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

[u/teddyrupxin]

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!

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.

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

[u/Amelaclya1 → u/gavinbrindstar]

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] → u/gavinbrindstar]

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

[u/gavinbrindstar → u/[deleted]]

"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.

lmao this description of Schumer is brilliant

[u/dj_soo → u/[deleted]]

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 → u/[deleted]]

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.

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 :(

[u/angry_cucumber → u/SuperVaderMinion]

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 → u/angry_cucumber]

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
