by rose pak and ed lee. Politics/issues can be complex and there can be genuine disagreement and multiple viewpoints on things. Politicians can vote contrary to your opinion on a matter without being in the pocket of evil powers. Sometimes it can actually be what they think is best. The sooner you stop deluding yourself that you're some freedom fighter and realize your opinion is not the absolute truth when some issues don't have an absolute truth, the better. Also, lillipublicans, you're not some scholar or expert who really understands how things work. You're delusional and all your expertise is imaginary. Stop talking politics and economics like you have any inkling of what you're talking about. Humble and approachable don't spring to mind. It's her world, we just live in it. My question to you, though: How many 8 Washingtons did Olague buy with her Mirkarimi vote? How many votes with the Mayor and his powerful backers will you accept as Christina just being her independent self? While the Bay Guardian does, in my opinion, have an obligation to support it's journalistic efforts with verifiable facts, the political endorsements of it's editorial staff fall within the realm of "opinion" and are not bound by such requirements. The SFBG doesn't need to justify a withdrawal of endorsement any more than I, as a private citizen, need to justify a change of mind regarding my own voting intentions. To be honest, I never understood why anyone cares who the Bay Guardian says
