The San Francisco earthquake Tuesday should have rattled liberal Democratic politicians all over America, especially in California’s state capital and Los Angeles.
This wasn’t Frisco, Texas, after all, where most voters are Republicans. In San Francisco, Republicans make up only 7% of registered voters. Democrats are 63% of the electorate.And as happens periodically in America — including in California — a liberal politician got too far ahead of the citizenry, and the voters rebelled. Yes, it happens even in San Francisco.
“It’s a warning light” to the Democratic Party, says veteran L.A.-based Democratic strategist Garry South. “A D.A. can carry out the job with some compassion. But they’re elected to put bad guys behind bars. And if they don’t see that, and are perceived as making excuses for bad guys, they’re going to pay a price.”
What the San Francisco recall means for L.A. politics is hot fodder for speculation among political junkies. Tuesday’s voting “means that Bass has to have a strong platform about addressing crime,” says San Francisco-based Democratic pollster David Binder.
In some ways Boudin wasn’t seen and heard enough. In particular he took the support of Asian Americans for granted, refused to respond to reasonable inquiries about anti Asian violent hate crime. Voters don’t want any elected official to act like a Brahmin or a Sphinx.
Lock up the criminals, the bad guys belong in jail. San Fransisco has spoken. LA, it's your turn.
Gasvon should go next
They had enough of crime going down!!

San Francisco votes overwhelmingly to recall progressive DA Chesa BoudinBoudin sought to reform the criminal justice system, ending the use of cash bail, stopping the prosecution of minors as adults, and focused on lowering jail populations amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Do doing good is bad? Worked out real well, didn’t it? Note that most of his policies have ZERO impact on crime rates, and are broadly popular with the public. This was an attack on our elections by right wing oligarchs who funded the recall. DA policies don’t spike crime in 24 months. Recessions do.
