I think it’s insulting to both the candidate and organizers working tirelessly to imply that.
Endorsements don’t determine campaigns - organizers do.
Electing a public defender to a DA’s position with her platform could be transformative, &the organizers busting their butts on the ground have earned recognition.
After he lost,did people imply that the Gov’s endorsement wasn’t powerful anymore? That virtually every single union in NYC no longer had influence?
No! It was about the candidates and the race. It always is.
