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.

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.

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

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

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Hmmm, nasty, now where have I heard that word before...

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks 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.

The capitalist in decline screams for attention yet the worker knows what they have done and affords them no sympathy.

[–] goombakid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

This sounds like an "OK, boomer" kind of moment.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 14 points 2 weeks ago

Eric Adams is a corrupt piece of shit and it amazes me that he has not been forcibly dragged from his office by now.

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 14 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

"Hey, I'd really like to afford a house and a family some day while staying in the city I grew up in and live"

"Fucking radicals"

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Oh well. I see an Uncle Tom when I see one.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 12 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

‘nasty, radicalized and hate our country’

Based, based, and turbo-based

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] npcknapsack@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

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."

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

[–] Runaway@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago

Really not giving much reason to love the country lately

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He is just afraid of ending in the unemployment line. As a professional politician, he has no real moneymaking skills in the real world.

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.

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.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Nothing like a senior citizen yelling at kids for checks notes wanting to vote for their preferred candidate.

[–] MantisToboggon@lazysoci.al 9 points 2 weeks ago

Did he make this statement on a Turkish airline?

[–] Ordinary_Person@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That country is never going back. Once the politicians doing this shit becomes the norm, it's all over.

This asshole is almost identical to Donald Trump. Who the fuck would vote for this guy?

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Brit tabloid? In my news comm????

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

Is anyone except Donald Trump himself with Eric Adams?

Everyone saw his open corruption and as near as I can tell he has some nothing to endear himself to anyone and his platform is basically "well I should be mayor..."

Eat shit, Eric.

[–] mondomon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Well maybe Eric Adams should mind his own fucking business.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.
