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.

    Guess what buddy, all of those so-called nasty voters are going to vote for whoever the hell they want, and you can call them names, but they don’t give a f*** what you think.

    Brit tabloid? In my news comm???

    I’m certainly biased, but why does it feel like England is the birthplace of tabloid trash reporting?

    He’s got such low numbers that it looks like the only people left supporting him are churchgoing old ladies. This would play to that crowd.

    I’m pretty sure the old always say the young hate the country.

    “Get off my lawn!” “Those youths with their [insert sexual trend here] are destroying the country.” “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” “Those young people hate the country!” “It’s Patrick, he just got life insurance.”

    Nothing like a senior citizen yelling at kids for checks notes wanting to vote for their preferred candidate.

    He is just afraid of ending in the unemployment line. As a professional politician, he has no real moneymaking skills in the real world.

    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

      I use it to describe wounds e.g., a nasty cut, or a nasty bruise. It’s also an appropriate term for something that is nauseating to see or experience.

      But thanks for the insult. Makes you seem super intelligent.

          I’m not attacking your vernacular, by the way.

          The voting public has the reading level of a third grader if we are lucky.

          Apple doesn’t use $10 words in their ads for the same reason.

          ($10 adjusted for inflation)

    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…”
