They don’t.

There’s two main criticisms of Zohran that come from the left.

One is that while good, his victory is going to be limited because the mayor has little power to enact systematic change. The keeping of Teach (likely to avoid a war with Hochul he can’t win) is a point for this

The second is that it reinforces the Democratic party which actively opposes socialism, by giving it a face of that. And that in that way it also serves to dilute actual revolutionary energy, etc.

You don’t have to agree with those arguments - I don’t fully. But those are them. But considering the person here is hitting a shitlib trifecta - screaming about tankies and horseshoe theory, conspiracy theories about Russian bots, and claiming “nuance” when caught in obvious contradictions - theyre not going to make an actual argument. Just claim ownership of the left for the center, again.
