The bird

For those who didn’t stay up until midnight, the SF Dem Party voted to solo endorse @suzyloftus for District Attorney and @VallieBrownD5 for D5 Supervisor.

Rob's comment:

Needless to say it's dumb to flip off Democrats after they refuse to endorse your candidate.

I won't vote for either Valle Brown or Dean Preston, since Brown has been in City Hall for years helping both Supervisor Mirkarimi and Supervisor Breed do dumb and damaging things to District 5 and the city (Masonic Avenue and the Nils Linke lie).

Dean Preston gets points for featuring housing as his main issue, but he's been silent on other important District 5 issues, like the Masonic Avenue bike project that was based on the safety lie. 

Trying to find out where Preston stands on other issues is difficult, since his internet presence is all about raising money and recruiting campaign volunteers, with no "issues" section we can click on.

Brown, on the other hand, does discuss the issues, albeit unconvincingly.

In short, both Brown and Preston are liberals---Preston's Bernie Sanders brand of socialism only makes him, like Sanders, a left-liberal. And both are essentially status quo candidates on local issues who will bring more of the same policy foolishness we got under Mirkarimi and Breed.
