I think Thompson is wishy washy and he hasn't made a stand on economic justice or as much of a stand on racial justice issues. Thompson does not support the racial profiling law. de Blasio is far more Progressive and has a track record that reflects that. So do his endorsements, of which Belafonte and Rep. Yvette Clark are the latest.
