"Cancelled" isn't a sufficiently precise term to be meaningful in this context. I doubt many people would have voluntarily booked him for a comedy tour or whatever, six months ago, and my corner of the world (liberals and leftists in NYC) had already been unhappy with him as a politician well before these accusations. But impeaching a governor, or having him voluntarily resign, is a much more involved process.
- ashtonkem 5y agoIt’s kind of amazing how valueless the word “cancel” is, given that it now covers everything from becoming unemployable to being criticized. I find it particularly dumb in this context. This isn’t about “cancelling” or legally prosecuting Cuomo, it’s about deciding whether or not he is fit to continue to wield executive authority on behalf of the people of New York. You can decide that someone isn’t worth “cancelling”, whatever the fuck that means, and still decide that they shouldn’t be the governor of your state.
