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.

I’m not a Gen Z voter, so I certainly can’t speak for them, but I hate our country. I hate that so many Americans are being left behind. I hate that we are falling so far behind other democracies. I hate that our democracy is so flawed and corrupted, that I’m not sure it’s accurate to even call it a democracy anymore. I hate that so many Americans believe that being greedy, selfish, and indifferent to human suffering is not only acceptable, but somehow “rational.” I hate the manipulation and the misinformation that is very intentionally disseminated to the American people. I hate the violence, I hate the war mongering and war profiteering. I hate a lot of what IS right now, because I DEMAND better for myself and ALL other Americans.
i am a gen z voter and although i dont live in nyc (i live in ny state tho so close enough i guess), i was gonna leave a separate comment. but you said pretty much exactly what i was thinking 🤷 i hate the selfishness that’s been so ingrained in people, they’d rather perpetuate cruelties than hope for anything even slightly better. i hate this country? what has this country ever done for me, a woman of color, other than prove time and again that everything i have can be taken away in an instant due to the greed of the rich and spiteful? this shit is all so fucked, if my so called “hatred” for this country is the only thing i can truly own, then let me own it with all my heart. i’d rather that than submit to apathy and ignore the struggles of those around me
You don’t hate our country, you said so yourself - you hate what it is right now, because you know it can be better. You want it to be better. That’s not hate, that’s love.
The deepest love you can have for your country is wanting better for all its residents.
What about when I turn the lights down low… light a candle… put on the Kenny g…
I think they hate it because they know it better.
I don’t respect anyone who isn’t radicalized at this point. To look at the state to which our system is broken and not demand change by whatever means necessary is to be complicit in the atrocities being committed.
