The Left would rather have New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo removed for sexual harassment than nursing home deaths.
The Left now want Cuomo removed, but on their terms - meaning on their charges of sexual harassment.
The sexual harassment charges fit the Left's identity-group politics and their desire to tribalize society.
As neatly as the sexual harassment charges fit the Left's broader agenda, the nursing home charges dangerously threaten it.
Age is not one of the Left's preferred dividing lines for segmenting society - even when the elderly have been victimized, as in Cuomo's treatment of them in nursing homes during COVID. Instead of worrying about the threat that was posed by Cuomo's practice of putting the virus-infected into nursing homes, the Left are concerned that the charge could open an appraisal of all the high-handed COVID actions they pursued over the last year.
Regardless of this, the Left prefer that he not get that on the nursing home charges because they would be on trial along with Cuomo.
The Left's preference is really one of avoidance: It is for Cuomo to be quickly tried and condemned in the court of public opinion on sexual harassment charges so that the nursing home charges can be avoided altogether.
