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.
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…
You have your formatting backwards. It goes [text](link) and you have [link](text).
So you would want [the missing missing reasons](https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/missing-missing-reasons.html) without a backslash in front, like this: the missing missing reasons.
Thanks. I even looked up the markdown syntax and still did it wrong. Fixed now.
I mean, I am radicalized, hate this country, and am nasty. So I guess he’s right.
I’m kind. I am not nice.
He should just become a Republican already. He’s got the credentials.
If they walk like a fuck, and talk like a fuck…
I mean, when you put it that way… Maybe the kids are alright after all.
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.
Why is Adams channeling Trump? He knows he’s black, right?b
He’s trying to prove that he’s “one of the good ones”.
Tokens get spent, especially under the Trump regime.
No such thing.
He hopes Trump can give him a presidential whitewash.
It’ll last as long as they don’t get bored with immigrants and trans folk. So like a year tops
As a immigrant trans folk this year has been the longest 5 years of my life
he wants a pardon from him. Plus his little stunt in december while making a dramatic perp walk with luigi was also to appear"strong" for trump.
He doesn’t need to get pardoned, because Trump’s DoJ moved to have the case dismissed, which it was. With prejudice.
He is like that old guy in django unchained that stays loyal to his slaver until the end. And he will die for him if need be.
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.
Tbh he should move to Turkey, he gets so many kickbacks from them.
I love the story that he was so deep up their butts and so stupidly entitled that he was asking if Turkey Airlines could fly him from New York City to Easter Island.

Nothing radicalizes you more than perpetual poverty, struggle, suffering and hopelessness. If the world wasn’t a system of tortures built by selfish billionaires, maybe we GenZ wouldn’t be so radicalized.
ACAB. Fuck this traitor
We certainly all hate Eric Adams I can tell you that
Better title: Pathetic man sees is power slipping away and lashes out.
Eric Adams is a fraud
He’s been a fraud for a long while now (probably his whole career back to NYPD, which pains me a bit to say because iirc he got his start calling out their racism), if he keeps trying to delegitimize the will of the voters like this we can start adding things like “tyrant” and “traitor” to his titles
Eric Adams is a Republican turned neoliberal Democrat.
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.
I mean, he’s mostly right.
I wish Mamdani would lean more into this, but I also get why he’s not.
Omg yes. Americans, cherish this man. Emulate his message in as many ridings as you can. If you like what he’s saying, write your local reps and tell them that.
You could have a million Mamdanis.
