Is Andrew Cuomo the least popular politician on Atlas?

[Fuzzy Bear]

Donald Trump, Woodrow Wilson, Bob Menendez, Don Blankensh**t, and Tulsi Gabbard are more hated than Cuomo.

They all have some supporters. No one likes Cuomo.

This.

If Cuomo were nominated in 2020, the red avatars (and a number of others here) would vote for him and might even sing his praises.  But at this point, he's like an enema, or Castor Oil; possibly good for you, but hard to take.

You guys are missing the point.

All the other unpopular politicians being mentioned have vocal supporters here, even if they're in the minority. No one likes Cuomo at all (except Torie apparently.) There's no way you can compare Trump or Tulsi Gabbard or the Clintons to Cuomo in terms of universal hatred.

The fact that this forum denies what an incredible achievement it would be for Democrats to put a name ending in a vowel on the top of the presidential ballot shows exactly how deep prejudice against Italian Americans runs in this country. It's a national disgrace. Some people just can't accept progress.

Look at what they did to Chris Christie for having a Sicilian mother. And no one is talking about it.

I thought you hated Coumo?

I guess I'm on ignore? Glad to finally agree with Torie on a politician.

“Obama”, “Kerry”, “Gore”...

Uh, who cares? Politically Cuomo is f[inks]ing terrible. Something you've agreed with many times.

[PragmaticPopulist]

It's not so much his positions that bother me as much as his ethics. While I think it's a good thing that he looks out for upstate New York, there are questions if he's just an opportunist.

[Kingpoleon]

William Jefferson Clinton.

And for good reason!

As they say, "all politics is local." Having said that, Cuomo's speech handing out the dough was rather odd at our glorious renovated Hudson Opera House (where this image was taken), including a weird comment that the runner ups to Hudson would get some money too as a consolation prize, which turned out to be jive. Anyway, the fight as to how to use the money, has turned into a blood sport in Hudson. The spectacle kind of reminds me of the Atlas Forum sometimes.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Hudson

I knew it was coming

Hudson

Are you hankering for an image of the Clintons eating burgers at our local diner? All the top politicians in NY love Hudson. I think I can find one of Schumer as well down at our waterfront, and Gillibrand used to live just outside the city limits. It's got the vibe.

[TDAS04]

William Jefferson Clinton.

His wife is much more disgustingly hated by Atlas.

Hillary is hated on Atlas? Now that's something new.

Have you looked at the results of the numerous "Opinion of Hillary Clinton" polls?  She's not exactly loved.

Though Bill might be more hated.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

Cuomo is really hated, here, yeah. Though the weirdest target is Cory Booker. He’s an inoffensive fairly liberal and charismatic Democrat and yet everyone here seems to hate him and think he’s the devil and unelectable.

I'm a bit surprised you like Cuomo. I hadn't pegged you as the woke moderate liberal type. Cuomo has made it abundantly clear that religious conservatives like myself are completely unwanted in whatever jurisdiction he's the leader of--he's more or less straight up said as much--something that may be forgivable in a bomb-throwing gadfly but certainly not in a professional, serious person type of politician. He has not, to my knowledge, apologized. Cuomo? No thanks.

Blanche Lincoln? Hillary Clinton? Bruce Braley?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Blanche Lincoln? Hillary Clinton? Bruce Braley?

Once again, all of those have people who like them. And trying to argue that Hillary is more hated than Cuomo on this forum is downright absurd.

I don't particularly associate Cuomo with wokeness at all. Of course I'm displeased that he would attend an event as disgraceful as pride. Of course I'm displeased with his living arrangement with Sandra. Abortion has dropped significantly on the list of issues I felt passionately about so old statements don't have the same sting. (And I'm still not totally over how he backstabbed Hikind.)

But his actions as an elected official giving a voice to the most important parts of the state speak much louder. He's a great representative of the interests of the financial industry and ensures the Islanders get heard and receive more than enough respect. His opponents all desire to destroy both groups by oppressing and overwhelming them with the deep blue statewide majority. In that sense, I couldn't be more pleased. On the places where I am not completely satisfied, could I expect any differently from any other governor across the US? I have a hard time believing that in 2018.

How on Earth are people seriously arguing for Hillary Clinton? She has more fans in this thread alone than Cuomo ever had in all of Atlas and AAD.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Any "movement conservative".  I can only think of a few people here who are fans of people like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Matt Bevin, Rick Santorum, etc.

Don't lump Santorum in with those crazy sociopaths.

He sure is now!

[Never Made it to Graceland]

It's really disturbing how people have nothing better to do than disparage an obvious top three governor in the country who spends so much time as an advocate for the ALL of the people in his state, but the edgy left has proven time and time again that they really do have nothing better to do except troll caucuses to vote for the obviously senile Bernie Sanders (no different from a Ron Paul vote) and make life significantly harder for poor people to score points on bad-faith arguments just to prove how much more progressive they are than the community organizers and party officials actually engaging in political activism. I would love for him to be the next president of the United States, and it would give me an enormous sense of pride and hope.

Yes, very embarrassing for me to call him a top 3 governor instead of the best governor. What was I thinking back then!

Is it sad that I first knew of Andrew Cuomo (and most politicians for that matter) through Atlas and I for a while questioned why Atlas hates him? With that said, my opinion of him has gone down with further research and at his core, he's obviously a corporate Democrat who is an opportunist similar to Chuck Schumer rather than a populist social democrat.  

Considering New York City is the largest metropolitan area in the state (as well as the country), and is considered one of the world's great megalopolises, is it any surprise that Democrats in the state are so tightly bound to the largest industry in the Big Apple?  Wouldn't you expect Democrats in the state to be the most Wall Street-friendly compared to their counterparts elsewhere in the country? 

In a world where the elite have a disproportional say in our political system through a corrupt campaign finance system, no, but such system is the thing crippling our politics.

I was so tedious back in 2018.
