I hope this guy isn’t another Fetterman. Talks a good talk but once elected turns into someone else.
Fetterman had a lot of baggage already going in against Oz. He is a good case study on what happens when a run for office is based on opposition alone. He was elected to not be Dr Oz, so that's what he is.
Zohran on the other hand's main (and only) baggage is are the actual policies he is promoting and supporting. Which is hugely different. But at the same time that means Zohran's actual safety is a real concern.
Zohran comes from wealth. That’s baggage in my book. I mean, I still hope he wins, but wealth has done us no favors.
Don't fret. I don't doubt this man at all. There are other "progressives" I'm more concerned about.
