Comments by "Harry Stoddard" (@HarryS77) on "BREAKING: Governor Andrew Cuomo Resigns" video.

Or not letting an estimated 17k people needlessly die during the pandemic.

@intuitionz1198 Then you must not be paying attention. When De Blasio wanted to effect a stay-at-home order, Cuomo said, "It cannot happen legally. No city in the state can quarantine itself without state approval and I have no interest whatsoever and no plan whatsoever to quarantine any city." A study, "Differential Effects of Intervention Timing on Covid-19 Spread in the United States," found that: "In the New York metropolitan area, the epicenter of COVID-19 in the US, 209,987 (183,607–223,199) [80.0% (70.0%-85.0%)] confirmed cases and 17,514 (15,293–18,878) [80.3% (70.2%-86.6%)] deaths would have been avoided if the same sequence of interventions had been applied one week earlier (Fig. 2c-d)." As for the numerous (what is it, 11?) allegations of sexual harassment, some of which ARE ON VIDEO, they were credible enough for the NY AG.

@undergroundman1993 Never? Because it gets talked about a lot. And he didn't try. He did cut it. He also cut thousands of hospital beds.

@thunderpooch Kathy Hochul is a Democrat, so it's not clear how this is "neutering" (perhaps what Cuomo deserves) the party, as if that mattered anyway or takes precedent over justice for these women and the right to not be harassed at work. Moreover, the AG conducted a thorough investigation, based on which NY state Democrats seemed poised to impeach Cuomo out of office. So what are you complaining about? Maybe you're just another neolib who wishes the Democrats were more thuggish and conservative...traits Cuomo long displayed.

@intuitionz1198 Maybe no liberals wanted to believe, but leftists have known about Cuomo's many issues for a long time. When his history of harassment was brought up very publicly, liberals and the press (including Cuomo's kid brother) swept in to neutralize it. Of course women don't want to come forward if that's the result. Who would? Only when Cuomo became a liability, after it was revealed that his administration covered up nursing home deaths (Cuomo having ordered people into them) and he threatened an official for exposing it, was it possible to criticize a man Democrats had spent the better part of a year shamelessly glorifying. But your deflection is just another common tactic apologists for power love to deploy. If this was such a big problem, why didn't it come up sooner? Oh it did come up? Then why did no one take it seriously? If these women were really harassed, why did they continue to meet with or work for Cuomo? They must have wanted it, or they're lying, or they're doing it for attention. These are precisely the things people said in defense of Cosby and Kavanaugh and Biden. And they're deflections which have nothing to do with the reality of sexual harassment and assault, especially when it comes from someone who wields enormous power and influence. After interviewing 179 people and reviewing 70,000 pieces of evidence, the NY AG found that Cuomo had in fact credibly harassed 11 women and facilitated a sexist environment. Maybe you know something the AG doesn't.

@intuitionz1198 It's amazing (but not surprising at all) to hear Democrats parroting conservative justifications for serial and long-known harassers.

@intuitionz1198 You said you'd never heard anything to implicate Cuomo in thousands of covid deaths. But that information can be found in like 2 seconds. Where's your credibility? What's the time limit for "not easily fooled"? Lmfao You said you'd heard nothing credible about him harassing anyone...yet you also admit you know nothing about the other 10 accusations. Sounds like what I'd expect from a critical thinker with an open mind who examines all the evidence and questions everything. Yeah, I'm the politically nasty one. Not you, the apologist for a Republican-lite serial sexual harasser who let 17k people die so he could look tough and responsible to his donors.

@intuitionz1198 Not right wing in the slightest. It's impossible to see how you came to that conclusion given my comments. Was it when I criticized him for acting like a conservative? When I criticized him for cutting Medicare? I already provided a citation for Cuomo's refusal to issue a quarantine and a study which looked at deaths that could've been avoided had quarantine been put in place even a week earlier. Cuomo's mishandling of covid has been widely reported in AP, NYT, Reuters, WSJ, The Nation. I would suggest that before lecturing others to use critical thinking, YOU do it and actually look at the evidence before coming to a conclusion, not assume that your ignorance is evidence.

You're just a fredophobe.

@intuitionz1198 The really nice thing is that you don't have to believe me, personally. You can look at the record, at studies, and so on. You can look at the evidence IN TOTALITY, not the one thing that trips your malfunctioning bs detector enough to prevent you from doing further (or, apparently, any) research. All the jaqing off in the world isn't going to legitimate your opinion, except to cranks, like the conservative, misogynistic friend you made. "The timing is fishy" btw is exactly the phrase Republicans used during the Kavanaugh hearing—anything you people can do to deflect. Again, your own ignorance isn't evidence.

@thunderpooch Being harassed is a "sexual hangup"? Crawl back into your cave.

@intuitionz1198 I'm so embarrassed by...uh...knowing things. Someone please save me from this embarrassment!

@intuitionz1198 "I have yet to hear any remotely credible about him killing anyone or sexually harassing anyone." "It takes nothing but to listen to the evidence and that's what I did." "That being said I can't speak to the rest of the women because I haven't heard anything" 🤡🤡
