    Is Zohran good? It’s a good signal that the dems are against him but also I’ve seen him mince his words and weasel out of some questions similar to what AOC and Bernie do usually, so far it seems to me like he’ll be New York AOC.

      His policy will be socdem but unlike aoc he is not a socdem, he is absolutely one of us. They will fight him far more viciously than aoc or bernie.

          I don’t think he stands a chance of achieving much at all tbh. But I will support the man tooth and nail because seeing that socialists can not work from within the system is a prerequisite to people radicalising.

            Completely agree. But i think he will at least fight and be clear on who is stopping him and why, which will make for good agitprop. Unlike Bernie folding and calling Biden a “good friend”, or AOC capitulating to leadership and crying about “committee appointments”

              Yes and we need that. It’s why we should support these efforts. It directly creates more of us. The bigger we make the resulting drama, the better.
