Politicians in the Bay Area want to remove bike lanes from the Richmond-San Rafael bridge because they are worried about traffic congestion.

Cyclists say removing these bike lanes will put them in danger.

Did anyone call him out for this during the meeting?

There's a public comment section, right? Straight up ask why he feels it's appropriate be deciding matters of public saftey while actively endangering the public himself by distracted driving during this very meeting.

From my experience with a different fight in NYC, these people don't give a shit. They have no shame, they only care about their golden kickbacks.

How do people not vote them out?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

They're backed by billionaires and landlords who will easily spend lots of money attacking their rivals if it means slightly lower taxes

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If billionaires always could win unions wouldn't exist.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sadly not every fight has a union available, and unions have been heavily crippled by the US

Well they're slowly fading away

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Quick, without googling, tell me your state level representative, and give me a summary of their votes on key issues.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Exactly. We can only deal with so many issues in a 24 hour period. With trump, there's 47 new issues every day. Fraud overload. No way to respond to all the trash. We need the boondocks saints to just get rid of the bulk of the garbage and let's see how the surviving trash changes almost overnight.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, the point I was trying to make is that if you aren't actively engaged in politics, you won't know any of those things. Heck, I'm pretty engaged in my local news, taking maybe 15-30 minutes a day to read about local and state issues, and off the top of my head, I couldn't tell you who my state level rep is, or what they've voted for recently. That's why people don't vote then out, there is an apathetic disconnect between the politicians vote, and the shitty policies that they support. Hence why people keep actively voting for politicians who undermine and harm them, the people voting can't be bothered to connect their vote to the policies that are enacted.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I fully agree. It's just not easy and I don't like feeling like I could shoot a politician in the face and lose no sleep. It's pure hatred, gotta tune some out before you go crazy

Most people don’t pay much or any attention to local politics which makes advertising and incumbency very powerful. Most people literally just vote for the name they recognize from TV or mailers.

It would take a large increase in political consciousness to fix this.
