because "we're better than republicans" was good enough for 2-3 prior generations but the latest arent having it. the (lack of) response to trump and co. and Israel's genocide makes it very hard to keep up the illusion that both sides ~~arent~~ haven't been the same for a long time (Cheney endorsement at DNC last year made that more obvious than ever, i hope...).
neolibs and the GOP have been ratfucking this country clean without stopping a beat for the last..30 years (and a lot longer than that, neolibs just made it less sustainable) and they still think they can go back to that when trump dies
Ok but what does that have to do with NYC electing Adams?
...because "he had a D by his name" was good enough for NYC, at one point.
it's not anymore
if the DNC losed NYC, they can lose anywhere...it's a message noone should be able to ignore
As someone who grew up in a conservative environment and a Gen Z myself, I think of it like this: When I was old enough to vote, I was just beginning to understand what the democratic side advocated and stood for - in short, human rights just made sense as apposed to recycling the same ideas the conservatives have had. Fast forward a few years and paying closer attention to politics because it’s hard to look away when it affects the very fabric of your life - I now understand the democratic side is a big pond. You have the old liberals who like Harris and Biden, and are okay with a conservative but slightly forward touch to things, and then you have the younger liberals who lean heavily socialist and environmentally cautious. We are ones who would absolutely vote for the Green Party in California if we had faith they would actually win against the billionaire influence. We want trains, clean energy, free healthcare, livable wages. We do NOT want our resources wasted on wars and lining the pockets of the rich while the general environment slowly or not so slowly kills us. We do not want for profit prisons, hospitals, or pharmacies. In short- Gen Z liberals are the true future of America if we don’t all die before then
