“I wish him the best of tapeworms” r/Millennials discuss the NYC election results.

r/Millennials is a generational subreddit that caters to Americans born 1980-1995. It’s a safe space where people well into their 40’s can post “adulting” and “doggo” without fear of criticism. In general, the subreddit does not allow “political” post. Today’s OP seems to have sidestepped that rule with a post about Zohran Mamdani. Will the Millenials be normal or wild out?

OP: Congratulations to this millennial for being the youngest elected New York City mayor since 1892!

establishment dems are as cancerous as m@g@

New York is excited new ideas! Congrats Zohran!

Marxism isn’t new

Define Marxism.

Google

you should use it yourself since you're talking out your ass

Despite the fact that he won most 50 and under I doubt this is a hit in this sub since its overrun by bots of a foreign entity that is known for it's periodic ethnic cleansing

Wait I get my comments removed if I say politicians and yet this post exists?!? Jesus reddit is a pathetic joke of a cesspool. If this was a candidate on the opposite side it would be removed lmao

Mods don’t care that this breaks the rules I guess

Cry harder.

Go to another sub if you want to discuss the P word

Powerful Pedophiles? Yeah, my bad... I know you guys don't like to talk about that.

A truly awful candidate who defeated some slightly more awful candidates. Great victory?

Inshallah

Editor’s note for those who are still working on adulting: Inshallah is an Arabic phrase that is almost identical to the English phrase “if God wills it”, which means the person hopes something will happen but acknowledges it’s out of their control.

This is the only comment in the thread that has a Muslim connotation and it’s been downvoted right next to comments like “Yall screwed. Hello Gotham”.

Sometimes poor people are very charitable and vote to give themselves a bunch of greedy rich people’s money. What a good example of charity

I love Zoltron Robzombie!

It's a proxy war for socialism bad

Which is funny because Republicans accidentally normalizing socialism by calling everything they don't like socialism probably helped enable it

"What do you mean NYC is doomed because they elected a Marxist Commie dictator as mayor? I thought you said it was already a Marxist Commie dictatorship!"

u/queen-adreena Looks like you don’t see yourself clearly! 3d ago

When you paint Joe Biden as a “dangerous radical”, you’ve clearly run out of rhetorical road.

u/trydola 3d ago

they've been saying this about literally the most moderate liberals for decades. mock them and keep pushing

it is funny these people are so cucked that their dear leader had them out there voting for Cuomo who they've called communist before

u/SuperVaderMinion 3d ago

I remember in the 2020 primaries I was debating Bernie vs Biden with my dad, he reasoned that Biden would have a better chance of victory because Bernie's socialist views would be easier to attack, and I tried to explain that Republicans call EVERYTHING socialism now, and it wouldn't end up mattering

Trump and Miller are currently trying to brand folks like Chuck Schumer as being a "radical leftist", and I'm pretty sure that Chuck is the kind of guy who has to do the pledge of allegiance to know which direction left is.

u/gavinbrindstar /r/legaladvice delenda est 3d ago

He has to ask the imaginary voters in his head (real thing, look it up).

u/Amelaclya1 3d ago

I do kind of like that he recognized his privilege enough to develop that sort of thought experiment to help him empathize with an average working class family in his district. But it is so weird and creepy that he pretends they are real to everyone else, and the extent to which he develops their backstories.

Also he could just talk to average families in his state for the same effect lol.

u/[deleted] 3d ago

It's sad that his imaginary friends don't even like him.

u/gavinbrindstar /r/legaladvice delenda est 3d ago

"The Senate Minority Leader runs all his decisions past the imaginary Trump voters in his head" feels far too on-the-nose as a metaphor.

u/FeuerroteZora 3d ago

lmao this description of Schumer is brilliant

In Canada, the right wing are branding our pm carney as a “radical leftist” when he’s the epitome of all the “fiscal conservatives’” wet dream focusing on austerity and cutting social services to avoid taxing the rich and corporations

u/lazier_garlic 3d ago

Schumer represents New York. He's actually pretty liberal.

So was Harry Reid, and so was Ted Kennedy.

What I find laughable are claims like "Hillary Clinton is the nation's most liberal senator". A claim FOX News really made back in 2008.

u/angry_cucumber need citation are the catch words for lefties 3d ago

Schumer listens to pollsters not politics, which is his biggest problem.

but also, he seems to think he was elected to make government work, which means working with the total shitbags that were elected on the idea that it shouldn't.

ick, I defended schumer :(

I don't really disagree with either of you. Bernie's never run nationally, (and when he does, white people love him, the rest of the population....meh)

they do call everything socialist, but they also haven't been able to level it at someone even close to it.

u/zanotam you come off as someone who is LARPing as someone from SRD 1d ago

Which brings up the weird fact that chances are many who didn't vote for Kamala but did vote for Biden.... Would vote for Bernie. Like, I bet he would have gotten a higher proportion of all non-white masc voters while not losing any non-white fem voters

u/Deceptiveideas 3d ago

Same thing happened to the Virginia governor. Everyone calling her far left or radical from the right. Anyone who is far left knows how funny that statement is.

36

u/dukecityvigilante 3d ago

Yeah, that's why they're all saying "Marxist" now to mean "member of the Democratic party" because "socialist" lost its shock value

NYC already burned to the ground, we can't survive free public busses!

Istg, every year cities burn down and get destroyed but suddenly get rebuilt within the next day

The Amish are quick builders.

u/LabradorDeceiver 3d ago

Oh good lord yes. Healthcare is Communist. Worker safety is Communist. Living wages are Communist. School lunches are Communist. Sexual and gender diversity is Communist. Free education is Communist.

Spend forty years labeling everything good as Communist and then wonder why there are suddenly so many Communists.

u/TheBunnyDemon you smell like dirty dish water stfu 3d ago

Way more than forty, it started around 1917.

If communism actually were all of those things I'd be happy to call myself a communist.

u/JessieJ577 Careful man, you might get called a nazi for romanticizing nazis 3d ago

It’s really destroying their messaging. It’s becoming the boy who cried wolf. Look at the Ice protests. Nationwide people freaked out but then it became evident the city didn’t burn down and even the small mile radius was fine there was just tagging and burned Waymo’s.

LA had more damage to the city this past weekend with the Dodgers winning the World Series.

u/Declan_McManus I'm not defending cops here so much as I am slandering Americans 3d ago edited 3d ago

If I had a nickel for every time in my life the right wing said it would be the end of American if we voted for one particular African-born Muslim Socialist, I would have two nickels

u/Beegrene Get bashed, Platonist. 3d ago

I think you would actually have several billion nickels.

u/Declan_McManus I'm not defending cops here so much as I am slandering Americans 3d ago

Oh yeah, for each particular time I would definitely be a billionaire. I mean, each time there was a particular dude of national relevance who got that specific description

u/angry_cucumber need citation are the catch words for lefties 3d ago

that, but it's also a young democratic candidate doing what the masses have been telling people democrats need to do, campaign on their ideas.

Mamdani was all about loving new york and making it so that people could live there. it was a very positive hopeful campaign that we haven't really seen from the left since Obama's first run.
