A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

He never ran on replacing Tisch. He planned to sideline NYPD by expanding social worker sector. Might as well be disappointed that he didn't implement Shakira law.
Every new mayor picks their own police commissioner.
Keeping Adams's billionaire scion at the head of the agency full of people who hate you the most is a dangerous play
Yes, I know he can replace her. I also would like it more if he had the balls to do it. But saying he caved to the NYPD is delusional.
Maybe "caved" is the wrong word. But he's been very non-confrontational. Maybe that's a strategy. Maybe that's just a fight he doesn't think he can win. Maybe he's legitimately intimidated by the NYPD after how they roughed up de Blasio's daughter. Idk.
But keeping Tisch around when he could have appointed his own Chief, especially after the scandals Tisch has covered up, is a concession to the NYPD that plenty of people consider a mistake.
I completely agree with you on that.
