by a deep hatred of Andrew Cuomo. It makes for good political theater.

OP
I am not too crazy about personal qualities of either Adams or Cuomo, but there is a prohibition on DU

He is a centrist, he is running as an independent, and he is a Democrat

Sorry to disappoint you. He gave up on the democratic party and is now an independent.

He did not. He lost the primary, as some Democrats occasionally do, but he remains a Democrat.

If you think he's still a Democrat, you go with that. Do you think Cuomo is a better choice than Zohran Mamdani?

That's why he has an I by his name on the ballot, because you say he's a democratic politician. Okay

Again, very few Democrats say he is not a Democrat. What I say is immaterial to this fact.

That's fine. But I can find no confirmation of him leaving the Party anywhere.

Not difficult at all. It is just as easy to find his party affiliation. A Democrat, according to all available sources.

I am not disputing that. But he is still a Democrat. Not such a difficult distinction.

The consequence of losing a primary is losing a primary, not losing party affiliation.

Find me a single official record that says Cuomo is not a Democrat, and then we can talk some more.

I wouldn't consider phrases like "fair game" to be constructive, or criticism, for that matter.

By continuing to run after the Democratic voters rejected him, Cuomo has disgraced himself and his father's memory

Cuomo isn't a "centrist" - he's a sexual harasser collaborating with the rapist Trump.

Cuomo is, and Adams was (and is now supporting) an 'independent/third-party "spoiler" candidate'

There is a fine line between supporting a third party candidate and objecting to bashing a Democrat.

Adams (who was, BTW, a Rethug at one point) is not running against anyone, he dropped out

If I see bashing or 'RW hysteria' around here, I'll be sure to take note of it.

Any negative comments about any Democrat are fodder for right wing media.

As you know full well, Sanders doesn't run against Democrats in general elections

Cuomo is a pervert that got ran out of office, why are you defending him?

It is DU administrators who tell members what is acceptable. They have every right to do so.

He may well be, but that's irrelevant, as Cuomo lost the Democratic primary and is now running as sore loser/

As a spoiler candidate, he cannot be supported. As a Democrat he cannot be bashed.

No, you still don't get it. He is running against the only official Democrat - therefore he is not a Democrat

The calculus for the endorsement most likely has to do with NYC's uniformed services.
