Hochul is literally the furthest right a "democrat" can defensibly be. Zohran is a big deal specifically for overcoming the machine in NY that has kept politics in the city and state intensely conservative for decades
I thought NY was deeply blue ?
the fun thing about US bourgeois democracy is that the safer the seat is, red-or-blue, the party sees that as license to go against the wishes of their constituents, instead of delivering. when there's a chance of losing maybe they feel compelled to deliver.
i was probably exaggerating with Hochul as the right-est, but the dems own the NY governorship so she gets to be nakedly rightwing cause what will the people do about it? elect the even more racist republican? woman personally threw billions of public money away in order to save her million-billionaire pals a couple bucks in parking fees
Interesting
