IMC Network
stop bitching.
And then get a clue - endorsements happen before a candidate runs, not after. There WAS no story on Matt until he won. Does IMC now have an 'endorsement' on here? I haven't seen one if they do. They have a story. And if they don't have an endorsement, then fuck off.
People are fucking posting stories because they're excited as hell. If you're so resentful that Matt is doing well, then you should be asking yourself why - is Newscum what you want? Go ahead then. If you're so above the electoral system that we're currently all trapped by, then fucking blow something up or start something new on your own. If not, then fuck off.
Care Not Cash and Prop M passed because people are really full of angst about the homeless problem and want something done. Anything.
100+ people dying each year on our streets is a horror and really eats the heart out of this progressive city. People shitting in the UN fountain or pissing on Market Street is disgusting and just so sad. We must address this problem. Other cities around the world, like Prague, Paris, even London have less crazy street people. What is working there? Why not implement some of those strategies here?
If Matt can offer a plan that addresses how to get people into safe shelters, off the streets, and off the booze, he will be Mayor for 8 years. Looney paranoid attacks on Newsom will not help Matt. It will make him look like the candidate of the 'unstable people.'
Time for all us Matt supporters to get his platform out to the voters. Talk to your friends and neighbors. If we can reduce the number of homeless, and provide an plan that addresses the homeless in a real way, we will win.
No one really likes Newsom, but they do want an adult in charge of the city. We just need to prove that Matt is that adult.
