    Any time someone whines about cAnCeL CulTuRe RuN AmOk all I hear is “I’m incredibly angry that I faced consequences for my actions.”

    No dude, it wasn’t cancel culture on steroids. You sexually harassed eleven women and only managed to avoid criminal charges due to statutory limitations of New York law. Kindly go fuck yourself.

    Huh. For some reason, I don’t see anyone defending this scumbag despite the (D) next to his name. What a refreshing change from watching Republicans protect the absolutely disgusting assholes in their midsts.

      I was ready to pretend he didn’t exist before all the “allegations” and then he just vanished. And then we had legal weed.

    Cancel Culture

    Is the brain dead obvious result of being told to vote with our wallets for the last 70 years.

    This isn’t Cancel Culture. This is an abuser getting just a tiny fraction of what they actually deserve.

    Criminals loosing their jobs over their crimes is fair. You can call it cancel culture, but that means cancel culture is fair, too.

    He should say he’s a Republican now because Republicans LOVE defending Sexual Deviants!

    As far as I knew, everybody hated him. He was already a self aggrandizing corrupt piece of shit. He was basically the Democrat even saten island could vote for.

      Yup, we only had him because enough people didn’t vote against him in primary elections. He was a pos and I’m still surprised how well he handled the pandemic (before someone goes on about nursing homes I said how well, as in relative to both my expectations and how horribly red states handled it. I didn’t say he did the best job ever).

        I knew things were going sideways when the “liberal media” was fellating him during early Covid in spite of some obvious cracks in the narrative. It was mostly because of his corporate bona fides and because, yeah, the red state circle jerk.

    Why don’t they ever blame themselves and take responsibility for their actions like an adult is beyond me.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Andrew Cuomo, the former Democratic governor of New York, blamed cancel culture for the media and political frenzy that erupted following allegations of sexual harassment.

    Cuomo appeared alongside Melissa DeRosa, his former chief of staff and author of What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics and Crisis, on Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher.

    During their conversation, the host brought up the investigation into allegations against the former governor, which he has denied, that forced him to resign in 2021.

    (tldr: 1 sentences skipped)

    But he did go on to lecture Cuomo for not understanding that “the kids don’t want to be touched,” adding, “I mean, private, personal space is just different to different generations.”

    Cuomo emphasized that he “got the memo,” but that “it can be carried to an absurd extent” due to the media and politics escalating it, specifically calling out The New York Times.

    (tldr: 2 sentences skipped)

    The former governor proceeded to explain what he found to be the most “chilling” was “the cancel culture on steroids at the highest level, with the justice department.” He claimed that people were running with the headlines without reading the actual investigation report.

    (tldr: 9 sentences skipped)


    The original article contains 404 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 50%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    The woman pitching that book on there that seems to postulate some kind of conspiracy to take down Cuomo - I just don’t get it. Do others understand that line of thinking at all? What powerful interests would want Cuomo dethroned and why?

    Amazing that they got him on this. They should have gotten him on sending sick elderly woth covid back into group homes and facilities thus killing tens of thousands of elderly. But then there would be a bunch of other democrats that would have to have been taken iut because of the same things he did
