New York's socialist mayoral frontrunner appeals to youthful idealism, say the media. In truth, he appeals to their entitlement and envy.

Like Mamdani himself, his most vocal supporters grew up in comfort and were told they were exceptional. They were shielded from the

New York's socialist mayoral frontrunner says his policies will lower housing and food prices, and reduce crime and disorder. They won't. They'll increase them. The reason he won is because he pandered to young voters afflicted by envy, entitlement, and willful ignorance.

The statement and the conversation it replies to engage in public discourse by discussing political issues and the characteristics of a political candidate and their supporters. The tone is critical and somewhat dismissive, focusing on perceived entitlement and ignorance among young voters. The reply attempts to counter this narrative by highlighting a coauthor as a 'non-entitled Millennial,' which may aim to challenge stereotypes.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The original statement by @shellenberger could be seen as harmful by generalizing and negatively characterizing a group of people, potentially violating the principle of doing no harm. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement may not fully respect the dignity of others by labeling young voters as entitled and ignorant, which could be seen as a form of stereotyping. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The reply attempts to promote understanding by challenging the stereotype of Millennials as entitled, aligning with the principle of promoting empathy. [+1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The original statement engages in personal attacks by generalizing negative traits to a group, which does not align with constructive criticism. [-1]
