US

President: Joe Fuckface Biden He fucking sucks. Fuck this fucking piece of shit. Please vote for him and then if he wins, immediately start throwing things at him. He’s awful. But VOTE FOR HIM NONETHELESS!!!
House: Nobody Barbara Lee is too comfortable, getting outflanked on the left by newer reps.

California

Prop 14: NO Don’t subsidize big pharma unless you also tax it back
Prop 15: YES Large commercial properties should pay taxes. Long-overdue reform.
Prop 16: YES Legalize affirmative action
Prop 17: YES Let ex-cons vote
Prop 18: YES Let 17yos vote in primaries
Prop 19: idk Flawed but might help somebody
Prop 20: NO We need fewer people in prison, not more. Fuck this measure.
Prop 21: YES Legalize rent control
Prop 22: NO Uber, Lyft & Doordash just want to keep exploiting their workers (with astroturf)
Prop 23: idk I’m loathe to side with bosses over unions. I also suspect this prop is a cynical sideshow which would be bad for patients. I’ve flipped twice already on this, and am not confident either way! source 2 3
Prop 24: NO Pretends to be pro-privacy, but waters down privacy laws.
Prop 25: YES Tough call. Doesn’t go far enough to check racist judges, but ending cash bail will make future reform easier by cutting out the loan shark industry. After much thought I lean towards shaking up the status quo on this.
Senate District 7: Nobody Glazer sucks & the republican won’t win
Senate District 9: Nobody Fuck Skinner and her right-libertarian challenger too
Assembly District 15: Brink Wicks takes dirty money
Assembly District 18: Bonta He’s not perfect, probably doesn’t need your help, but I’m feeling cautious about the Republican

Measure V: YES Open to changing my mind, since unincorporated areas tend to be poorer
Measure W: YES Iffy about sales tax, but homeless services ++
Measure X: YES I support fire department upgrades because I enjoy breathing air
Transit At-Large: Victoria Fierce I’ll always side-eye her housing politics & history with SFBARF/YIMBY but this might be a good fit for her. Dollene Jones would be my first choice if she championed free rides the way Fierce does.
Transit Ward 2: Jean Walsh Harper is smart but annoying, he isn’t even trying anymore. Meanwhile, Walsh’s history with Lyft concerns me, but I’m feeling generous towards her as a wide-eyed newcomer who hates cars.

Superior Court Judge Office #2: Elena Condes
Peralta Board Area 2: *shrug* Jenkins unopposed, libs like him
Peralta Board Area 6: *shrug* Polk unopposed
BART District 3: whatever Saltzman unopposed, liberals seem to like her
BART District 7: Lateefah Simon BART Police are so afraid of this blind black incumbent, they send her death threats and are running their own candidate (Kidd) to represent cops
EBRP Ward 2: *shrug* Rosario unopposed
EBRP Ward 4: *shrug* Corbett unopposed

These are rank choice, so I’m recommending a full slate each
Council District 1: Ngo, Kalb, Nobody I’ve always had a soft spot for Kalb, but gotta give the longshot some love first. Walton is a naive well-connected semi-reformist neoliberal, I’m not impressed.
Council District 3: Fife, Taylor, Semedar Fife will represent the grassroots in West Oakland like few have before. McElhaney is a disaster
Council District 5: Lopez-Meraz, Raya, Nobody Two awesome progressive challengers. Enough of Gallo already
Council District 7: Clay, Tatmon, Nobody Reid would be an establishment party hack
Council At Large: Kaplan, Nobody, Nobody The others are all corporate shills
School District 1: Thomas, Davis, Nobody All these school races are perennially about stopping charters, land sell-offs, and prison pipelines.
School District 3: Gash, Williams, Santana
School District 5: Hutchinson, Lerma, Pope-Lawrence
School District 7: Molina, Tapscott, Valerio
City Attorney: idk Parker is too soft on cops, but I don’t trust Ferran, and neither do his former coworkers, as they all donated money to their current boss’s campaign. It’s a mess, I’m inclined to stay out of it.
Measure QQ: YES Let 16yos vote for school board
Measure RR: NO regressive fines
Measure S1: YES More cop oversight
Measure Y: YES Schools need the money. Mostly taxes the rich & benefits the poor.
