New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, once a figure of contention among leaders from both major political parties, has seen a remarkable surge in his political standing just six months into office.
The 34-year-old democratic socialist, a prominent figure on the progressive left, has garnered unexpected praise from both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
He has also emerged as the face of the region’s sports renaissance. Now, days before New York’s primary elections,


Ratioed? Kharma’s not a thing here so who cares. And maybe I’ve just met more old people than you have.
Also your Joshua generation thing doesnt show a prevalance for idiocy in youth, just that some exists. Idiocy in the elderly is a fact of life. Brains dont get better as they age, and the context they grew up in doesnt keep up with the times they live into. I dont care if people like it, people dont get smarter or more relevant to the times as they age.
There’s not karma but it’s still a good sign of how many people disagree with your argument and experience.
Your original comment was to someone saying “there’s plenty of young fascists”. Didn’t say anything about prevalence, just that there’s enough to be a problem. That’ prevalence argument is bullshit you added. You’ve said they aren’t in charge of anything. You were given direct evidence of examples of young fascists existing and being in charge of things.

Please just go learn some basic reading comprehension. I’m not the only one to point this out.
