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.

Its always projection

hell yeah I'm a nasty boy. I want all shills, pedophiles and sycophants to get the fuck out of office.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 days ago

Guess what buddy, all of those so-called nasty voters are going to vote for whoever the hell they want, and you can call them names, but they don't give a f*** what you think.

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 229 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 104 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 59 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

He’s got such low numbers that it looks like the only people left supporting him are churchgoing old ladies. This would play to that crowd.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It should be etched in law that it's prohibited to call the voters of your rival anything bad as it only serves to cause a division in the country.

[–] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

I like the idea, but the First Amendment exists so idiots can say dumb things like this out in the open and we can all point and laugh.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

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.

[–] proper@lemmy.world 52 points 5 days ago

he should be in jail right now.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm Gen Z, and Mamdani is the better candidate. I don't live in NYC.

In typical Democratic fashion, the Democrats blame the voters for not "Voting Blue No Matter Who™" rather that adopting progressive, popular policies.

Vote these skeletons out

I'm pretty sure the old always say the young hate the country.

"Get off my lawn!" "Those youths with their [insert sexual trend here] are destroying the country." "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!" "Those young people hate the country!" "It's Patrick, he just got life insurance."

Yeah, they hate what you turned it into. They want affordable living and politicians and the rich have no desire to reduce any of their massive salaries to help Americans.

We are all just cattle to them. So it's surprising to them when the cattle get tired of the same pen and break out.

Brit tabloid? In my news comm????

I'm certainly biased, but why does it feel like England is the birthplace of tabloid trash reporting?

They hate your country? Just because its a fascist dictatorship exploiting the rest of the world and committing genocide every chance they get? How could they.

you have no regard for the civility

I don't know under what rock he's lived for the past 10 years, but civility in politics has been quite thoroughly killed by Trump and his lackeys, which now seems to include Adams. He picked the side of no civility, so he's reaping what ue sowed.

Adams accused left-leaning schools and institutions of radicalizing young people, claiming they are being taught to hate their city and country, which is a trend, he says, that must be addressed.

Again, Trump is doing that. He's running on a platform of hating about half of all Americans, and especially coastal cities.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 64 points 5 days ago (7 children)

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

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 50 points 5 days ago (2 children)

He hopes Trump can give him a presidential whitewash.

Smart kids

Who would want to live in the US right now?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 4 days ago (7 children)

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.

Wow, Adams. I read that in Trump's voice.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

Did he just switch sides? He has to know that a corrupt scumbag like him condemning Mamdani is an endorsement.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 50 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He should just become a Republican already. He’s got the credentials.
