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.

He ran on a policy of decarceration, rescued enforcement on quality of life crimes and an increased effort at focusing societal resources on decreasing violent crime.

I am personally skeptical that it will work but given the massive amount of racism and the epic fail of our criminal justice system to do anything about this, am willing to give his ideas a shot.

Then I encourage him to have a career in legislation. As it stands now, the results have been horrendous. Any ideology needs to be calibrated by reality, and he doesn't even seem interested in that. Grand sweeping statements, tweets about broad issues, supporting Venezuela?

Like most of our pols, he strikes me as using this position as a ladder point to the next. I really have a problem with far lefties who were all in on Venezuela, and felt no sense of internal reflection upon the results we see now. So for me, I don't want to give him a shot.

He is far too radical to go anywhere else than San Francisco politics. I guess he could be Mayor or take Scott’s seat but the big money usually swings those seats to moderates. I think his chances at State or Federal office are pretty slim to none. Maybe Congressman Boudin?
