After years in politics, I thought I’d seen every inappropriate & self-absorbed thing a politician can do. I was wrong. If Allison Collins even vaguely cares about educating San Francisco’s kids, she’ll stop suing the school district & her colleagues for $100M & instead resign.

Why it worked

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Admits a failure or a cost, which buys trust that a polished post cannot.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, concrete, punchy
Mechanisms: Specificity, Pattern interrupt, Vulnerability
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators
