They don't care if you vote Republican or Democrat, as long as you vote for their Republican or Democrat(s).
Now, clearly it is impossible to vote for two or three candidates in the same race... so who is it that would have us be so confused?
BOMA SFIE PAC, aka the Building Owners and Managers Association, aka The Man.
As far as I can recall, these three candidates were very very mum prior to June 3 on Prop. 98, which would have phased out rent control. Prop. 98 failed, and several prominent candidates in D3, frontrunner David Chiu and my onetime benefactor Tony Gantner among them, opposed Prop. 98.
D3 is ridiculously crowded as it is, and it looks like Chiu is going to take the whole damn thing -- he's received most of the endorsements -- but if you were looking for some people to oppose, for no other reason than they take money from landlords and building owners, here you go.
"Vote for someone -- no no not them! Him? No! Her? Ok. Him -- alright, fine, too. But not HIM!"

Your statement that you can't vote for three people is incorrect. You actually can vote for three candidates under Rank-Choice Voting rules and big business wants you to vote for these three candidates. Also, I wouldn't necessarily call David Chiu the front runner. People in the District lately don't like Peskin and they know that Peskin used his power and influence to get Chiu most of those endorsements. Peskin, like the big businesses who support these three candidates, has a personal financial stake in a Chiu victory. When Chiu doesn't get a group's endorsement, Peskin goes to that group's next meeting to influence the group that they need to change their decision...or else.... and so they do then endorse Chiu.

Ranked-Choice Voting
Ranked-Choice voting was passed by the voters as an amendment to the City Charter in March of 2002. Ranked-choice voting allows San Francisco voters to rank up to three candidates for the same office
Seriously? No kidding. Can you tell I haven't voted in a supes election yet?
My thinking's that esp if folks like the Harvey Milk Club are giving Mr. Chiu the nod he's got to have some kind of edge. But what do I know -- I can't say I know anyone on Russian Hill, in Chinatown, on Telegraph, in Polk Gulch... and 20something transplants drunk in NB don't vote.
if someone is nice to you, but mean to the waitress then they are not a good person.
