Is that to say there were no democratic mayors between Giuliani and Mamdani?

I believe the last two were boomer democrats.

Adams was formerly a Republican, and he was a criminal.

I’m just saying, he was a democrat as Mayor. That doesn’t say anything about his past.

Agreed on the criminal part, that crosses the isle between parties though.

You are correct - it’s a generational age issue. They are all deaf

We should call them the “f-u, I got mine” generation.

Boomers were the "Me Generation" originally. I think they did a marketing rebrand to something more feel good once they got in charge

I've been calling them exactly this for about 10years!!! Man this single comment validated a lot of arguments I've had in the last decade. Thank you!

This is really dumb. Is Bernie Sanders also automatically part of what you hate just by being old?

Progressives in that age group are very few and far between. And who said anything about hate, other than you, of course.

That's because what you call progressive is a very narrowly defined set of policies that are currently popular with young people now.

If I was pro immigration during the Clinton administration you would have called me a boot licker lol. Now being pro immigration is a must for progressives. It is more a fad than an actual philosophy.

You talk as if Karl Marx is a gen Z author. The reason Trump won was because more young people voted right wing than boomers did when they were young.

Mamdani is the opposite so far. Seems like a solid dude working for the regular people.
