Hmmm can anyone fill us in here? What's the story?

I did a quick News search on Peskin:

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — In a move anticipated by political insiders, San Francisco Board of Supervisors President and District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin officially announced his candidacy for mayor. Peskin is a tested lawmaker with more than two decades of experience representing San Francisco voters and is considered the dominant progressive in a race crowded by moderate candidates.

While a progressive has not won the mayoral seat since Art Agnos in 1987, some political analysts say Peskin could carry enough clout to rally the city’s liberal base – around 35% of city voters – to win under San Francisco’s ranked-choice voting system.

His only good thing I can see so far is promoting historic preservation

He might just as well leave anyway, whoever they elect will be just as bad or worse. They’re brainless fools and addicts. What else would he expect?

The issue is socialism.

Musk is prepared to pull up roots if California cannot politically moderate itself.

So, here’s the deal... Peskin is nicknamed “the little Ayatollah”... he’s a doctrinaire man of the left in the mold of a Bernie Sanders... but without Bernie’s good nature. He’s also notorious for his anger issues as well as a history of alcohol abuse. He’s supposedly sober now, and I congratulate him on that if it’s true. But I certainly get where Elon is coming from on this. Peskin as Mayor would mean tripling down on the leftist agenda that brought the city to its knees.

Aaron Peskin is a doubly-Jewish name. Will that help him?

The messgage is simple. Musk has already made the decision to move X out of Californicatia. Musk never draws meaningless lines in the sand.

And because he will advance the hard left the pro Hamas crowd will be mysteriously absent from harassing him even though he is Jewish.

I understand that Peskar is an uber progressive.

"Elon Musk: 'X will leave San Francisco if Aaron Peskin is elected as mayor' "

The LEFT will use this statement as grounds for charging Elon with election tampering.
