Liberals lie and get dummies to vote for them. Once.

Two years after becoming New York’s first Democratic mayor in 20 years, Bill de Blasio has become the target of activists and advocacy groups who helped him get elected.
The self-described progressive won their support by pledging to combat income inequality, create affordable housing, end stop-and-frisk police tactics in minority neighborhoods and ban horse carriages in Central Park.
Now the activists are confronting de Blasio, saying they’re disappointed with his performance. They’ve joined a growing list of critics, including Republicans who blame him for a rise in homelessness and an uptick in homicides, even though they remain near a record low. Then there are the tax-weary wealthy, charter-school advocates and the Times Square merchants upset about vendors and panhandlers -- whether in cartoon-character costumes or body-painted women who wear no costume at all.
Last week, about 100 people gathered in front of a midtown Manhattan hotel as lobbyists walked inside to attend a $1 million fundraiser for de Blasio’s 2017 re-election. “He’s got to go,” they chanted.
