Silly rabbit, don't you know that "Vote Blue no matter who." only applies to progressives?
I wonder why he is such a turd?
………
Mr. Jacobs, who runs summer camps as his day job, was appointed to lead the party by Mr. Cuomo. He stayed on in the role after the former governor’s resignation in 2021, becoming a loyal adviser to Ms. Hochul.
A Cuomo appointee? That explans a lot.
