This is astounding. David Patterson was the prime bill sponsor of public financing for years as minority and majority leader of the Senate. NYC's system has existed with 3rd parties successfully for 30 YEARS. #FairElections

The depths the @nydems are going to disgrace robust public financing and suggest there has been a movement to kill fusion is shockingly undemocratic. Just as nationally House Dems are fighting to transform laws with #HR1.
They use bias polling to suggest voters don't want a Government Of, By and For the People. They fearmonger to suggest there are no controls on the limited funds that would match only small donations that increase democratic participation.
They suggest it would be simple and easy to qualify but the commission is actually suggesting doubling the thresholds of the city system where a 1/3rd of candidates can't qualify.
They suggest this Commission was created with some wonderfully democratic process instead of language shoved in a NYS budget process literally in the middle of the night before the budget deadline, forcing legislators to do this or shut down Government.
The Democratic Governor of New York State @NYGovCuomo is about to orchestrate the biggest rollback of democracy NY has seen in modern times. #shameful #desperate #petty #powerhungry #Gaslighting
