A good rule of thumb is to shift their ratings at least 1 1/2 categories to the right to get an accurate representation. If they rate something as centrist, that guarantees it's a consistent mouthpiece for right wing views.

I mean, CNN, Politico, CNBC, etc. rated Left? That's a total joke.

No - read the quote. It's not "just tax white people in nicer neighborhoods". muriel_volestrangler Jun 2025 #84
Why even call out race then? fujiyamasan Jun 2025 #88
Because the system has been biased against non-white neighborhoods since 1981? muriel_volestrangler Jun 2025 #91
Yep. More information tulipsandroses Jun 2025 #100
So " richer and white neighborhoods" are not nicer? Nixie Jun 2025 #110
No, it's not the only nit I have to pick. See the rest of the post. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2025 #122

Question for OP. Why not post the entirety of his policy so people can have an honest robust discussion? tulipsandroses Jun 2025 #72
Rather than reading what Newsweek says (and quickly picked up by the NY Post) - I'll read and listen to Nanjeanne Jun 2025 #74
"If minorities are in those wealthier neighborhoods - then by all means tax them too" Polybius Jun 2025 #76
Can you please post the actual video/audio/tax policy paper where he says this? I've searched and can't find it Nanjeanne Jun 2025 #81
See #83 - with an excerpt leading up to the paragraph concerned (nt) muriel_volestrangler Jun 2025 #85
Thank you. The whole context is so important particularly regarding the way taxes are assessed. He is Nanjeanne Jun 2025 #89
He also says that if Benjamin Netanyahu sets foot in NYC, he will have him arrested MichMan Jun 2025 #154
For the ICC arrest warrant, of course. Sadly, the US government has decided to aid international criminals muriel_volestrangler Jun 2025 #158
That's another reason I would vote for him. The ICC issued the arrest warrants for war crimes. Nanjeanne Jun 2025 #161
Must be different in NYC MichMan Jun 2025 #166
It's not a question of whether the mayor could or could not - I applaud him for wanting to arrest a war criminal. Nanjeanne Jun 2025 #168
Did you even read the policy proposal on his website? Incanus Jun 2025 #86
I'm confused. This is about property tax. Poor people own property in more affluent neighborhoods? tulipsandroses Jun 2025 #87
