Voters in perhaps the nation's most liberal city recalled a progressive district attorney. What does it mean for L.A. politics?
The San Francisco earthquake Tuesday should have rattled liberal Democratic politicians all over America, especially in California’s state capital and Los Angeles.
This wasn’t Frisco, Texas, after all, where most voters are Republicans. In San Francisco, Republicans make up only 7% of registered voters. Democrats are 63% of the electorate.And as happens periodically in America — including in California — a liberal politician got too far ahead of the citizenry, and the voters rebelled. Yes, it happens even in San Francisco.
“It’s a warning light” to the Democratic Party, says veteran L.A.-based Democratic strategist Garry South. “A D.A. can carry out the job with some compassion. But they’re elected to put bad guys behind bars. And if they don’t see that, and are perceived as making excuses for bad guys, they’re going to pay a price.”
What the San Francisco recall means for L.A. politics is hot fodder for speculation among political junkies. Tuesday’s voting “means that Bass has to have a strong platform about addressing crime,” says San Francisco-based Democratic pollster David Binder.
