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.
Ate those lines fed to him from the White House right up, huh.
nasty, radicalized and hate our country
Man, wouldn’t it be telling if that was a majority.
We certainly all hate Eric Adams I can tell you that
I keep hearing what these losers have to say but I don’t see Mamdami’s actual campaign articles showing what he’s doing

Media blackout. Only focus on the response to his ideas so it seems like the wave is against him and his ideas only exist to be opposed. When they spread his ideas people like them. When you only frame them by how much backlash they receive, it seems like they’re crazy
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 is some weak-ass rhetoric.
NEWS: 3rd gen of systematically disenfranchised citizens baffle leaded gasoline brained old guard and billionaire cronies
As a member of Gen X who breathed all the leaded gasoline and still finds these people appalling, I think blaming their shit on lead poisoning is giving them a pass they don’t deserve. Lead may have made us all a little dimmer and angrier, but it didn’t turn most people into raging assholes, crooks or fascists, or gullible MAGA cultists. These people would have done it anyway, with or without the lead.
Valid, but the leaded gasoline argument greatly invalidates geriatrics and the old guard to undermine everything they have to say or have ever said.
Same rhetoric Trump voters used against non-trump voters. So weak minded
If I was American, I would hate my country too and demand change.
Every accusation a confession.
Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are closer to Trump.
they been trying to get trumps attention to restart thier political career.
Adams literally has a job lined up with the administration for after he loses
Trump is explicitly holding a legal gun to his head. Adams couldn’t be any deeper in his pocket.

I don’t know, I feel like if that was the case, he would have dropped out of the race and accepted Trump’s offer of an ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia. I think he’s crazy enough to think he can beat this rap.
hes also a useful idiot for trump/gop as a token.
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…”
Real “Which Way Western Liberal?” between Eric Adams 2021 and Zohran Mamdani 2025
Nah they just don’t trust crooked Adams
