San Francisco mayoral elections

I obviously oppose the candidate who brags about the endorsement of George Schultz.

I couldn't figure out which one this was, so I tried Googling it and found this on Kim:

California Democratic politicians are truly a bizarre type of people.

That's weird, but he endorsed Breed.

First pass through, Breed beats Leno 52-48

Yes! San Francisco is saved! Might be the one redeeming CA dem win of the night.

Leno is narrowly beating Breed 50.42-49.58% in the final round. An amazing comeback for Leno who trails by over 10 points in the previous round and wins 2nd place by only 3 points. This could beat the Oakland 2010 mayor race, where Quan was 9 points back in the 2nd to last round.

Sadly, I think Breed has to be considered the slight favorite now with the trend from the late ballots and the amount of votes left to count.

Also, it's not a mayoral election, but Mandelman easily beat Sheehy (moderate appointed by Lee) for the Supervisor position in District 8. Mandelman will be seated now, but he'll have to run again against Sheehy in November. If my count is right this should give the left faction on the Board a majority? The moderate faction won a majority in the 2016 elections (6-5) iirc but I don't know if there have been further developments since then.

And on the local referendum front, Referendum F (City-Funded Legal Representation for Residential Tenants in Eviction Lawsuits) passed!

When i hear about "moderate faction" in Sf council - i smile broadly. In almost any other city these "moderates" would be ultraliberals....)))))

But the irony is that "ultraliberal" San Francisco probably has a lot more inequality than a "conservative" Peoria or Omaha.

"Ultraliberal" SF voted for Hillary in the primary, and gave us Newsom, Harris, Feinstein, and Pelosi. SF's liberalism is MASSIVELY overrated.

Newsom, Harris, Feinstein and Pelosi are absolutely liberal in MY world....)))) Even Feinstein, and Harris and Pelosi -  very liberal))))

Dianne Feinstein is more liberal than Vladimir Putin, I'll give her that. But calling her very liberal is some crazy sh**t.
