    Four years ago, you say?

    Okay it wasn’t his campaign, he and I were both working on a campaign for someone else. Still, absolutely bizarre feeling that I’ve sat and had a real, normal human conversation with the guy who’s likely to be the next mayor of NYC.

        He’s hiding them. His mayoral campaign specifically was not possible without real materialist analysis. We are living in an affordability crisis. You win by offering actual improving material conditions to the working class. We had a long chat about this

          The takeaway for American Hexbear might be that in order to do something meaningful you might need to get on stage and firmly declare that “I am your DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST candidate for [x]” like Zohran did. It’s the proper materialist analystis (“socialism with burger characteristics” lol)

          It’s cracking me up to think about our users trying to do it but kinda throwing up in their mouths a little when they say the line. Or doing :lenin-shining: on the debate stage, and holding a “UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD” deep in their chest while some ghoul is yapping at them. The tells would be so obvious to us watching haha, luckily it seems like Zohran is a true professional about it and maybe not as online-poisoned?
