To those of us who remember the spirit of protest in Ocean Beach in the 1960s, [mayoral candidate] Eric Bidwell is a breath of fresh air. By playing along with the Sanders campaign and publicly exposing its attempt to corrupt him, he revealed the true Sanders administration in a most powerful way. Maybe he can wake up the apathetic public to what is really going on in our city government.
Mr. Bidwell has displayed the conscience to know right from wrong, the smarts to beat Sanders at his own game and the guts to actually do it. Well done!
After years of watching San Diego turn into a high-rise live-in Disneyland for wealthy yuppies, run by land developers and crooked politicians, I had almost given up hope for our city’s future. Eric Bidwell has given me new hope. With Mr. Bidwell around, I think this city might have a fighting chance to survive intact. I expect to hear a lot more from him in the coming years.
