Gosh when you talk about issues that affect the working class, you get positive results. Hmmm..🤔, "outside the box" thinking. Not comparing him to Trump in any way, but wasn't that how Trump won over the working class by false progressive promises of fixing the economy (which he will F'ck up) and healthcare (which he will ignore,) lower food prices (which his tariffs will raise by the end of the year?)

I hope Zohran's campaign waves spark a better working class party. As for the Democrats, will he transform like most progressives in the DNC, into an AOC, sheep-herding voters into voting for neo-liberals? Time will tell. He unfortunately can't ever run for president being a foreigner, but love the 'shake-up' he is creating.
