So you don't have to spend millions on a liberal Joe Rogan, or attack trans people, or support genocide to win a race in America? God damn, that's incredible!
I'm very happy to hear this news. Genuinely one of the best news I've heard all year round. Maybe there is a sliver of hope.
I have seen articles saying that a Zohran win would force the Democratic Party to face change, and acknowledge the rising progressive movement. Let's see if they accept the changes, or they fight against it. I suspect they'll fight, but if other elections start moving left, they'll be forced to change.
The next big test will be the mid-term primaries. Hopefully, this win will encourage progressives to run, and hopefully they'll win enough primary races to become a serious threat, especially against Establishment Dems.
And I hope one of them is AOC primarying Chuck Schumer. That spineless, whining bitch has got to go. He holds a lot of the blame for the rise of MAGA.
I think they'll try to slow the progress as much as possible. They'll run candidates that like promise 50% of what the further-left candidate promises, cook up a resume that makes them look more "experienced" than the more further-left candidate, then when they win, they only do 10% of what's promised, then find excuses, while continuing to masquerade as a progressive.
I mean, if I were a greedy rich person, that's how I'll manipulate politics.
