It was shitting on a Democrat that was ridiculously dismissing the man as JUST that. Like when the MAGA try to reduce Harris as just a former girlfriend of Mayor Willie Brown, while dismissing her record post that.

Some may not be aware he was assistant to and Secretary of Hounsing and Urban Development all 8 yrs under Bill Clinton..

Cuomo won the 2010 Democratic primary for governor of New York and won the general election with over 60 percent of the vote. He was re-elected in 2014 and 2018. During his governorship, Cuomo signed legislation to legalize same-sex marriage and the recreational use of cannabis. His administration oversaw the construction of the Second Avenue Subway, the Moynihan Train Hall, and the reconstruction of the Tappan Zee Bridge and LaGuardia Airport.[1][2] He also decommissioned the Indian Point nuclear plant, which led to an uptick in greenhouse gas emissions.[3] In response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the 2012 Webster shooting, Cuomo signed the NY SAFE Act of 2013, the strictest gun control law in the United States. He also delivered Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act; a 2011 tax law that raised taxes for the wealthy and lowered taxes for the middle class; a 12-week paid family leave law; and a gradual increase of the state's minimum wage to $15 per hour.

None of which should be *dismissed* as "just a nepo baby" on Democratic Underground of all places
