The funniest thing about Zohran is he’s not even that radical, or particularly impressive IMO.
It’s just promising basic quality of life shit and not stepping on your own dick isn’t something we’re used to seeing from politicians anymore.

Quillette, best known for posting about skull shapes and boilerplate rightwing talking points. What a despicable moron.
