Dual power, Zohran has to build it himself tbh. He's the new mayor in all but name, if he wants to enact his agenda he's going to need to take on the biggest gang that actually runs NYC, which is the NYPD. He's gonna need goons for that. If he's got any brains and is actually serious about enacting an even remotely socialist agenda he needs armed goons like a supervillain, and they've gotta be loyal to him. I don't think you'd be able to get an org to do this.
i mean in this scenario they deport him before he even gets to run for general election he doesnt have time to do this
I mean he's got time to build an ideologically committed security detail like right now. None of that is dependent on him being mayor.
