    Meanwhile the Cuomo was on the news every night talking about the need to balance human lives with “The Economy” and as soon as democrats were in power, they ended covid measures and testing.

    Prioritizing short-term profits over human lives was a bipartisan effort.

    Edit: NYC Governor Cuomo, not that he and DeBlasio weren’t competing to show how much they were doing to balance safety and the economy.

        Bipartisan. A casual google news search for 2020 shows Cuomo talking about how awful it was that Trump was reopening the economy in May, and how we need to open the economy in April.

        But he was also on CNN nearly every night, saying we need to get back to work and reopen as soon as possible, but in a good way, unlike Trump who wants to do the same thing, but in a bad way.

          Honestly they were all correct if we simply:

          A) Got enough masks

          B) Got people to properly wear the fucking things

          Cute. You edited your post to change it from the Mayor of New York to Cuomo and took out the part implying this was only the thing that Democrats were saying and then responded to my post with this innocent “it was bipartisan!” thing.

            Yes, I confused the mayor and governor in the original post. The bipartisan line was original though.

            Why are you so aggressive?

              There is nothing aggressive in pointing out your dishonesty.

              You’re still being dishonest by ignoring the part about how you got rid of the implication that it was just Democrats doing this.

                There was no implication that just democrats do it, hence why I said “bipartisan” instead of “just democrats do this”.

                Accusing someone of dishonesty instead of rereading what they posted is aggressive. Maybe chill out a bit.

                  Yes, you said ‘bipartisan’ after you edited your post which originally suggested it was not bipartisan. So now you’re being dishonest about the chain of events.

                  Also, I did read what you posted, which I responded to. You edited to the post to make it as if I wasn’t responding to what you said, which was dishonest. Don’t be dishonest and you won’t be called dishonest.

                    No, the original one had bipartisan, I wouldn’t post something I didn’t believe. You must have missed it.

                    It feels ridiculous to be accused of not thinking the republicans didn’t side with capital, against the working class.

                  The dishonesty is listing a single person (the wrong person at first, I might add) and claiming “bipartisan.”

                  We all know that’s bullshit so just stop.

                  Did any Democrats do anything shitty during the pandemic? I’m sure. But please stop implying there is any sort of equivalency there.

        Did you miss the democrats declaring covid is over for real this time, not like when Trump said it, stop wearing masks and ending testing and other protections shortly after they got into power?
