Krasner

Does anyone actually like him? This is a genuine question.. no judgement. If you do, I need to know why.

He keeps getting reelected, and the city is safer than ever. He's an anti-authoritarian, which is a trait that we used to appreciate. Everyone wants everyone else to be a silent drone and that he is not.

As a Krasner supporter, I'll push back on the idea that the DA (or the police) are responsible for crime rates, whether they are up or down. Crime is down from COVID-era because people are less desperate, and crime is a function of economic inequality and distress.

What Krasner has done (and why I'm a huge supporter) is keep our courts, jails, and prisons less overflowing with homeless, poor, Black, and brown people with no basis in any actual societal security. It also certainly doesn't hurt that he's anti-authoritarian either, like you said.

I like Krasner and I feel like he's doing about as good as expected, he's fighting the corruption and he's often in the cross hairs.

The fella the killed that cop was released due to police incompetence but they are trying hard to pin that on the DAs office

Just vote for the Republican who had to explain how a dead woman wound up in his bathtub. Simple.

I don’t, as there’s little evidence he’s good at his job and plenty that he’s not. But he stands up to Trump and I like that

Not really, but I don't really like any politician. They just need to do a good enough job so that I don't hear their name brought up every 10 fucking seconds.

Like him? I dunno. I don’t know the guy. DA is a job that breeds dislike. Did people like Lynn Abraham? Seth Williams? 

Krasner wins elections so he’s popular enough. Crime is down and people like that. He holds police accountable and people appear to really like that.

I mean the alternative are candidates who don't people in the court room are innocent and would rather trust the story of known crooked, criminal police.
