(4,575 posts)He is the same now as he was when he was elected. Calling him a radical is disingenuous at best and dirty and dishonest at worst. His parents were radicals who spent the majority of his life in prison. They did not raise him. It is completely unfair to put the sins of the parents upon the child.
This recall effort started after he had only been in office a few months. They were no stats about blaming him for rising crime then.
If anything, Tuesday's recall reveals that in fact maybe some of those who had buyer's remorse were in fact fake social justice warriors and fake progressives just trying to make themselves feel better by voting for Chesa Boudin and that effecting any kind of real change is just too much for them.
This country is on an ugly descent into fascism. Tuesday was certainly a victory for that.
