It’s fascinating to watch @FDConole do in #NY22 what the elite political institutions teach the ruling class: when you have money or are deemed “frontrunner” in a race, ignore public events, forums, and press. Hide behind ads and mailers. Make few unscripted public appearances.
Candidates do this because they’re afraid that, if voters hear how unprepared they are, they’ll vote for someone else. They want to buy elections instead of compete for them on the merits.
It’s also how we get really awful politicians who don’t do anything for us or our issues.

Of course, this tactic is also a total middle finger to the voting public, but the ruling class doesn’t care about that. And @FDConole wants desperately to be a part of that class!
Let’s hope voters in #NY22 see through this obvious politician BS + choose a better Democrat.

To be fair to Francis, it’s also exactly what @SteveWellsForNY is doing on the Republican side in #NY22.
If they don’t drastically change tactics, neither deserves your vote on August 23rd.
