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.
Will it force the Democratic voters to finally show up to vote? That's the main question.
My mid-20s son is energized for the first time. He's been voting all along, but he's been very unmotivated by his choices. This is the first time I've seen him excited to vote (for Zohran).
We are finally seeing progressives, especially YOUNG progressives reaching their breaking point. They are justifiably pissed off at the establishment Democrats who are complicit in the rise and dominance of MAGA, and they are determined to make a change. They fully believe that their futures depend on it, and they now understand that they will get absolutely no help from the Establishment Dems. They know it's up to them to sculpt their own future at the ballot box.
Give them candidates that they can believe in, like Zohran, and Young Progressives will come out big.
Again with this passive shit. Nobody is supposed to give you anything, it's politics, people present their worldview and gather votes of those who agree. Regressive democrats vote, progressive don't, that's why you are "given" candidates you generally see. If you want to see better candidates, vote for better candidates.
It pisses me off for no end, you go to any lefty space, all that you see is perpetual "voting is pointless, don't vote, I voted once 20 years ago and look what it brought us, you should firebomb wallmarts instead. By the way, why all the candidates that win are so bad, it's like they don't listen to us".
yeah, middle aged progressive here. I can't tell you how jazzed I am to see Cuomo take up his new job of Gently Used Airport Scarecrow. I really hope the establishment is seeing the writing on the wall.
Middle age progressives have been pissed off since 2009 or so, when Congress scraped the public option from the ACA. We won a few victories (yay marriage equality) but the ghouls can lie, like they lied about keeping roe. So they will keep winning until they are met with honest people willing to change the system.
Socialism or lose.
Middle age progressives didn't vote for Bernie twice. Is it because they're actually small in numbers or is it because they are pissed but don't channel this energy into anything? I let you to decide which is worse.
Small in number. Bernie came close both times, but 40% of the primary voters is like 2% of the population.
I would remind you that Clinton was legit popular with dem primary voters. She nearly won vrs Barak Obama, historically charismatic candidate.
I'm with ya.
