Enjoyed reading this. What's also interesting is that since Zohran can't run for president, it creates even more of a feeling that he'll be 200% committed to being mayor. With so many people having treated the NYC mayorship as an audition for something bigger, that's a nice change.
I have no intention of putting a politician on a pedestal but even I have to admit he’s given me a bit of hope…maybe all is not lost…dreaming of an actual real left wing politician in the UK sometime soon…
i agree with not putting a politician on a pedestal, i think i'm just really thankful we're past leftist politicians being annihilated by tabloids like corbyn was in the UK
Cheering from Seattle. Fuck yes. Hope is hard to come by these days (considering how the recent news headlines from DC almost appear to be straight out of a Philip k dick dystopian nightmare novel). Still your phenomenal writing about an overwhelmingly joyful victory gives me hope for better days ahead. Also just have to say that your new portrait of the lovely mayor to-be is wonderful. Cheers to the politics of empathy and cheers to Zohran!
hell yes! really appreciate your emphasis on how Zohran demonstrates a new playbook for running local progressive campaigns—hopeful that others across the country will run with it!
you guys (Americans) seem to build such awful limits around change and renewal by forcing all of it to always be labelled "Democratic". the two party thing looks from the outside like it's truly killing you

it's probably the best use of social media i've seen in a campaign (or at least the best *positive* use of social media i've seen in a campaign lol)
