Sorry for an essay on a shitty SNL joke but this clip is the PERFECT encapsulation of how Establishment Democrats view Zohran’s social media success versus what he actually does on here.
Zohran’s entire communication style is always clear and effective while simply adapting it to common vertical video production features (good audio, minimal dead air, moving shots). This is especially true when it comes to serious situations like storms, where he focuses on clear recommendations and updates for the viewer. He also incorporates his genuine personality as well into the videos to make them authentic.
This clip, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of that. It assumes Zohran is leaning into a ridiculous TikTok dance trend that doesn’t communicate actual practical information to the audience about flood zones or services the city offers during storms. It could not be further from what Zohran actually does on social media.
This is just a one-off bad joke but it honestly isn’t too far off for how many people in power view Zohran’s social media presence. And that’s also why they’ve never been able to replicate it.

as an american my full support is with the people of venezuela as they resist US invasion by any means necessary. venezuela has the right to defend itself.
‘We support a peaceful and democratic transition?’ FROM WHAT? Transition from what? Did nothing happen? Maybe a bombing and kidnapping of the Venezuelan president by US?
Look how she also worded the ‘Respect international law,’ as in AFTER the invasion and coup the meter starts running about international law.
Stop the bombings — No U.S. war on Venezuela! Money for people’s needs, not the war machine!

🇻🇪 Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez says the whereabouts of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores are unknown, confirming Jeremy Scahill’s earlier reporting and demanding proof of life from the U.S.:
“We demand from the United States government proof of life of President Maduro and the First Lady… all the nation’s defense plans are activated.”
Venezuela still stands! There are people, families, workers, the military and a government still intact regardless of the declarations of the Trump administration. Sovereignty matters!
We must stand in solidarity with THE PEOPLE IN VENEZUELA to exercise their right to defend their existence, their homeland and democracy against US intervention.
Those so called Venezuelans living in the U.S. and elsewhere applauding the slaughter and attacks on the people in the name of “freedom�� would sell their mother as quickly as they’re selling out their motherland. They are complicit of crimes against the Venezuelan people! They are part of the legacy of those who have historically supported attacks against their own in exchange for licking the boots of US imperialism.
The US has no moral or legal authority to continue taking over other nation’s land and resources by force. Their history is not the people’s history; their crimes are not ours to carry or applaud.
barely even tried with the drug trafficking lie now they're fully bombing venezuela and we all know it's over oil. all this fucking country does is bomb kill steal and lie
We are emitting carbon dioxide ten times faster than the volcanic Siberian Traps, the cause of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, which asphyxiated the oceans, turned the continents into howling deserts, and killed the vast majority of biological life on Earth.
Bolivia's workers unions announce an indefinite general strike against the neoliberal austerity measures announced this week.
No dialogue or negotiation, all the measures must be repealed first. No honeymoon period for the right-wing govt.
