    People stupid enough to believe this B.S. in the first place are not going to read articles debunking it. What you need is some over the top praise of his policy ideas. Keep it simple and flood low information voters with it.

    I do fear he is a racist however. in his published policy memo “Supporting homeowners and ending deed theft” at https://www.zohranfornyc.com/platform

    He says in a headline in the linked policy memo document:

    Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods

    I support the rich paying their share, and most of his other policies, if anything because is moves the city in the correct direction in my opinion; but I do take issue with him not just targeting a neighborhood because its richer, but because it is also whiter.

    That is an explicitly racist policy, and on principle it should be opposed.

    I do not understand why he is injecting race war into what could and should be a class war and it feels like a significant misstep. I’ve emailed his campaign about it days ago, but there has been no response or update so far unfortunately.
