I’ve been punched in the face by reality so many times recently that my take on Zohran becoming mayor of NYC is still “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Capital is not gonna give up without a fight and they’ve been fighting extremely dirty. Remember when Melenchon’s left coalition won an election in France like 2 years ago and the centrists just said “No”?
That being said, even if they somehow ratfuck him and he doesn’t become mayor, just winning this election is itself monumental and a huge achievement. It’s undeniable proof that people want these kinds of politicians and that money isn’t enough to win a campaign. Definitely something to be proud of.

All the money and the most vile racist smears couldn’t come close to stopping him.
I know its just one election (and I ain’t a demsoc) but I hope I’ll be forgiven if my revolutionary optimism is at a high.
