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.

      because “we’re better than republicans” was good enough for 2-3 prior generations but the latest arent having it. the (lack of) response to trump and co. and Israel’s genocide makes it very hard to keep up the illusion that both sides arent haven’t been the same for a long time (Cheney endorsement at DNC last year made that more obvious than ever, i hope…).

      neolibs and the GOP have been ratfucking this country clean without stopping a beat for the last…30 years (and a lot longer than that, neolibs just made it less sustainable) and they still think they can go back to that when trump dies

          …because “he had a D by his name” was good enough for NYC, at one point.

          it’s not anymore

          if Dem’s lose NYC, they can lose anywhere…
