Zohran will win the general, short of killing him there’s nothing they can do to stop him
Once your enemies start out the gate with “terrorist” and “communist” and you still win with 12% and 2/3 of ranked choice votes, there’s nowhere to go but up
The establishment left the door open by accident and incompetence, they’re gonna regret this for a generation
If Zohran has any sense and is “hiding his power level” even a tiny amount, he needs an armed guard of committed socialists like yesterday to prevent this exact scenario from happening. If deporting him is at all hard for ICE to do without making it into a big public Incident, they’ll have to come up with some other shenanigans unless they want riots in NYC.
Yeah you honestly just need to be able to delay it enough to make it a large scene. I don’t think the residents of New York City will allow ICE to take him. A few million people all focused on making sure your goons can’t kidnap one specific figure would make things very difficult
Dual power, Zohran has to build it himself tbh. He’s the new mayor in all but name, if he wants to enact his agenda he’s going to need to take on the biggest gang that actually runs NYC, which is the NYPD. He’s gonna need goons for that. If he’s got any brains and is actually serious about enacting an even remotely socialist agenda he needs armed goons like a supervillain, and they’ve gotta be loyal to him. I don’t think you’d be able to get an org to do this.
If armed socialists in the United States got into a full confrontation with ICE I think you’d know because this site would probably be shut down by the FBI lol

I mean he’s got time to build an ideologically committed security detail like right now. None of that is dependent on him being mayor.
People who know people who would know have confirmed to me that he does have a security detail.
But can that security detail be bought? If you’re a high profile socialist, you need committed socialists as security.
From allied universal or from personal allies?
It would be pretty fucking embarrassing if they trusted Allied instead of training some long-time trusted comrades.
Yesterday?

OH, given the state of things I thought armed SRA members confronted ICE or something and I missed it lol.
