AOC as a mayor would have a far different set of powers and goals, and would be leagues better than what we’ve had in decades. Hard to compare the position she is in to that of mayor, and I think the majority of us here would like her a lot more if she had been a mayor this whole time.

That being said, Zohran will be a better mayor than she could be imo

He’s hiding them. His mayoral campaign specifically was not possible without real materialist analysis. We are living in an affordability crisis. You win by offering actual improving material conditions to the working class. We had a long chat about this

I know what you’re saying, and this is by no means a revolution, but it is monumental progress towards removing the boot from the neck of the working class, should we win.

Generally, the idea here is make a democratic socialist mayoralty not just a one-off thing. We want to keep working class communities invested in community and political projects that actually work for us.

Zohran and Johnson are very different candidates with very different bases and experience

I have no comment on this beyond I believe he should

I can talk more about this if I do an in depth breakdown for sure, but in short it’s been something we’ve been aware of and planned for

There is, societally and individually, something deeply wrong with soooooo many men and it is very scary

And then the Havana syndrome victims walk in

Thank you I’ll include that in the post’

Brown socialist is winning the white men demographic? But white men are supposed to be leaving the Democratic Party in droves because they are conservative and hate brown people? Gee.. how vexing! If only there were a way to campaign to reach them. Alas

You joke, but the CIA is already doing the footwork to manufacture consent for overthrowing their next democratically elected socialist
