Let’s be clear. Language from white people about the need for husbands to protect their wives from crime is code language that has justified police brutality, mass incarceration, and the killing of Black people in this country for centuries.https://www.sfgate.com/bay-area-politics/article/Chesa-Boudin-San-Francisco-crime-KKK-tweet-aide-16296205.php …
BLM SF did not support Gascon because he was too conservative in SF - he wouldn’t prosecute police shootings, mainly. Source: I worked on then-SFDA Gascon’s re-election campaign as a consultant before he dropped and moved to LA. Check for Foglight Strategies in campaign records

(1/x) He dropped out and moved to LA bc he was going to lose in SF. Everyone in SF knows this. He didn’t even have the courage to be honest w his staff about it and used his mom as a scapegoat for why he couldn’t work as much anymore.

(2/x) You’re right that he wasn’t as far to the left in SF as he is now, but that’s not why he wasn’t going to be re-elected. He wasn’t going to be re-elected bc he had a ton of baggage and his policies weren’t working. People were over it.
