Why did so many democrats encourage people in NYC to go to crowded places and use subways

[McBell]

I suppose all people have fallen natures Republican, Democrat, male, female...

State Sen. Brian Kavanagh, D-N.Y.: It's very important that we recognize that this holiday and this festival is of tremendous significance for many communities in our state. And it is very important that we ensure that we don't have misinformation, and many in the media have been covering this issue as if it's, you know, a terrible plague that people have to avoid.

"If you don't go to a crowded public place immediately, you're racist." Look at those people telling you that, demanding that you do that. Hectoring you, badgering you, exerting moral blackmail on you to expose yourself.

If we are going to share stupid **** said by politicians....

And then not accept responsibility for the rapid spread of COVID-19 on the east coast?. Blame Trump, like Blaming Bush is a l game a responsible politician with the interest of the people should not be doing

De Blazio encouraged NYC people to take the subway and go to parades even late February.

De Blasio's coronavirus crisis

Maybe he was listening to what your President was saying about this illness in late February?
After all........ is was just going to go away, wasn't it?

Yes, I see the blame game has already started in the USA, uniquely, among all the countries of the world that are grappling with this problem.

It is where Trump always begins. Whatever the problem, no matter how urgent, or what leadership is called for, Trump always starts with who to blame.

Every other country in the world has set aside its political differences in the face of this challenge. But in the US, it is all about blame, while the epidemic rages.

Lol I agree with you. But I still had to chuckle a little at the fact that I literally had to vote just the other day for our local mayoral elections. Voting here is compulsory (though you can just slip in a blank paper if you want.) The line was longer than usual as social distancing was still in force.

Well, quite good not to be accused of suspending democracy I suppose. Though hard to campaign with conviction at the moment.

True enough. That said I don’t think anyone here gives much of a damn who our local mayor is. Hell most people I talked to about it didn’t even know who the candidates even were lol
Only the parliament vote gets people arguing. Local or state elections are just an excuse to get a free sausage sizzle.

Sausage sizzle cancelled, I presume?

Ye gods! Don’t utter such treasonous concepts! I could only imagine the riots that would occur if that were to become a reality.

no matter who is being responsible for passing misinformation, they have a responsibility to acknowledge they made a mistake and encourage people to please be responsible and to take care of one another. we have the power to change lives for better/worse.

How many Democrats are recommending this? Please list them.

 

[whirlingmerc]

How many Democrats are recommending this? Please list them.

There were recommending... not currently

list included several senators, a mayor of NYC (Di Blazio) and a person high up in the health system. All previously listed with videos of their statements
see Tucker Carlson's report

The right thing to do would be to admit their mistake and move forward
The wrong thing to do was to blame others for their bad judgement

The Democratic Party has a number of nuts. We just don't run them for POTUS.

Both parties have their outliers. That does not answer the question, however.

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

Does that apply to Trump as well?

It would be better if they said 'I was wrong' and apologized.

Does that apply to Trump voters as well?

 

[whirlingmerc]

Does that apply to Trump as well?



Does that apply to Trump voters as well?

It broadly applies to people who made specific clear mistakes
Trump voters not necessarily given Hillary's massive and serious baggage one could in good conscience vote for Trump over Hillary.

You had no concerns over Hillary's many decades of 'baggage'?
I did.

Please list the outcry of Democrats against them. If not, by their silence one could argue most.

So this means that all the Republicans agreed with the bull**** Trump was spewing about Covid-19 from Jan-Mar?

They were not silent, in fact instrumental in correcting some of his view

A good leader owns up to their cases of poor judgement

wow.
You really do have your eyes closed to what you do not want to see.

wow

I showed video clips of leading democrats encouraging NYC people to go to crowded places in the midst of the crisis

Those were eye openers indeed

One even said if you didn't go to the crowded parade you were racist.
And that's sad.
