SAN FRANCISCO 2.1.2024
Garry Tan’s violent tweet advocating violence clearly advocates. Get rid of the Progressives. That’s the opening salvo in his campaign to further upend the political landscape of San Francisco.
Elected and unelected officials are his target.
Money and political intimidation are the linchpins of his agenda.
The fallout from Garry Tan’s threat to Progressive elected officials continues to percolate is just the start in this election year.
The San Francisco Standard ran dueling op eds. On one side is Christopher Cook who unsheathed his pen and continues to lacerate Garry Tan. The most interesting, and disturbing, part of his piece follows.
In a rather Orwellian video, Tan told the Network State conference in 2023, “We need our own parallel media, we need our own machine … We have a parallel media now, with Elon’s Twitter or X. Getting a parallel media was a key piece, and it wasn’t done through voting, it was done by building.”
Tan went on to say, “Voting is important, but it just replaces the elected officials … we need to replace the unelected parts as well.” He proposed a network of “parallel media and businesses” as “a possible recipe for reforming San Francisco and building the alternative tech political machine. And if it works in SF, it will work everywhere. And the cool part about it is, this is just getting started.”
When Garry Tan writes, “Voting is important, but….“
What Garry is really saying is that the voters can’t be trusted. He is advocating for a media and business community sympathetic to his vision of San Francisco.
