I congratulated Zohran after his NYC victory. Although I do not agree with all his views, I understand why people voted for him, found the result interesting, and hoped for the best. I also said that calling Zohran a communist was as bad as calling Trump a fascist, a view connected to my interest in respectful debate and discourse.
In a reply to @BillAckman, I said I respected his attitude and that he was setting a great example. I expressed affection and hoped we might connect someday; the capture does not say whether we did.
I cited the average rent cost in NYC as $4000 per month while explaining why people might want radical change.
I cited the average pre-tax income in NYC as $4331 per month, and said it was not surprising that people wanted radical change.
I did not identify the source, population, or time period for the rent and income averages. I also did not specify which people or changes I meant by “radical change.”
