Fetterman had a lot of baggage already going in against Oz. He is a good case study on what happens when a run for office is based on opposition alone. He was elected to not be Dr Oz, so that’s what he is.
Zohran on the other hand’s main (and only) baggage is are the actual policies he is promoting and supporting. Which is hugely different. But at the same time that means Zohran’s actual safety is a real concern.
I’d say he comes from intelligensia more than wealth, which is somewhat adjacent I’ll concede for the sake of it.
However I wouldn’t saddle a politician with their origin so much as things within their capacity to control, like their (proposed) policies and actions.
As an adult he did social work and made silly music, neither of which are politically problematic.

Zohran comes from wealth. That’s baggage in my book. I mean, I still hope he wins, but wealth has done us no favors.

Don’t fret. I don’t doubt this man at all. There are other “progressives” I’m more concerned about.
