#2This SF district attorney recall thing is a really good example of the media's power to manufacture a story. Even if you accept the premise that crime stats rise or fall in response to DA policies, those stats mostly fell during Boudin's tenure.
But if you show the video of someone robbing a convenience store (in oakland! another city entirely!) enough times on loop, you can convince enough voters that Something Must Be Done.

The number of employees who quit the DA’s office because of Chesa was not manufactured, and is ultimately why I voted the way I did.

It seems that the people of SF don't agree with you. Crime didn't fell, prosecutions did. It is like the Trumpian 'if you don't test, then covid doesn't exist'.

In what way does this give you hope that the right is moving more center?

If you don't prosecute anyone, crime stats fall. Why? Because nobody will care to report crimes knowing they will not be prosecuted.
