What’s going on with personal identity and the optics of socialism? By that I mean: Zohran is crushing it with college-educated white men, according to the polls. Meanwhile, Establishment Dem Cuomo has won majority support from women, people of color, and old folks. I know socialism is rarified and academic, so for that reason it has a white stigma. I don’t live in NY, but I wonder what DSA is doing to reverse that. Any other explanations for why the polls are shaking out this way? How are women supporting Cuomo despite his sexual harassment resignation, or old people after the 2020 nursing home scandal? Or is it as simple as Dem propaganda, powerful business interests, media bias, etc.
