Massey and Malliotakis come from different
wings of the Republican Party,
with Massey a moderate billing himself as a «non-political» technocrat open to «ideas from across the political spectrum,» in the Michael Bloomberg mold; while Malliotakis — as evidenced by her support from the Conservative Party — is further to the right, though she has also claimed to not easily fit into any ideological
orthodoxy.
I tend to have left
wing views on most issues, but I have never been comfortable
with the
orthodoxy (which most of the Socialist movement shares
with extreme right
wing neo-liberals) that open borders and population growth are inherently good things.
