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.

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

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

[–] NerdyKeith@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Same rhetoric Trump voters used against non-trump voters. So weak minded

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm kind. I am not nice.

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

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] danglybits27@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Because then they might have to explain to their brain-numbed viewers what Socialism really is

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Send Adams to Mississippi.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ask Hillary how that deplorables line worked for her.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

In other words, a Donald Trump wanna be.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

The use of the word "nasty" . I mean when do intelligent people say that? When's the last time anyone reading this post said " that salesperson is nasty" or " that price point is nasty"? Five year olds say shit like that ...Trump has dragged down language for the dumber half of the country and now they all have poopy pants. Freaking grow the hell up and get some eloquence in your conversation. /Rant

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!

[–] chemicalprophet@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

ACAB. Fuck this traitor

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

Voter to Mayor Adams:

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

"Nasty" as in "Dare to oppose him"

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, he's mostly right.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

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