In late November, Democratic Party leaders sent IDC members an ultimatum calling for reunification of the party through a coalition to claim two seats up for special elections outside of Queens or face primary challenges, which would affect state Sens. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) and Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and six other members of the committee.
Comrie claimed a Democratic coalition was unrealistic considering his dealings with Avella, who he said has never tried to work with other Democrats in the state Senate, despite his own efforts to maintain a working relationship.
“I’ve tried to work with him over the years, but he is not interested in working with us in any way, shape or form,” Comrie said. “He is the singular most selfish person that I have ever met... This is beyond his desire to work collectively because I don’t think he’s interested in working collectively with anybody. He sees himself as an independent warrior, as his own soldier to go and rally against the things he feels are unjust and he will do whatever he can to step on whoever he wants to make that happen.”
The Hillcrest Jewish Center where the forum was held is in Avella’s district. Most of the criticism was directed against him.
But Avella struck back in a later statement at the accusations from IDC detractors, saying Empire State Indivisible and similar groups perpetuate the same “distortion” of facts they claim to oppose from the Trump administration.
“Obviously I like to work with people. Otherwise how would I get 49 bills past the Senate?” Avella said. “What I have a problem with are politicians who are working against the public good... If [Comrie] follows the political adage ‘going along to get along’... If he believes in that adage, well then shame on him. I don’t.”
Avella said Comrie had ignited conflict by introducing a bill to allow a Sephardic temple in Fresh Meadows with safety violations, and owned by Avi Dishi who was once on the 100 worst landords list, to file for a tax exemption. Avella declined to back the bill because the people conducting worship did not own the property and there were safety concerns.

Avella cares more about northeast Queens then anyone else. He’s office is always willing to help out if when the issue is outside his district.

AND Obese Comrie has NEVER WORKED, just collected political government welfare. Don't believe it, walk around his own district where he was councilman for 12 years and now Senator.
Can you spell G-H-E-T-T-O on steroids. I mean the Jamaica Center Station, if one has not been there in awhile is a huge homeless encampment where every other subway car coming out of there is filled with at least two homeless people who have taken over.
FUCK FAT COMRIE.
Damn you Tony!! Fall in line with the other good little soldiers or we will take you seat away! You're making us look bad! We elected to to work!
what a joke, threatening the one person in the entire queens political system who gets stuff done.
Joe Moretti I usually read your posts and end up agreeing with you. Ordinarily you make good points, however zeroing in on Comries weight problems does nothing to advance your point. I expected more from you. It demeans your argument.
That Comrie is being messenger boy for the lords of Crowley-stan and Shumer-desh is no surprise. There are lots of obligations owned to their masters - the developers - on turning over property that 'cunty' does not own - like our communities, our homes, our neighborhoods as well as our money that was given in trust to them to help our families, not to hire hacks to train hordes of 3rd world voters for them.
Never before has public comments full of vitriol been displayed in a public forum as we find in Crappy. Never before has their gravy train of funds been threatened like in we hear with this administration in Washington.
Blind loyalty, as opposed to competence, might be great to coerce grandma, a snowflake, or a 3rd world type with no knowledge of true American civics, or the real purpose of political office, into blind compliance, but sooner or later things start to fall apart.
Be it Versailles or a Democratic Fundraiser, with courtly music by the Sun King, or Joe Crowley, and windy speeches by some courtly toady, or a council hack, the effect is the same: they circle their wagons when the peasants get restive and start to crack down on dissent and opinion when its chill winds waft through their haughty corridors of power and privilege.
The Democratic Colossus will tramp blindly on - it is after all on automatic pilot not unlike Napoleon's columns in Russia, or the Snow Walkers in Star Wars, and will eventually come crashing down much to the delight of the oppressed.
For every Avella they hit, 5 Avellas will arise to stand next to him.
The corrupt Dem leaders don't like having their apple cart upset by ANY reform efforts. They have been hiding out for years resting on their incumbent asses! Look at that fucking fat ass Stavisky DYNASTY....an insult to real democracy! They have held their empire since the 1960s! Too damn long!
TERM LIMITS FOR ALL POLITICIANS! Otherwise we have a monarchy bubble existing within the republic. Didn't we fight a revoultion to abolish an incumbent king?

