The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. They’re trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months I’ve thought “wow, I’ve never seen a campaign do that.” Much more of that needed everywhere.

I do think though that you're potentially missing part of it. And as a center-lefter, I mean this as a compliment to Zohran: he's an awesome communicator. And being blunt, most politicians (and people in general) suck at that. Great vibes & communication is a lot of the draw.

This is a classic case of a politician who really has no power at all, using his campaign as a platform to attract attention and create action as if he is the person who really represents the people. Democrats need much more of this. Less talk, more action🌟

Mean Girls meme image of Damien saying “They don’t even go here!” There’s an American flag over Damien’s sunglasses, as this meme is being used by an American to mock a non-U.S. person for having silly and unserious opinions regarding happenings in the U.S.

We need this man's policy approach. There are now a host of other candidates that have used these social media techniques and failed. Why? Because they didn't have the crisp, clear, aggressively progressive policy to go along with the presentation style. You need the substance to back the flash.
