4. I like that Dems, at least, show the ability to course-correct

I wish Republicans would do that, then we wouldn't be stuff giving power to loons flirting with fascism.

6. Indeed

And it's also a false choice to say we have to choose between criminal justice reform and public safety. We can have both. We need both.

8. Yay!!! Finally! He's been destroying dems and the party brand

Extraordinary incompetence that cost livelihoods. Dems working in DA office left by the dozens since he “reformed” the institution. I literally don’t know a single progressive dem over 30 in SF who wouldn’t be repulsed by him. I personally despise politicians like him. Kamala Harris was arguably the best DA in SF and a gold standard, frankly - tough as nails on criminals, trusted by community. Politicians like Budin are destroying democratic party, I hope he will have no political future, better yet sued by the victims. We don’t need phonies like him, certainly nowhere near DA office.

10. The guy wasn't even liberal .....

The guy was a Marxist in theory. His parents were radicals from the 60's is what I believe my friend who lives in San Francisco told me. Good grief.

I'm liberal, but not a Marxist. He wouldn't even prosecute where there was overwhelming evidence that a crime was committed. Kamala Harris told those who were speaking about putting him into that office to please NOT do that. He's bad news. She was right. He had to go.

This country's being shot up, people being slaughtered by mostly right-winged nazi types, and the GQP US Taliban party is just FINE with that.

9. Good move - I love San Francisco - I'd live in a yurt if I could

live in that city but couldn't afford to buy a place to put it.

11. TERRIFIC and Gascon is probably next. nt

[AlexSFCA]

12. SF couldn't get rid of him soon enough, then he leeched into LA

[Raine]

13. Hopefully LA will follow SF lead & send him packing. nt
