Benjamin Tisch’s shot at Mamdani during the Met Council gala comes just two weeks after his sister accepted Mamdani’s offer to remain at the helm of the NYPD.
“The two of us will not shy away from the fact that we hold disagreements on certain issues … but I also believe that these disagreements are not only reconcilable, but they are the sign of a healthy partnership to come,” the mayor-elect said in an interview with The News last month.
These are the kind of ghouls you want to work with if your plan is to sabotage yourself out of the gate. 
Mamdani is making the same mistake Corbyn made with the Labour right.
He should purge every single last person that would be unloyal. They will all work against him behind the scenes otherwise.
Mamdani refusal to act against Tisch and her private army should have laid to rest any “leftists” hope of him enacting any real policy that could challenge the status quo.
This is my stance on Mamdani. I don’t really care about the latest thing he did or did not do, because he’s already done enough to prove to me that he’ll ultimately be ineffective. It sucks, but it’s entryism.
I’m pretty much the opposite. Until he actually gets into office, we’re just talking about takes.

He has committed to keeping Tisch as commissioner, that’s not just a take.
As others have pointed out, if you’re going to piss off the police, at least get in power first. His commitment isn’t indefinite, either, and firing her after an inevitable police screw-up could better minimize reaction.
Why does it matter if you piss of the police day 1 or a couple months before?
he’s not in office yet and he needs to not get murdered by them lmao
Then he should probably not leave the person who seems to want him and everyone like him dead in charge of them lol.
Yeah great point firing her should be a priority when he has the legal authority to do so.
Would you want your enemies to know you’re coming for them? Or would you prefer them to be at ease?
I’m agnostic on the matter. It’s to be determined as far as I’m concerned. Some people say it’s to avoid a kind of first strike from the police, others say it’s obvious lib shit. Could literally be either at this point so all we’re doing is arguing about something we’ll have definitive evidence for soon enough.

That’s fair. It’s just that all the arguments for why it doesn’t matter that he’s been walking back rhetoric tend to feel like “he’s hiding his power level”. It makes much more sense that he was never actually very radical, and some of the people who supported him were, so that radicalism was projected onto him (not just by his supporters). I suppose, as you say, we’ll see.
He should have simply not chosen to rehire her. Every mayor chooses their own police commissioner, he just chose the continuity
I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure you don’t get to hire and fire people before your statutory term in office. Eric Adams is still the Mayor until the end of the month.
He’s planted his flag in the sand, he announced his intention to hire her early for a reason
People are doubting your proposed reason. It’s like you didn’t even read my original comment. Reasserting your take on his motivations does not settle the matter.
Keep staking out that bold campaign promise of free frog transit for scorpions
Idk maybe they just need a few more compromises and he’ll get the respect of the nypd and Zionists in ny
But imagine if she WASN’T in charge of the world’s largest domestic military! Wouldn’t that be so dangerous for Mamdani?
Imagine how dangerous it would be for him to actually act against his political opponents? Unthinkable! Then the Democrats might actually purge him, and it would be harder for him to do entryism into the “graveyard of social movements” party.
just fire her man
He didn’t even have to hire her again, he chose to hire her as a signal to Capital, to Zionism, to Trump that he won’t rock the boat too much
mamdani is robert baratheon
this exact thing happened in game of thronesrly mks u thnk
charismatic leader
keeps enemies close
brother hates him
every lord hates him
just wants free
winebuseshis best pal is a washed norm enjoyer in far away frozen land
Whens mamdani gonna get incredibly fat
2nd term
what would be his breastplate stretcher
bodega stretcher?
Robert managed to remain a unifying figure from the rebellion all the way up until his death, shit only went to pieces when he wasn’t around anymore and his successors started fucking things up. There were a lot of schemers in his court to be sure but he slapped them down whenever they got too threatening.
Yeah he’s definitely Dinkins 2.0 will probably also lose reelection to a cop
In this case, it appears that Mamdani is the one who fell for it.
