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.

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

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

But what does he think of the Turks?

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Ah yes, great move. This tactic of insulting your opponent's supporters has been tested and proven effective in many political campaigns. Proven to guarantee you lose, that is.

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.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days 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.

‘nasty, radicalized and hate our country’

Based, based, and turbo-based

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 days 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.

Not an original bone in their body. 2 years ago the right wing would have used similar language against him, being a PoC, and combined with their generic hatred of a liberal city.

That's because people like you have made them that way fuckface

What’s turkeys mayor concerned about a mayoral race in another country?

Did he make this statement on a Turkish airline?

I keep hearing what these losers have to say but I don't see Mamdami's actual campaign articles showing what he's doing

That's sure to get you more votes, moron.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 3 days ago

Turd coloured potato with a gross cartoon face.

That's what 'nasty' actually looks like, Eric.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Maybe Eric can arrange for his supporters to, y'know, sit it out in protest of this flagrant display of anarchy! Yeah, that'll work!

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days 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.

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.

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

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

I hate the country like I hate my galvanized plumbing. It's based on archaic, inaccurate ideas and it's ruining the entire house so I'm replacing it with functional plumbing. Until then, I still need it to carry my piss and shit away.

[–] darkmarx@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Better title: Pathetic man sees is power slipping away and lashes out.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So not everything is "radical" instead of "socialist" now? Has anyone told Fox to change their dog whistles?

Sort of ironic since Mamdani is an actual Democratic Socialist.

I mean, when you put it that way.... Maybe the kids are alright after all.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, I am radicalized, hate this country, and am nasty. So I guess he’s right.
