“Progressive parroting”, Chris? Yeah, right. Who is this other Starchild you are talking about? I’ve never met them.
I’m guessing you are unaware that the LPSF has recommended voting for Joel Engardio in the past. (And guess who “discovered” him and invited him to speak to our group?) Aubrey (who put in the most hours), Marcy, and I, possibly one or two others, actively volunteered walking precincts for him. I didn’t this time, because since then he has sadly gotten more in bed with the SFPD (aka "authoritarians who want more control”). Even if I expect he’ll be worse than most of the board on police issues however, he’ll likely be the best of them on many other issues, and I think a respectable argument could have been made for our recommending a vote for him over progressive Gordon Mar. I’m glad he got elected, and think it will be mostly good for liberty on balance.
But of course Joel is a Democrat, not a Libertarian. Is it your position this week that it’s okay for us to support Democrats after all?
Love & Liberty,

As we’ve seen, the progressives in SF are basically authoritarians who want more control. Parroting their ineffective slogans will just push the LPSF into more of an irrrelevant position. As I’ve tried this past year to attract more moderate people to the LPSF, please read this article about the zeitgeist in SF. Notice who his supporters are? Yep. You can see just like me. The LPSF needs diversity and the way to achieve it is through moderate policies, not the progressive parroting that Starchild advocates.SFGATE – 7 Dec 22 https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/sf-joel-engardio-discusses-priorities-17635022.php?IPID=SFGate-HP-CP-Spotlight
