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.

    Eric Adams is an evil sack of shit in a skin bag and should have been drowned at birth. And I’m not even a Gen Z.

    Bold thing to say for someone backed by a traitor. Its a patriotic duty for Americans to hate tyranny, that includes this administration. If you support this illegitimate administration, you are a traitor to the constitution and the enemy of America. For that matter, the “junta of 6” on the supreme court are also traitors.

    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.

      Yeah, but you gotta think of the shareholder value for the next quarter! The Chinese think in decades. We don’t! Capitalism FTW, baby!

        nobody actually cares about shareholders, the entire foundational idea around stock-markets was to essentially act as a liquidity trap, to seperate the new-rich from their $. and it was a resounding success.

        as with many other things, most of the rest of the world regulated out the most glaring flaws in this setup so that it’s atleast somewhat functional, but certain rules/exceptions to rules exist within the american system that act as obscene advantages to insiders a/o old-money.

        every single “crash” is by design, and the next rugpull won’t be too much longer now…

          Don’t you mean the people with the closest and fastest connections so they can make pennies on trades before everyone else and make millions for basically no effort except some fancy stock trading algorithm they regularly update…

    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…
