I don’t care much about the New York State governor race, but I’ve seen a few times the same argument that I saw about Bernie Sanders (from the likes of Lance Mannion and Kevin Drum et al.): that Cynthia Nixon is not corrupt enough to be governor.

They said the same thing about Sanders — that if he didn’t take loads of corporate money, this showed he “didn’t know how to play the game,” and was therefore not a real political player.

This is how far gone centrists are.
