    Yeah and their work helped expand rent control in a major way not seen in decades in the state. It helped make incredible progress on the issue of abolishing all bail and pre trial detention.

    I was pissed about what happened in the primary too, but their ballot line is absolutely useful at whiping votes for left causes in the state.

      It's not to going to be whipping any votes from me. Overruling your rank and file to nominate Elizabeth fucking Warren? And then trying to cover it up? If I wanted to vote for corrupt PMC's I'd just vote a straight Democratic ticket.

        I'm not arguing for your vote, I'm just trying to say how there's more to this organization than just that one endorsement and they really do help advance left wing causes in ny state.

          I thought it was especially progressive when they broke with the unions and endorsed Cuomo's entire austerity platform in 2010. Wage freezes and property tax caps are big priorities for us leftists

            They endorsed Cythia Nixon in 2018 which was a meaningful move where they bucked unions against Cuomo. They helped a lot of good candidates get elected in recent years that has resulted in some good policy changes.

            I'm not saying they're perfect, or especially great, just that losing their ballot line will only be a bad thing.
