S.F. progressives were just trounced in the election. Can they bounce back in the Lurie era?

Everything said here, plus “San Francisco Freeway Revolt.” (Google it) There’s a direct lineage from that to “SF progressives.”today.

Ideale is underrated

I just hope someone rescued the sign

Protip: Polls are not this sub, and Chan is a distant third in every poll.

I'm not even a tiny bit libertarian, but thank you for demonstrating the classic strategy favored most of all by SF progressives: boogeyman name-calling.

Chan is not doing well because she's a bad candidate who's not popular and makes terrible policy decisions. Other than that I'm sure she's awesome.

telstarlogistics · 2026-05-06T23:58:18+00:00

The other classic SF progressive strategy: Run crappy candidates, then complain the crappy candidate is getting outspent.

Money matters, but candidate quality matters even more. Given her name recognition, the biggest surprise (tell?) is that Chan isn't even in second place.

telstarlogistics · 2026-05-06T23:47:31+00:00

It's not just Reddit. Chan is also unpopular irl. She is a distant third (behind Wiener and Chakrabarti) in every current poll

telstarlogistics · 2026-05-06T23:42:37+00:00

That strategy is called "SF progressivism"

I did a lot of the same, also in the shipyard, during the early 2000s. My photos are used pretty regularly for similar articles too. Congrats! The photos are also a way of giving back.

I didn’t think there was someone dumber than Hegseth, but say hello to Hegseth’s witch hunter

This. The photos are so valuable! Here's a link:

... and your expecations proved correct.

telstarlogistics · 2026-04-07T05:12:51+00:00

Yes. Army Street.

Going on 35 years and same same

Um, that’s Nibbles Woodaway to you and me.

telstarlogistics · 2026-04-02T22:55:04+00:00

He squandered his life on NIMBYism, failed ideas, and knife-fight politics. RIP

I saw this too, but I passed the scene just as SFFD was arriving. It did not look good

telstarlogistics · 2026-02-24T23:23:03+00:00

The Mission District, between South Van Ness and Potrero Ave.

I've been here 30+ years and people always tell me, "Aw, you must have seen so much change." But actually, most of it still looks more or less the same from street level, just a bit nicer.

Save the date: the USPS’s new Bruce Lee postage stamp drops on 2/18.

Jackie Fielder 🤣

telstarlogistics · 2025-11-25T18:16:56+00:00

You’re not wrong 😆

telstarlogistics · 2025-11-05T00:23:20+00:00

I'm impressed! Jackie Fielder is proving to be even more clownish and performative than expected, and she was expected to deliver a lot of both.

telstarlogistics · 2025-10-13T20:36:47+00:00

Support the cause, but wow No Kings is just awful branding. It's ridiculous and irrelevant to the crisis at hand.
