I’m convinced that the long arc of holding office bends towards turning to shit. Your class interests will change, the people you spend time with will change, the system will punish integrity and reward selling out every day for eternity until you’ve been conditioned like Pavlov’s dog to be shit. But the election is happening and someone has to win it. If it’s Zohran maybe more people join socialist orgs and read theory and when they get disappointed by Zohran maybe they become more militant in their convictions. If he wins I’ll be slightly happy and then move on because it doesn’t change a lot.
