New York Mayor Eric Adams did not mince his words about his disapproval of what he called the large number of “nasty” Gen Z voters supporting Zhoran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate leading the race for NYC mayor.

upvote if you're nasty radicalised and hate the us

Ate those lines fed to him from the White House right up, huh.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

This country was founded on the idea that the New York mayor is a corrupt piece of shit. I will not be accepting arguments otherwise.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 hours ago

Actually Mamdani's government would improve the country in a lot of ways, and would also be a big win for the economy of the owning class. That is because if people have more money, that stimulates consumption and that drives the economy forward. It's like a big engine, you gotta put fuel in it to drive it.

Welp, now we know how Adams feels about the very New Yorkers he wants to "represent."

[-] [email protected] 1 points 52 minutes ago

sounds like he's been around trump too much.

And because of this, I hate Eric Adams. We need to redo the democratic party and replace the current stooges with people who are hungry and are ready to fight. Democratic Socialists need to have a chance to prove themselves. They must win.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago

No, we just hate you, Eric.

Real "Which Way Western Liberal?" between Eric Adams 2021 and Zohran Mamdani 2025

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 hours ago

Older than Gen Z, but started hating the U.S. when I was their age. All talk about "freedom," but the moment you try to do something different than the crowd, some people will non-figuratively threaten to murder you.

This reminds me of the famous post about estranged parents the missing missing reasons edit: fixed link

In it, the author writes about how like one of the estranged parents will be like "My child yelled at me and said all these horrible things for 20 minutes. I've never heard such cruelty!" But when pressed for exactly what the child was upset about, no reasons are provided.

So here Adams is saying these 'gen z" people are nasty and presumably have demands, but spends no time on what their demands are, on if they're reasonable. They're just nasty and wrong and to be dismissed.

Maybe there are reasons people are upset at the country right now. Could be the fascism, the corruption, the economic chaos, the climate crisis being ignored, the anti-vaxxers in power, the economic inequality...

You have your formatting backwards. It goes [text](link) and you have [link](text).

So you would want [the missing missing reasons](https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/missing-missing-reasons.html) without a backslash in front, like this: the missing missing reasons.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Thanks. I even looked up the markdown syntax and still did it wrong. Fixed now.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

After all the bullshit that the conservatives pulled, I am certainly radicalized all right. My love for the country is conditional on it not being shit.

So far, the vast majority of our leaders deserve the bowl, and in dire need of flushing.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 hours ago

See, Adams may be a corrupt oligarch, but the real criminal in his eyes are people who are rude to him in public for it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Nah they just don't trust crooked Adams

[-] [email protected] 21 points 4 hours ago

Shit, he's getting his press releases straight from Stephen Miller's office now.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

I mean, he's mostly right.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 4 hours ago

I’m not gen Z but I hate “our country” meaning the Nazis that are currently in charge. America is currently a fascist state, GOP are Nazis/fascist scum

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 hours ago

I hate "our country" for lack of job security, vacation, paternity leave, HEALTHCARE. And now there's the fascist on top of that... Fuck this place is a shit hole

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

See, Adams may be a corrupt oligarch, but the real criminal in his eyes are people who are rude to him in public for it.

There is no future that is not radical. Radical change for the better, or total irreversible climate collapse under petty feudalism.

The status quo is fucking us.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

No, democrats have unfailing moral values, they would never say something like that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

I'm nasty in that I hate your country, too. which I guess makes me radical

He's been a fraud for a long while now (probably his whole career back to NYPD, which pains me a bit to say because iirc he got his start calling out their racism), if he keeps trying to delegitimize the will of the voters like this we can start adding things like "tyrant" and "traitor" to his titles

Ask Hillary how that deplorables line worked for her.

I wish Mamdani would lean more into this, but I also get why he's not.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

Omg yes. Americans, cherish this man. Emulate his message in as many ridings as you can. If you like what he's saying, write your local reps and tell them that.

You could have a million Mamdanis.

[-] [email protected] 153 points 8 hours ago

I'm not a Gen Z voter, so I certainly can't speak for them, but I hate our country. I hate that so many Americans are being left behind. I hate that we are falling so far behind other democracies. I hate that our democracy is so flawed and corrupted, that I'm not sure it's accurate to even call it a democracy anymore. I hate that so many Americans believe that being greedy, selfish, and indifferent to human suffering is not only acceptable, but somehow "rational." I hate the manipulation and the misinformation that is very intentionally disseminated to the American people. I hate the violence, I hate the war mongering and war profiteering. I hate a lot of what IS right now, because I DEMAND better for myself and ALL other Americans.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

I don't respect anyone who isn't radicalized at this point. To look at the state to which our system is broken and not demand change by whatever means necessary is to be complicit in the atrocities being committed.

[-] [email protected] 70 points 8 hours ago

You don't hate our country, you said so yourself - you hate what it is right now, because you know it can be better. You want it to be better. That's not hate, that's love.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I think they hate it because they know it better.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 7 hours ago

The deepest love you can have for your country is wanting better for all its residents.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

What about when I turn the lights down low.. light a candle.. put on the Kenny g..

[-] [email protected] 41 points 6 hours ago

Oh, yes, insult your potential voters, that will show them

[-] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago

He really only cares about the rich ones.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 6 hours ago

Nothing radicalizes you more than perpetual poverty, struggle, suffering and hopelessness. If the world wasn't a system of tortures built by selfish billionaires, maybe we GenZ wouldn't be so radicalized.

[-] [email protected] 114 points 8 hours ago

If Eric Adams doesn't like NYC, he can just stay at home in his Jersey apartment.

Even better, he can move down to Mar Lago and see how MAGA would really treat him.

‘nasty, radicalized and hate our country’

Based, based, and turbo-based

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Right wing politicians be like that

[-] [email protected] 54 points 8 hours ago

Why is Adams channeling Trump? He knows he's black, right?b

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

He is like that old guy in django unchained that stays loyal to his slaver until the end. And he will die for him if need be.
