In true democratic-socialist manner, the design studio ascribes to the seven cooperative principles, which includes autonomy and independence as well as a concern for community. Good stuff.
The campaign caters to younger audiences – a huge chunk of Zohran voters are made up of a younger demographic, entry-level young profressionals and students who have been struggeling with the high cost of living in NYC in recent years.

I actually noticed "Zohran" font choice during the campaign and thought it looked interesting. Its no lie that the designs are good and inviting.
I notice there is a "cartoon ad" quality to them. Like the type of advertisements you would see in a cartoon for "Eat at Joe's"
I don't think this is by accident. The cartoony nature helps short circuit critical inquiry..."Childcare for All", "Fast and Free Buses", "Freeze the Rent" are all highly complicated economic questions...convincing young immigrant / white female low-information voters that it can all be done easily and for free is critical.

Is not an accident at all. It's strategically targeted advertising. As mentioned above, all these slogans come from the seven cooperative principles.
It was treated as a brand, sold to the masses to gain votes. Was it successful?

Zohran' success had almost nothing to do with design principles

The demography of NYC has changed since Sep 11, 2001.
Most of Zohran's supporters and voters are immigrants from third world countries.
It's like Somalia's conquest of Minneapolis