I did not zero in on Comrie's weight as you stated. I just mentioned his unhealthy weight in passing, in other words I told that truth about Comrie, he is obese and we all pay for that and other unhealthy issues with people in the form of higher health insurance premiums and higher medical costs.
AND not this is not FAT SHAMING. This is FAT TRUTH AND REALITY.
Comrie and the rest of the creeps cannot even shine Tony Avella's shoes.
> He sees himself as an independent warrior, as his own soldier to go and rally against the things he feels are unjust and he will do whatever he can to step on whoever he wants to make that happen.
What's the opposite of a left-handed compliment? A right-handed insult? Because this sounds like praise disguised as criticism.
If the Democratic machine wishes to primary Avella again, they can and he will win again. Such a waste of party donor money.
this is great news, Avella, not cooperating with mainstream communists. Imagine how superb NY could be without communists. For now we are still in something like NoKo
A weighty pol does not mean pounds. It should mean integrity. Comrie has ......uh....an eating problem as well as being a crook!
May they all eat their own...
He sees himself as an independent warrior, as his own soldier to go and rally against the things he feels are unjust and he will do whatever he can to step on whoever he wants to make that happen.
That's right. Mr. Avella to you comrade Comrie is not part of the corrupt NY Democratic machine, that's your problem.
You need to be retired to history's dustbin comrade Comrie.
Mr Avella, thank you for everything that you have done and you do for our community.
The most dangerous place to be? Between Chuck Schumer and a microphone.
The second most dangerous place to be? Between Leroy Comrie and a Big Mac.
however zeroing in on Comries weight problems does nothing to advance your point.
Oh yeah it does. Fat sack of liberal turd.

Oh yes you did you totally deflected attention from a serious neighborhood issue to the fact that He's morbidly obese. Read the comments following you post as proof.

NO, Comrie and the rest of the asshole elected officials deflect attention from serious neighborhood issues constantly. I really doubt that my calling Comrie obese is taking away from the matter at hand. AND if your focus was thrown off the problem by me calling fat Comrie OBESE, which he is, a fact, then something is seriously wrong with your focus and attention span. Might want to work on that. At this stage of the game, I really don't give a shit what people say about me or my comments. My skin is as thick as Comrie's waistline.
Oh yes you did you totally deflected attention from a serious neighborhood issue to the fact
Actually you are doing the deflection.
Typical troll tactic to attack the poster instead of what the real issue is.
Get a life troll.
I’m a fat bastid,but Comrie is a fat f*ck.
Tony Avella (Avaricious Avella), and Leroy Comrat both give MENDACITY a bad name! When are you going to learn, Queens County 'SHEEPLE,' that the left wing and the right wing belong to the same diseased bird?
Just open your 'See No Evil' eyes, for once in your oppressed-and-brainwashed lives, and see how these public pigs of corporate obedience are living, versus how YOU are SURVIVING! They get defined pension systems (paid for by everyone else), while YOU get a lifetime of nonstop work that pays for your coffin!
DO YOU GET IT NOW? The two-party-machine-failed duopoly is a U.S. crime against humanity that, if it isn't banished soon, will destroy YET ANOTHER 50 years of generations to come. The only way to rid a lethal scourge like this is by extermination. And, right now——the criminal enterprise that continues to hijack EVERY single American, in a hostage holding pattern, IN PERPETUITY, only gets worse by the hour!

"He sees himself as an independent warrior, as his own soldier to go and rally against the things he feels are unjust and he will do whatever he can to step on whoever he wants to make that happen."
Look, I have little use for Tony Avella, but he is independent and has proven himself to be unbossed by this Queens machine. Leroy is just another pathetic cog that does Virginia Joe's bidding and is happy with whatever crumbs Joe decides to feed him. Oh boy, they are threatening a primary. They did that to Avella once before when the put John Liu up against him, county pulled all stops out to try to defeat him, they had their usual elected posted outside the polling places, their minions going door to door, and Tony won. So Leroy, go ahead. Go ahead and threaten primaries. These folks are not scared of you. Leroy, deep down you are a decent fellow. Maybe you should focus on yourself and take a good look in the mirror and see if you like what you see. You are dangerously overweight and if you don't do something you will die prematurely. You are part of a county machine that is corrupt and is run by three lawyers in Nassau County that have made millions in foreclosures during the financial crisis, they also make money civil forfeitures, which may have an impact on many of your constituents of color. Do you still like the people you are dancing with? Do you really need them? Stand up and think for yourself dude...why are you doing the bidding of some dude that doesn't even live in Queeens? What is it really getting you? Is it really worth it?
And as for those comments about people zooming in on Comrie's weight, the man is dangerously obese...he needs medical help...he is a decent guy who has been sucked in by this sick vortex of the Queens Machine. It's about time someone call him out on it so he can get the help he needs... and let's not talk about the substance abuse issues in the Party maching
Well it looks like Holden sold out already...
