is the one with the least progressive agenda (out of the so-called progressives), that means he is the one that is trying to split the progressive vote just like the Rent Is Too Damn High guy was sent in to steal attention from Credico last election. Thompson has rescinded his stance against Stop and Frisk which is very important to New Yorkers; we're thinking Thompson is manipulated and attempting to appeal to the petite bourgeoisie and split them against the poor black and latino vote.

Thompson is known for his corruption as controller and his terrible career connections to anti-labor embezzling man named Corbett Price who also funds his campaigns. Thompson comes from an underwriting firm called George K. Baum & Co where he illegally sold unlicensed securities. Seymour Zises, a Bernie Madoff gang banker has given a considerable donation to Thompson... And when Thompson promised to donate the money to a charity--he never did. Also despite having a backing from the Teachers Union, Thompson seems to be very cozy with charter school backers who want to destroy public education.

Face it, Thompson is Wall Street's black face, he is a complete centrist and nothing he promises will be fully incorporated.
