Gosh when you talk about issues that affect the working class, you get positive results. Hmmm..🤔, "outside the box" thinking. Not comparing him to Trump in any way, but wasn't that how Trump won over the working class by false progressive promises of fixing the economy (which he will F'ck up) and healthcare (which he will ignore,) lower food prices (which his tariffs will raise by the end of the year?)
I hope Zohran's campaign waves spark a better working class party. As for the Democrats, will he transform like most progressives in the DNC, into an AOC, sheep-herding voters into voting for neo-liberals? Time will tell. He unfortunately can't ever run for president being a foreigner, but love the 'shake-up' he is creating.
The irony is you don't know the current chair of the DNC was the chair of the Working Family Party in Minnesota for like a decade until taking the lead at the DNC and has publicly said Mamdani is an inspiration for what Dems need to be doing at large
Like, in the time it took you to type all that. You could have read an article about how what you want literally already happened.
Jokes aside there's plenty of room on the national stage for milquetoast social democracy. The Dems are centered somewhere around Richard Nixon. Just easy shit like universal healthcare / childcare and god forbid some state direct investment would help so, so many people. NYC is interesting too bc the population is so massive some of these things could be contemplated in miniature (public healthcare option for New Yorkers, for example)
Still not counting chickens before they hatch, but here's to hoping we get to see what he does in office. If the primary is any indication he may turn out to be a person of courage and conviction yet. God knows we need one.
