The one thing I like about De Blasio is that he's an unapologetic leftist. He's running as a proud leftie instead of hiding behind some moderate façade.
It’s true that he hasn’t renounced any of Marxist associations, but he did try to swerve to the middle on crime—in words only, of course—as soon as the primary season was over. And he dropped his opposition to the carriage horses, the least of my worries but it shows he is swayable when the unions get on his neck. I don’t trust him at all.
