That would require Zohran to be ideologically liberal. I think it's pretty clear from a number of litmus tests that he's a socialist. It's much more difficult to go from being a socialist to a centist. Ideologically, being a socialist isn't merely a step to the left of liberal. It's a fundamentally different worldview which resembles American liberals in a few areas but only in appearance. E.g. both a liberal and a socialist might advocate for universal healthcare. The liberal feels that private healtchare is a defect of an otherwise functioning system. The socialist sees the system working as intended in that it enriches the oligarch class via private healtchare. Therefore the socialist sees public universal healthcare as removing a revenue stream from the oligarch class, diminishing its power in the process and reducing the scope of the capitalist system. The improvement to people's lives naturally follows as a consequence of that. From this perspective, it would be very difficult for a socialist to be convinced they should abandon universal healthcare because insurers would lose too much money like Obama did.

Given a lot of his known history, I have enough confidence to say he's a real one, unlike Obama.

It’s going to start trickling down any day now.

The US is stuck in a perpetual election cycle. As soon as somebody is elected we have to start thinking about the next election.

This is not a normal election. This is a unique moment in recent American history. While the MAGAs are forcibly dragging us into Fascism, we finally have a viable Progressive candidate for a major office. Not only that, but it's the kind of office where Progressive policies can actually be tried out, and proven to work, or not.

Not since FDR, have we had an opportunity like this, and we need it as badly now as we did back then. .

I don't know what you're expecting. The election day hasn't changed. It's the first Tuesday in November, always has been and, barring anything extremely unconstitutional from certain spray tanned individuals, it always will be.

I used to go to Venice Beach and admire the semi-quaint and weird vibes the area employed. Since Big Tech moved right next door, I noticed a decreased in diversity and an increase of tech bros ruining the scene. It no longer has the old vibes I once knew, in addition to everything in the area increased in price due to their presence.

American's fascination with Oligarchs and celebrities is absurd.

The chair of the DNC, who has complete and total control of the party....

Has literally been saying for 3 months now that Mamdani is the future of the party, and we need to run more campaigns like his not just the outreach, but actually and specifically running on things that will actually help.people.

If all you hear about "the Dems" comes from billionaire owned media.

1. You're gonna think when the party's at it's best, it's at it's worst.

2. The oligarchs are going to make you a useful idiot in the hopes you depress turnout enough a neoliberal wins.

Please put some more thought into politics. It's important and we can't allow both parties to throw basic logic out the window. The average American should have been able to easily see all this, but they obviously can't.

We can't afford to be ignorant right now

thats why they even allowed eric adams for a while.

One might say NYC gave Elon Musk, a white supremacist, a billion dollars to own a factory instead of employing those people in public transit and energy production for the city.

According to Wikipedia, 1,500 people work there. We could have just given each of those people 100,000 a year for six years, and had a few thousand dollars left over. We could have given 3,000 homeless people $25,000 a year for six years, and made them productive members of society.

Instead, we made a rich Nazi richer.
