Campers,
I’d say Dean Preston deserves the label: ‘#1 Progressive’ huh ?
An avowed, ‘Democratic-Socialist’ just like my idol, Bernie Sanders.
Props to Manny Yekutiel for hosting the Overflow crowd event.
I made a dollar bet that Preston supporters would outnumber detractors.
I lost.
But the ‘opposition’ was very laid back about it.
Manny used a tactic that surprised me to keep things quiet.
He had his Events director, Precious, collect written questions from the audience or maybe it was Joe Eskenazi (Mission Local Managing Editor) …
Whatever, there were no questions shouted at length from the audience (ta fuck is it about people who get mic to ask a question an droll on?) …
So, best Political MC in town (Joe) blended questions from all quarters to the smartest Progressive politician.
Worth the trip over and I got to see some old Moderate aquaintances I hadn’t seen in years who came out to peer at the Prog beast.
Watching Andrew Yang as I type up last night’s fun affair (had a date but she got Covid instead what are the odds?) …
Yang’s talking (ForwardParty.com) …
His call for next General Election …
"An independent Primary where people can vote on their cell phones."
Rogan against Kardashian against Trump against Yang against Sanders …
Go Niners !!
h.
