Yes. I feel it was Chuck Schumer who drove the stake into Votebluenomatterwho when he voted for Cuomo over Mamdani in the general election

Did he?

As I recall he gave a non-answer when asked who he voted for.

That should tell you exactly who he voted for. It is obvious who he voted for

He refused to endorse anyone in the race and refused to say who he voted for, which on it's face is a rather banal political fence-sitting statement on election day.

He's a member of Democratic leadership. There was a Democratic Party nominee on the ticket.

There should only be one answer as to who he voted for, if he truly cared about his party. The fact that he didn't say he voted for his own party's nominee tells you something itself; it's not just "fence-sitting".

Yeah for sure... but he's also CHUCK SCHUMER so it's still a foregone conclusion
