Of all the post election tweets I have seen trying to explain why the SF left keeps losing elections, it’s this one. (Screenshot because this account blocked me because of good faith debate)
Good governance and pro strong-mayor Measure EE is passing in Oakland at 73%, championed by progressive Mayor Barbara Lee. Oakland also has a 10% threshold of voters to get propositions on the local ballot (15% for charter amendments) vs San Francisco's more permissive 8% (1/2)
I understand many on the far left in SF are upset about Lurie and Weiner. You all ran Peskin and Chan as opponents. People want housing, and they want well running government. NY and LA left-leaning Mayors offer this and got elected. The lesson here should be obvious… (1/2)
Prop 40 failed because it is bad policy, was poorly written (allowing the legislature to update the terms) and had no legal enforcement of being a "one time" tax. Texas showed us money can't buy elections and voters are not stupid. sfchronicle.com/politics/joe…
@DanWheeler4SF blocked me so I gotta screenshot this banger from him yesterday. He asks if there is a more evil politician than Scott Weiner. This is coming from someone ride or die for Connie Chan and progressive messaging. So if you think SCOTT is more evil than Trump..
Poor @DanWheeler4SF doesn't like being called out for his "guarantee" that Chan would win the election. Poor sport really. If you are going to make election predictions like that, and miss so widely, you are due a little jesting - would go for myself included!
"Wiener will not win the general election. I guarantee it." Do I get any money back from reading through the months and months of unhinged tweets?

UESF's slate for the SF Board of Education is not going to get a single candidate across the line. Thank goodness.
Credit where credit is due. Current D10 Supervisor Walton is on the Bay Area Air District board and is fighting against the utterly stupid gas heater ban that will 1000% negatively impact poor and elderly home owners. Not a fan of his otherwise, but here a big thumbs up

If you want to understand why SF leftists keep losing the majority of causes and candidates in their elections it’s because they are so far down the rabbit hole they think the Great Highway issue is a grand conspiracy theory. You can’t make this stuff up.

It always amazes me how the local left (in this case an extremely ideological non-profit) refuses to embrace good governance reforms. Voters understand the need. Lurie isn't winning because people like billionaires, it's because people like his IDEAS.
San Francisco elections:
Now were *all* in the "March for Billionaires."
@esksf on San Francisco's doubling down on its new Gilded Age as the nation sweeps left.

Following up my last retweet - FYI bike free JFK is a "right-wing project". You can't make this stuff up.
Bike Lanes Are White Lanes seems like a great book. I just ordered one!
It’s about the racist impacts of urban planning for bike infrastructure, and how affluent white bike bros turned something seemingly good into a weapon for gentrification and displacement.
The author is even a cyclist who supports bike infrastructure.
This is a full leftists have jumped the shark moment. This would be funny if it were not so sad.
