Trump has made Zohran an even bigger national figure, we finally have a viable successor to Bernie's liberal ass legacy, we have a capital-S Socialist in the game

The DNC now has to decide whether to stand with Trump, ignore Zohran or bend the fuckin knee, either way Zohran is a lock to win the general

Excellent font choice for Zohran. It's magical

[–] fox@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

I've seen some deep dives on Zohran's campaign branding and it's pretty great stuff. He borrows a lot of visual cues from the graphics of NYC. Bodega menus, theater signs, poster columns, etc

Is that the same font PSL uses?

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

I don't believe so. This has more flair

It's giving ZOLTAR

But that's mostly because Zoltar and Mamdani's design choices are rooted in Indian and Bollywood aesthetics. You can read more about his campaign's design here:

Is he going to make New York Big?

The DNC and the neo-liberals are never going to bend the knee to Zohran. They will either vote for Adams or Cuomo running as an independent. I will wait for them to pull something, including a gun on him.

On the flip side, I hope Zohran, if elected, doesn't abandon his principals and turn into another fake progressive like AOC, who talks a big game and then votes for genocide and sheep-herds into voting for the neo-liberal candidate.

In response, Stein wrote on X: "Well @AOC, you supporting genocide was NOT on my bingo card, but the Democrats have a way of changing people who say they're going to 'change the party from the inside'". - Jill Stein

I feel so redeemed having voted for her

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

Yeah, fair play, Stein

Idc if she’s not a communist,she’s good as it gets for a soc dem and all the people criticizing her are literally genocide apologists

This reads like that parody email where Nancy Pelosi is asking for donations while being lined up in front of a firing squad by republicans

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

$5 BECOMES $10! I need you to pledge whatever you can to my campaign! Every dollar gets us closer to reducing the number of armed guards at my planned execution by firing squad and a brief extension of my life!

Meets the definition of terrorism.
