Because he’s of Indian heritage you’re comparing him to Ro Khanna? Come on.

.... No. Ro is a progressive candidate that has taken some questionable moves in the past - in the last day he abstained on a vote to subpoena Elon musk, and was giving interviews pre-election where he was being much more moderate than his progressive moniker woukd suggest - on gaza and biden and etc.

I understand why Ro Khanna is being questioned for his progressive ideals, or lack thereof. I’m genuinely asking you why this person, who I’ll be honest, I had never heard of, would be getting a comparison to Khanna. This article doesn’t suggest anything about him flip flopping or having questionable ethos. So beyond having a south Asian heritage, I don’t see the connection to Khanna…
