Our commitment to endorsing in every race forces the SECB to use the “lesser-of-two-evils” justification more often then we’d like, but Council Member Dan Strauss made it difficult to lift that old saw, even against his challenger, Pete Hanning, the executive director of the fucking Fremont Chamber of Commerce.
In our meeting, the two men agreed on basically everything. Strauss would say something and Hanning would repeat it in a less-informed way. Or Hanning would say something dumb and Strauss would agree but in wonkier terms. They shook hands several times because they felt so aligned on some issues. We wish we were joking.
