This feels pretty unnecessarily pointed while simultaneously kind of at odds with the point you're arguing in the next paragraph. It's not like San Jose isn't also a strong dem city. Shouldn't the apparent success you're pointing out in SJ while they struggle in SF indicate that the issue is specific to SF rather than a "tribal" concern?
- darth_avocado 3y agoRight, the point I was trying to make is that success or failures happen regardless of who’s in power. But they don’t get discussed as such. Criticism of SF often pulls plenty of people to defend or even dismiss the actual reality because for some, accepting reality also means accepting flaws in their beliefs.
