Zohran has the mandate of heaven

As someone who has been in several of the struggle sessions around him, I don't think he's the second coming of Lenin, but from what I've heard about his plans for NY, I generally think his position will be useful as long as attempts to implement them occur. He'll either get them through, which I think would increase leftward support, or he'll get ratfucked in the most blatant manner possible. Both are useful for agitprop. The only thing that would be a net negative, in my opinion, would be bending the knee.
From some of the vids I have seen come from him, it does seem like he's already planned around getting ratfucked to some degree when attempting to implement change and use it for agitation, but frankly, I've been busy, so I haven't consumed enough to take a hardened stance.
-
I worked on the campaign and can tell you with certainty that he has been prepared for resistance and ratfuckery all of the way
-
/gen is he prepared for them to bring the full violence of the state down upon him??
-
Tell him he rocks. And to clone himself and send us a cowboy Zohran.
-
When are the Zohran Fedayeen sign ups coming for New Yorkers? Only somewhat kidding.
-
I've been unemployed and realized too late the campaign was paying canvassers $30/hr (per the job posting). I would have done that!
Now I'm just refreshing his jobs page hoping for something new. I'm tired of tech work anyway.

I feel like he's the best possible version of a DSA social democrat. He's also really good at cable news interviews in a way that you almost never see. His ideology and demeanor actually reminds me a lot of Michael Brooks who had also planned on running for office in New York, and Brooks was fundamental in my radicalization

He also got more votes in the first round than anyone got in all rounds. Of course the demonrat party hates him and will probably make him lose somehow.

“For every brunch lib we lose in Williamsburg, we’ll pick up two non-voters struggling with rent in Queens!”

Time to reach across the aisle and vote for a republican
-
I really hope everyone everywhere who unfortunately has liberals in their life makes sure to constantly point out the incessant and desperate attempts at ratfucking and how weirdly coincidental that the democrats only and always do this when it's an actual left wing candidate, but those exact same people expect us to support their right wing ghouls "to beat the republicans"
-
Yeah weird how they can all of a sudden rally to remove Jill Stein off the ballot or prevent someone from becoming mayor of New York, but they can't remove Trump from office for literally any reason 🤔
-
I think very few normal liberals (not politicians or party goons) are against Zohran. Light socialist policies are extremely popular among the Dem voter base.

Democrats: "This is terrible."

Zohran will win the general, short of killing him there's nothing they can do to stop him
Once your enemies start out the gate with "terrorist" and "communist" and you still win with 12% and 2/3 of ranked choice votes, there's nowhere to go but up
The establishment left the door open by accident and incompetence, they're gonna regret this for a generation
i mean the current plan looks like they're going to make up some bs to de-naturalize and then deport him
If Zohran has any sense and is "hiding his power level" even a tiny amount, he needs an armed guard of committed socialists like yesterday to prevent this exact scenario from happening. If deporting him is at all hard for ICE to do without making it into a big public Incident, they'll have to come up with some other shenanigans unless they want riots in NYC.
