They've become quite skilled at mis-naming propositions and giving out bogus information to make you think it's a worthy thing to sign up for.
A paragraph from the San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters:
If this recall succeeds, it will vindicate the "democracy disruption" playbook of Billionaire Venture Capitalists who, unable to win elections with actual candidates due to San Francisco's progressive voting blocs, can instead spend their unlimited money on a recall and get their sympathetic mayor to appoint someone they like better, no election necessary!

Similar information at Bay Guardian:
or starters, it’s a recall just a few months before a regular election. All three board members named in the recall would have to face the voters in November, 2022 anyway; if you don’t like them, run against them.
Recalls ought to be reserved for situations where an elected official has committed clear misconduct in office and has at least two years left on their term. This is an undemocratic waste of money.
Plus, the biggest financial backers of this recall have a larger agenda than whether some public schools should have their names changed, or what rules teachers and students should follow in a global pandemic. Billionaire Arthur Rock, who has no kids, put almost $400,000 into one of the recall committees. He’s a big fan of charter schools—that is, of school privatization. The California Association of Realtors, which has never shown any interest in supporting public education (for example, by modifying or repealing Prop. 13) put up $90,000.

I guess I should've posted all this BEFORE the election, not after it.
