I wonder if this nonsense being thrown at Trump is partly a cover for this and many untold other instances of incompetence and negligence by both Cuomo and DeBlasio that contributed to the high infection rates and death tolls in New York state and even just NYC alone.
I half agree with you. Yes, they wanted to damage Trump. You are assuming the decisions were made from incompetence and negligence.
The decisions were made knowingly and with malice. Just as they knew what would happen when they released violent criminals, they knew putting contagious people with at risk populations would increase the death rate.
You still assume democrats are just incompetent, because it's unthinkable to many people that elected officials would kill people for political gain.
Once the election system has been sufficiently compromised to ensure someone cannot be voted out of office, they enact their true agenda. The starvation of the people of Venezuela wasn't an unintended consequence of socialism. It was the intended outcome.
