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.

    you have no regard for the civility

    I don’t know under what rock he’s lived for the past 10 years, but civility in politics has been quite thoroughly killed by Trump and his lackeys, which now seems to include Adams. He picked the side of no civility, so he’s reaping what ue sowed.

    Adams accused left-leaning schools and institutions of radicalizing young people, claiming they are being taught to hate their city and country, which is a trend, he says, that must be addressed.

    Again, Trump is doing that. He’s running on a platform of hating about half of all Americans, and especially coastal cities.

    That country is never going back. Once the politicians doing this shit becomes the norm, it’s all over.

        It’s something that used to be said on occasion and shock people and now it’s just expected. So… yeah, pretty much now.

          Just reread your comment and that was already what you were saying. I was trying to be funny, thereby adding nothing and potentially confusing other readers, including myself.

          I’ll show myself out.

    It should be etched in law that it’s prohibited to call the voters of your rival anything bad as it only serves to cause a division in the country.

      I like the idea, but the First Amendment exists so idiots can say dumb things like this out in the open and we can all point and laugh.

      Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

        “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

            Nearly 3 million more people voted for her than Trump. Ithe hard to say any 1 thing was the reason. It’s just as easy to say there was a percentage of the population that wouldn’t vote for a woman and that flipped enough purple states at the time.

    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.

    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?

        In terms of its physical size when it was still in print, the newspaper did adopt a compact, tabloid format. This could be the reason people think it’s an actual tabloid. Using that format is a great way to get many people to look down on your publication.

        As Far as credibility goes, they are left center (so not as unbias as they could be) and they have been known to misreport things… but who hasn’t?

        Media Bias Fact Check gives them a rating of “Medium Credibility” https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-independent/

        That said, compared to News here in Canada; CTV, CBC, and Global all have a better rating than the Independent.
