    That’s exactly my point, since he can’t run for President, even if he’s governor of NY he’s still not really a threat to the power structure of the country, even Senator. He’d be Bernie 2.0 but unable to run for President. Not saying he wouldn’t be influencing politics but it’s a massive card off the table if he can’t run himself.

    Timing wise odds are he’ll be in NYC long enough for Chuck to be replaced by someone else for 40 years. Kirstin seems firmly in her seat, so I’d say he’s most likely Governor after mayor, just a moonshot guess.

      The powerful regard speaking the truth as an existential threat, otherwise they wouldn’t seek to silence him.

      It might make some difference that while Bernie represents Vermont, Zohran would represent New York which is like the national headquarters of capitalism
