My thread skills are terrible btw. Life, and the esp the TL were very bad before Chesa. But he is a person who's entire being, from his parents, to his book, to his current statements, reflect a world view that IMO has very very little little positive results to show for itself

And, I'm tired of hearing about his policies. He is not meant to have policies. He is like the boss of the police. That he comports himself this way is very damaging for our polity, society, and the life of the most marginalized in this city.

Ppl act like a vote against him is a vote against social justice. I don't see a single metric that makes him look good, not from anything he has done currently, to his support in S America, to his parents. Tired of being gaslit that a vote for Chesa is a vote for soc justice /end

His entire term has been dominated by the effects of COVID. We don’t know if his policies would work or not.

Policy is not the right word imo. Not doing that which it is job to do, due to his ideology, is more accurate. Policy is not the job of a DA. Dropping crime cases that have multiple videos for evidence but no DNA, that is not policy. That is negligence.

Covid has certainly changed the landscape, but if there are 30 drug dealers who have been working on the same handful of street corners for 36 months, that is a failure of epic proportions.

Not only Chesa of course, but he has taken it and is running with it, and doesn't seem concerned with responsibility for bad results. Lots of podcasts, grand sweeping Tweets, interviews, and other celebrity shit. I want a boring a public servant who is does their job.

He really seems to be running a national campaign, which makes sense when we consider most of his donors were out of state

Getting tough on crime doesn’t reduce drug use, or decrease drug overdoses. It doesn’t even seem to reduce the price, though it does increase the potency. Public dealing is perhaps a nuisance that belongs indoors but decriminalization is the best policy.

I too am anti drugwar, but there is a diff btwn decrim and allowing people carte blanche on the streets. Many residents of the TL are less privileged than us. They don't deserve to have that in their neighborhood every day. I would hope we can recognize that together at least.

The quality of life in the TL has generally gone down while it has improved elsewhere, I agree. Or at least we agree it is worse in the TL. There are no easy answers here. Our general unwillingness as a society to tax the winners to help the poor has led to widening inequality.
