It’s wild how much more billionaires are spending to defeat Zohran than what his tax proposal would cost them.

It's not about beating Zohran once for a single term. It's about beating the idea of a socialist mayor out of the voting public for another generation. Gotta get back to the idea that DeBlaiso was too radical and Eric Adams is what New Yorkers should expect.

And a win for Zohran isn't just a single seat in a single city. There's a municipal offices at play, including the NYPD chief. There's half a dozen House Reps at play (chief among them Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries's seat). There's state House and Senate seats. There's the very real possibility of an insurgent campaign to unseat Kathy Hochul or threaten the increasingly unpopular Senator Gilibrand.

He's a crack in the dam. And at the size and scale of NYC, its a fucking big one.

Wow! Didn't know there was that much at stake in one election. When is it?
