In SF, no one calls themselves a Republican. So instead we get this weird group of people for a war on drugs, for deregulation, for ever-expanding police budgets, and for endless corporate tax breaks, who have no doubt in their mind they are on the left.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

Maybe running a campaign in SF against the most popular elected official in the history of SF wasn’t the smartest idea.

You best not miss.

Advice to the next tech or finance bro who wants to cosplay as the savior of the left: don’t.

Put your money behind an actual labor leader or community organizer instead of setting that money on fire for your own vanity.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

There might have been dumber ways to set $10M on fire, but right now I cannot think of any.

Anyway, now that we are done with the whole Saikat diversion, please vote for Connie in November.

If you don’t live in SF you didn’t pay attention when people like Elon Musk, Garry Tan, and Saikat dumped enormous sums of tech money into a local supervisor’s race to remove a tenants’ rights attorney from the board, but as a renter in that district I will never forget.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

In the past 24 hours I have gotten 3 different texts all but accusing Connie Chan of being a secret member of Likud. This last minute, dirty, false smear campaign is disgusting.

Chan voted in favor of Sup. Preston’s ceasefire resolution. Saikat donated to Preston’s opponent.

@ReidChalker @doomloopdisp When haranguing AOC for an endorsement went up in flames this became plan B. Dropsite and the Saikat campaign have been in cahoots the whole time.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

Look. I get that politics ain’t beanbag, but the last minute coordinated and false smear campaign being run against Chan by supposed journalists, left wing influencers, and Saikat campaign is some of the dirtiest shit I have seen in this town. Disgraceful.

[SFist @SFist]

There appears to have been some last-minute maneuvers happening over the weekend by supporters of Saikat Chakrabarti, and Chakrabarti himself, in an effort to tie Connie Chan to a political action committee that supports Israel. https://t.co/EQblFpqM9P

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

@DaveDumanis How can she give back money that was never given to her? She can disavow money being spent by a PAC that is not associated with her campaign—which is exactly what she did.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

Oh look. The last minute hit job by Saikat turns out to be total bullshit.

[Mission Local @MLNow]

In a bit of an October surprise, a PAC that has taken out ads for Connie Chan's congressional bid has been tied to AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby.

But Chan, who cannot control 3rd party PACs, has urged them to "respect" her pledge on rejecting AIPAC money.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

The money never went to Chan and she has disavowed it—waiting for the update/retraction.

NEW: @AIPAC has funneled hundreds of thousands to a network of PACs backing San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan in her congressional bid. Story w/@JulianAndreone https://t.co/9qbglmQ5xa

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

I’m totally used to corporate Democrats fucking over organized labor, but watching so called leftists this cycle also not give two shits about organized labor and instead cozy up to tech (supposedly somehow in the name of Palestinian rights) has been wild.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

Maybe I’m old. Maybe I’m just a longtime dues paying member of a teachers’ union. But I am baffled by the number online so called leftists who do not care whether their candidate has the backing of organized labor and instead cozy up to tech money. Leftist without labor—insane.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

@JulianAndreone @ryangrim Shill for Saikat all you want, but he has zero support from local elected progressives, zero support from local organized labor, and donated to unseat the most progressive member of the Board of Supervisors.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

Saikat donated to unseat the most progressive member of the Board of Supervisors.

He has zero support from progressive local elected officials

He has zero support from local organized labor.

No matter what hyper online leftist commentariat says, he is not the answer for SF.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

@OliverALarkin @saikatc He worked to unseat the most progressive member of the Board of Supervisors and has ZERO support from local organized labor—he is not the choice.

[Patrick Moe @MoePatrick]

The hyper online leftists all need to take a hard look in the mirror and ask themselves if shilling for a mega millionaire tech and finance bro, who is going to lose, was really worth it.
