IW: Anyone willing to chip in for the “Don’t blame me , I voted Green Party” bumper stickers.
1. Andrew Cuomo, New York. I know, I know, he just passed marriage equality, right? Well, hes taking a bit too much credit for that, since the Republican-dominated state legislature wound up bringing up and passing the bill simply because it was actually really popular right now to do so in New York. Meanwhile, Cuomos refused to keep the popular “millionaires tax” and cut a third of homeless youth shelter beds instead. Cuomo too has made enemies within organized labor, freezing workers salaries and calling for cutbacks, mounting a political campaign even after taking office aimed at demonizing labor.And this is the leading Democrat being discussed as a presidential candidate for 2016?
