Do we know that Zohran isn't gonna be an op like AOC? I'm glad that he's done so well in the primary as an out and open socialist or whatever but I really don't trust anyone that gains any sort of notoriety in US politics anymore

His mother is an award winning film maker.

His father a storied international scholar and writer. Perhaps others can fill in because his history is outside my understanding.

In other words he comes from a certian pedigree and prestige. The potential for pete is there. Just going to have to wait and see but at lesst he isn't Cum-o.

Ah, of course that's the case. But it's not like you can't have correct politics because of that but it's not very convincing to me when he was endorsed by Bernie and AOC. I have heard that he has some real lib takes on Palestine as well but he might need to bend his real feelings on it to court more voters.

In any case I think he will win the general election. All of the other candidates including the one Republican eho was uncontested, want to increase police budgets which seems to be broadly unpopular, and Zohran also has cross endorsements from two other candidates. If he gets the large majority of those votes, that will push him over 50%. I will be so curious to see how this shakes out
