I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.

I'll go one further. Zohran also was able to get a constituent out of ICE custody with a phone call - if this sort of power becomes more common it's fundamentally good for organizing (until he proves otherwise).

Obviously we can still critique these figures, but having a mayor who fights for his constituents rather than one that lets hogs run crazy is a good thing overall.
