It's a valid point. Vote him out next time. The city voted to try something new. If it fails, we'll try something else. That's literally how you figure out what works.

When do we get to vote the SFPOA out?

What candidate is in the picture that dares cross any entrenched corrupt power?

Boudin is not an entrenched power. The cops don't like him. I don't think City Hall likes him. He's the outsider and so far he doesn't seem to be winning many allies.

Whenever one gets elected to office in SF without kissing ass at the DCCC, there is a target on one's back: Tony Hall, Ed Jew, Ross Mirkarimi while city famiglia sanctioned corruption proceeds uninterrupted.

I agree our city politics are rife with corruption. I blame an uninformed populace which enables the small number who are passionate to gain power and the boring bureaucracy to run amok. Feels bigger than party to me. But you could be right.

In a one-party town, the opposite ideology often cohabitates with elements of the dominant ideology in a peace and stability pact, peace and stability for for-profit and non-profit corporations and the cops. The rest of us are on our own.

Then organize a party. I don't think of SF as a one party. I think of it as a battle ground between progressives and centrists with a bunch of libertarian millionaires throwing money around to get their way.

SF's politics involve the hooking up for-profit and non-profit private corporations to public revenue streams and entitlements. That's how government rolls in neoliberal capitalism. The only quibble is over who gets paid.

Agree. Our politics is broken. We incentivize power over governance. Problem across all democracies.

We incentivize profit over everything else. That is all.
