Most publications endorse politicians before elections, but The Nation magazine has now published an “unendorsement” of Mayor Bill de Blasio over his policing policies.

The venerable leftist publication supported de Blasio’s first mayoral bid in August 2013 when he was polling in fourth place.

“At the time, we were a lonely voice pronouncing his progressive potential. But de Blasio became mayor in large part on his promise to reform the NYPD,” the editors wrote Friday.

De Blasio is evidently not radical enough for the radicals.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
