Dean Preston quits X after Elon Musk blamed him for ruining San Francisco and his Democrat Socialists of America chapter claimed Hamas bloodbath would lead to 'better world'

A controversial San Francisco progressive lawmaker has quit X, claiming he no longer feels safe after Elon Musk targeted him - but locals claim he's really left over outrage about his stance on the Israel massacre.

Dean Preston announced his plans to quit the social media site formerly known as Twitter earlier this week - and blamed a personal attack by its billionaire owner for driving him off.

Musk and other San Franciscans say Preston's progressive policies have contributed to the ruination of the city, now a byword for open drug-taking, ram-raids and violent crime.

He got called out by the owner of the platform. I’d probably quit too. But I bet he’s got an alt he’s using behind the scenes. His Pierre Delecto account somewhere lurking to watch the reactions.

Hitler would probably agree with him that killing Jews would lead to a “better world”.

The DSA is allegedly marxist. Look up their original program from the early 1980s. It’s right there for all to see, except our mainstream media, Hollywood Left, the NEA & AFT, and Democrat Party don’t, won’t and haven’t got the balls to do so. Too many of their people are members and supporters of this MARXIST bunch of traitors.

Dean Preston should be shunned and abhorred by decent people.

Not feeling safe is just leftist code for “I heard something I disagree with and it offends me because only I actually have free speech in my alternate universe.”

It’s an alternate universe where freedom fighters are cowards who attack students, grannies and toddlers.

I don’t care if they want to live in an alternate universe, but they should not get anywhere near the levers of power in our real universe.

My dictionary keeps changing. Lemme see. "Gay" now means fag. "Liberal" is Mao era communism. And "progressive" is straight-to-gas-chamber satanic.

These crazy democrats. They're just a bunch of hard partiers.

It is surprising to me that a major corporation would permit an executive employee to hold a political office, especially one with law making powers.

It is a blatant conflict of interest.

Every company I ever worked for had this very stringent rule.

Very few exceptions. Every year I had to fill out a form informing the company of any office I might hold outside of work.

I knew of only one exception that was permitted. An employee was permitted to hold a township trustee office in an area which the company had no interest.

As an aside the employee was eventually fired after is was found out that he was putting his company phone number on his township trustee business cards.

Preston’s solution to the thousands of car break-ins in SF each year...

“Preston taking to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to urge the city to launch a campaign telling visitors not to leave things in their cars.

“Let’s actually have real signage with graphics that are clear to people no matter what language they speak. Let’s have community ambassadors who are out there handing a similar flier to people as they park,” said Preston.”

Boggles the mind!

A self hating Jew...

“Preston was born in New York City.[2] His father and grandparents were refugees from Nazi Germany during World War II.[3] Their family owned a co-operative apartment in Greenwich Village.[2] Preston attended private Horace Mann School which he graduated from in 1987. [4]Preston attended Bowdoin College, where he met his future wife, Jenckyn Goosby.[3] “
