Cries of White Supremacy Fail To Win Asian Voters in SF School Board Recall — Jen Pan

Jen Pan takes a look at the recent recall vote of three San Francisco school board members. What does the recall vote tell us about the role of Asian voters who have been historically ignored by both parties? While most mainstream commentary on the recall focused on whether it was motivated by a woke backlash or the failure of the SF school system to adequately deal with the pandemic, what is known is that Asian voters played an outsized role in the result. Pan argues that it is more important to consider how these voters were won over. The Bernie campaign again provides a key: what is needed is a strong ground game that goes directly to the voters themselves.
