sorry i don’t think Zohran’s win indicates how state or national races will go. Zohran campaigned against unaffordable basic needs and an old pervert. problems that are unique to new york city and no where else in the country
Replies
I'm sorry, the cost of living is up everywhere in this country. There is a housing shortage, & what is available is unaffordable to young people because wages have not increased at the same rate as production or inflation. My homeowners insurance has almost tripled in 3 years & I don't live in Fla.

Sarcasm aside, that might be more true than you think. Outside maybe five other big blue enclaves, has there been any indication at all that America is really swinging left in a meaningful way? (I’m not sure marches make that true). If there were I think we’d have seen national strikes already.

National strikes take organizing and people being politically active. That's increased over the years, but any organizing capable of a national strike was killed decades ago and is just now rebuilding.

Addendum. In 1980 social media and the internet did not exist. All it would take is a few thousand social media posts to “organize.” The problem is very few on the left in America are willing to risk anything.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. Most of their issues are pretty common throughout the US. Wage inequality, affordable housing, and living wages. I'll wait while you compose a list of any state in the US that doesn't have those problems.

Obama gave them the damn method in 2008! He didn't come through on a lot of it - some his fault, some not. But his campaigns were wildly successful because he was incredibly smart, a great public speaker, and got people excited about the possibility of meaningful improvements in their lives.

Disagree. Part of the panic is because, just as how "slightly less crap than the Republicans" failed to ignite the public in 2016 and 2024, and 2020's win was "OK FINE, Joe Biden" - the narrative that "we can just work for our corporate donors with impunity, send checks to the usual PO Box" is over.

I appreciate when leaders try to do the right thing, and am severely grieved when they seek out opportunities to do the wrong thing. That said, I don't mean this in a cynical way, but I don't think it's possible to be POTUS without at least implicitly contributing to some crimes against humanity.

Harrison had the job for like a month before he kicked the bucket, but he argued for "states' rights" (slavery) in his inaugural speech. The only way to look at the Presidency that isn't utterly intractable is harm reduction, IMHO.

You're not wrong about that, it's just that it's not even slightly moral to take that as a matter of fact. If Americans, as a population, had even an inkling of a conscience, you'd have revolted against your government for what they do to the world decades ago.
