That’s why they believe in Magic Fair Dust Energy (wind, solar) and electrifying everything. It can happen overnight, will be perfectly clean, won’t cost a cent more than what we are paying, will provide power 24x7. You don’t find many liberal kook engineers because engineers are paid big bucks to understand and design around cause and effect.

AND give “just a little more power” to federal government. Because NO ONE ELSE can do it.

“The Tenderloin area of SF was always questionable. True. The area was called “Tenderloine” because the police in the 1930’s were given steaks and told to ignore the crimes. In 1950 Fr. Boedekker started a soup kitchen on 121 Golden Gate Ave in the Tenderloine and continues to serve 3,000 meals daily. Today, the area is full of tents and losers. San Francisco needs more loyal Catholics and less deviants.

I’ve never been there and with any kind of luck, I never will.

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Seema Gokhale who lives near the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood expressed, “It really feels post-apocalyptic. Something needs to be done.

News Digital should have asked Seema Gokhale who she’s voted for since she’s been old enough to vote.

a minority of registered voters religiously vote and keep electing the same idiots and ideology over and over and over.

Sorry to have to ask, but why do you say “a minority of registered voters”?

An inborn trait of “liberals” is that they are incapable of connecting dots. Cause and effect is a foreign concept to them.

Things just happen.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That is indubitably true, and it boggles the mind how anyone can be so imbecilic, yet it’s a common characteristic of Leftists everywhere.

I recall Michael Savage taking a lot of hits at FR when he called out what was happening to San Fran some 20 years ago.

Michael Savage was an intellectual giant under relentless attack by intellectual midgets.

No problem to ask. Most elections these days have 35-45% of registered voters actually vote. It only takes a "simple majority" of those who do vote to elect a person or pass/turn down an initiative.

Doing the math, if 35% vote, all it takes is 18% of all registered voters to be that "simple majority".

That's a minority of voters in my opinion.

Borders, language, culture.

All worth defending.

Opposite of broken windows policy in New York City under Rudy Giuliani. Anything goes in S.F. and Portland, you see what's happening right now.

NYC was bad in the '70s and '80s but went through gentrification under Giuliani and Bloomberg.

I think about 65% of eligible voters cast ballots in the 2020 election, but I know the percentages are much lower in most other elections.
