Why?

What did he say or do or write to upset people?

Because his success as a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist, anti-apartheid candidate is a huge threat Israel supporters especially in a city with so many Jewish constituents. Had he been silent on those issues, you would be much less criticism and Islamophobic comments about him.

Whether you agree with the feasibility of Zohran's policies or not, he ran on a platform of helping the average person. Ask yourself why that is such a threat that the Dems are supporting 3rd party candidates. Ask yourself how they would've reacted had Bernie pulled the same crap. Ask yourself why we're discussing stripping him of his citizenship and deporting him. Ask yourself why both parties are terrified of a candidate with a platform to give something to regular people instead of more handouts to corporate donors.

Hopefully this will open some folks eyes to the reality that our entire political system has become hostile to the very people it is supposed to represent, and that it is not in fact red team vs. blue team, good vs. evil, etc. In reality, it's a bunch of rich liars serving the interests of even richer people and lying their pants off to you about it. One person comes in rejecting those rich people, saying he wants to help regular people, and the system wants him destroyed.

His victory was based on college educated male voters and higher earners. Blacks and Hispanics and lower income voters broke for Cuomo.

I think the freak out is over the fact that he espouses luxury beliefs. For example, yes, rent freezes are great *for people fortunate enough to be in rent stabilized units* but it is accepted consensus that rent freezes are terrible for everyone else and overall increase the cost of housing.

His proposal on corporate taxes carries the potential to either drive out business or be inflationary as corps pass the tax cost to their customers.

His policies are likely well intentioned, but just misconceived. They are Bill de Blasio 2.0 and will be interesting to see them play out.

That's not true. Cuomo won poor and higher earners. Zohran won the middle.

It seems like he's working with smart people, and they are open to trying things and shifting strategies if they don't work. I'm sure their policy ideas aren't merely a rehash of policies already known to not work, but Cuomo and Adams' definitely are.

Nope.

He and his official party are full on Marxist socialists. Dont bother with BS posts here anymore. He’s not doing anything new from the Marxist angle. He’s new.

You know what’s socialist? Public
Libraries. We can all tell that you’ve never used one, so kudos to you for sticking to your ignorance as a belief system.

Nobody uses public libraries anymore unless they’re homeless.

Many parents take their kids to the public libraries especially over the summer. Not everyone can afford to buy books or hire private tutors.
