SF DA Chesa Boudin Recalled

[dC0m]

I know many of us probably don't live (or care for) San Francisco elections; but a huge win for the community:

TLR; With over 50% of ballots in and 60% of voters voting "yes" on the recall, Chesa Boudin has ceded defeat.

Look this guy up; came from an interesting background (parents were radicals/criminals), was at odds with the Mayor and Police rank-and-file towards the end of his tenure, and the first local recall election since 1983.

So Soros hung him out to dry? Got the guy in but couldn't... or wouldn't save him?

I am sure Soros threw money at it - in the past 5 weeks, there have been billboards, mail ads, and commercials all across the city at attempts to buying this proposition. Meanwhile, it's been pretty quiet on the support the recall side.

I guess the people of SF finally saw through the BS and is tired of the real "pandemic" that is crime - and the subpar DA that refuses the hold criminals accountable.

So what now? Is SF going to elect a new DA or will it be another POS liberal appointed into the seat?

So the Mayor can reappoint this price of work. ??

Blames his loss on Republican billionaires. He's too smug, obtuse or arrogant to see that he alone is the cause.

"he alone is the cause"

Um, what about the people who elected this person? Are you saying that they don't bear any blame for the destruction he committed on the city?

Honestly, the city has been going down the tubes for a LONG time and he's just the logical extension of this decline, one could even say he is the personification of the ideology of the young pioneers [progressive 'new' democrats]. But there is still a very significant 'old liberal' [aka hippies] population in S.F. and it's they who are [oddly enough] trying to keep they city from destroying itself by going 'too crazy'.

Here's an article in the atlantic [of all places] which documents the above pretty well:
