@barakgila @PippengerHarlo Hurabiell’s backers aren’t consolidating behind Wiener after she blamed him for child rape

@RileyTX @ludicplayer @Mike_from_PA If you believe Saikat accidentally made millions off the Israeli military because he didn't understand how his own index funds work, it's no wonder he lost so badly.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@RileyTX @ludicplayer @Mike_from_PA It’s basic math: you don’t win a federal seat by alienating the federal party. Locking down the establishment and labor backing is the smart thing to do and what a serious candidate has to do to keep a progressive voice in the room. Why did Saikat invest millions in Blackstone?

@shlumpsters @RileyTX @HolierThanMao Saikat is currently losing all 501 precincts in SF. If you can't carry a single precinct, that tells you how brutal this loss is.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@RileyTX @shlumpsters @HolierThanMao Y’all gonna be so disappointed lol but keeping holding out hope

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@shlumpsters @RileyTX @HolierThanMao She’s ahead by 15%

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@RileyTX @shlumpsters @HolierThanMao Chan meanwhile:

"This scorched earth style of campaigning is only going to split the progressive movement and help Wiener, who must be celebrating early," writes Tim Redmond.

@JRVenegas3 @sfchronicle @NYCMayor @DanielLurie What do you mean? Saikat voted for Lurie, and during a forum last February, Saikat remarked that Mayor Lurie 'has been okay.' https://t.co/qG46DnIluG

Sam Lauter told @EmmaAudreyGoss @jewishsf
Rep. Lois Frankel who chairs EDW asked DMFI for help with two candidates in So Cal & Nebraska

They did polling for those campaigns, an in-kind contribution of $37,000

They did nothing for Connie Chan or in CA11

@jrbrewer @Mike_from_PA @katewillett Would you consider Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to be Zionists just because Nancy Pelosi endorsed them, which Omar touts on her campaign site? https://t.co/1YN05WKf4b

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@jrbrewer @Mike_from_PA @katewillett Yes, the Zionist world at large is backing the candidate who voted for SF’s historic Gaza ceasefire resolution, publicly demands a U.S. arms embargo on Israel, and has a strict, public pledge never to accept a dime of AIPAC money.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@fool_river @KimChiSpicey @saikatc And it’s not even about what I have personally seen. It’s about the fact that the reporting fails to produce any evidence of they are claiming exists in Chan’s favor. Pointing out that a story lacks a smoking gun isn't a conspiracy.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@fool_river @KimChiSpicey @saikatc The "conspiracy theory" is claiming a massive, invisible $475k ad campaign flooded the airwaves without leaving a single trace of actual media in the real world. If a PAC spends half a milion on ads, those ads have to exist somewhere.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@fool_river @KimChiSpicey @saikatc If half a million was actually spent, there would be a paper trail of it. A chart showing bank transfers doesn't change the fact that no one has seen these alleged ads, and the reporting provides zero evidence that they even exist.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@fool_river @KimChiSpicey @saikatc Linking to FEC receipts just proves that PACs transferred money to each other. Nobody is disputing that bank accounts exist or that PACs shift cash around. The issue is that the final step on that graphic, the actual "proof of spending" shows zero product.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@jrbrewer @Mike_from_PA @katewillett When it comes to real world impact, actions and results matter far more than endorsements. Chan has a record consistent pro-Palestine advocacy at City Hall, whereas Saikat has no record of saying/doing anything regarding the genocide until after he launched his campaign last year

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@fool_river @KimChiSpicey @saikatc Nobody said ML is owned by him. The point is that they explicitly stated they got this story from Ryan Grim's piece at Drop Site. They just took that article and drew a graphic for it. Reprinting the same circuitous money trail still doesn't prove an ad campaign exists.

[AnonSFan @kestleton]

@fool_river @KimChiSpicey @saikatc ML explicitly states in their article that this money trail was "first reported by Drop Site News on Saturday". Their report, and the graphic Kelly Waldron drew for it, is just a visual translation of Ryan Grim’s original piece and has same flaw: no evidence of the ads produced.
