You seem to have fallen into the trap of assuming San Francisco politicians have any relationship to the Democratic Party at the national level.


The most recent Democratic Speaker of the House is a San Francisco politician.

The current Democratic Vice President of the United States is a San Francisco politician.

The Democrat who has been engaging in national political media battles with the second-ranked contender for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2024 is a San Francisco politician (also, Governor of California.)

There may be some reason to see a connection between San Francisco politicians and the Democratic Party at the national level.


> The most recent Democratic Speaker of the House is a San Francisco politician.

No on both counts. Nancy Pelosi has had nothing to do with San Francisco politics for the last 40 years.

“Federal politician who lives in San Francisco” != “San Francisco politician”.
