To be fair, I wonder if all voters actually fully understood what Prop 83 meant. Some people might have just seen as “oh look more choices to vote” and just checked the box for shts a giggles and out of confusion.

I did it knowing that it could result in more moderate candidates.

But did anyone else pay attention to the campaign from a lot of pandering liberals and left leaning folks who said “oh no! We can’t have ranked choice! It’s too confusing for poor voters in Ward 7 and 8!”

Like it was this ironic and extremely rude mindset that poor people didn’t understand it or, really, that they should be protected from their own choices. Just so much soft bigotry of low expectations. Like it’s pretty fked up that some know it all progressive would try and shoot down ranked choice under that banner. Basically, they knew that it could lead to more choices and potentially, gasp, less candidates like Nadeau. Pretty underhanded and patronizing.

It was mostly the political class that was opposed. Regular folks like me understand it and supported it.

You started your statement saying people didn’t understand what they were voting for and then admonish liberals for assuming people wouldn’t understand ranked choice voting. You sound just like them.

Sure. You’re right. I’m a hypocrite. Doesn’t change the face that liberals were touting the harms of ranked choice voting by the soft bigotry of low expectations and “they don’t know any better”. It’s fked up. It’s partly why Trump won. People are fed up with progressive left wing nanny state bs.

This is painfully ignorant.

It wasn’t “liberals” opposing RCV. It was the DC Democratic Party.

Many “liberals” and “progressives” - like Christina Henderson - supported the initiative.

It wasn’t the republicans, now was it?

I more alarmed the reasoning that democrats needed to “protect the voters from themselves” as if they were too stupid to know who they were voting for. It’s very paternalism. And yes progressives were part of the movement against it as well. You are wrong.

DC Council has been patronizing the citizens and the Mayor in the worst ways imaginable. First they repealed their own term limits so they can stay in power for forever. Then they threatened to not fund the Prop 83 voted in with 73% because the voters are too feeble minded apparently. Grow up it’s over.

The mayor was ardently opposed to Prop 83. You must not have heard.

The political class, particularly those who won with a plurality rather than majority of votes, oppose it. This isn't hard.

It occurred at the time of (frankly regrettable) no chase policy (yet another pro-criminal DC Council measure). It was caused by a hit and run by a criminal who drove off from an attempted stop by a stationary police. You liar.

JFC. The title of the article is literally “man killed in DC police chase”. Frankly, I think the reporter that wrote the article and the MPD leadership that decided to refer the case to internal affairs for investigation know a little bit more than you. And why you are accusing other people of lying, you gaslighting nutbag?

Literally, read the article. Criminal killed him, wasn’t being chased. Had he been chased the guy might have still been alive.

Is this the same leadership that let their two officers be imprisoned for the 2020 chase for 5 years each? In that chase, which led to the no chase policy because DC Council jumped on the populist horse, another criminal tragically crashed himself on a scooter without a helmet.

History won’t be kind. Give me a break. I’m done with your corrupt Council people and so is most of DC. We just need to find a way to separate your whiteknuckled grip from the city purse. By any means necessary

The article is scant on facts. Because the facts are this had nothing to do with the police. But the family won’t get a payout from yet another coddled criminal who escaped because the police has been shackled. So have to blame the police and the city to get the payout.

So now you’ve dreamed up a wide-ranging conspiracy involving an NBC reporter, MPD internal affairs, USAO, and the victim’s family - who live in Guinea, no less - just to avoid having to admit that it was stupid to claim that no one had been killed by a chase in DC.

Let’s review the facts.

1. As the WaPo says: “The city has struggled in recent years to balance the need for traffic enforcement with concerns about racial inequities and physical peril in how it is done. In 2022, after two men died during police chases, D.C. made it illegal for officers to pursue a car unless the fleeing suspect poses an immediate threat and death or serious bodily injury is not a likely result. D.C. police began doing far less enforcement, citing “mixed messages” from officials and the pursuit legislation. Traffic deaths went up, and residents complained that dangerous drivers were being allowed to repeatedly flout the law. Earlier this year, in response to spiking crime, the law was amended to allow chases in cases of an “imminent” threat, even if the suspect is put at risk. In August, the D.C. police formed a small unit dedicated to traffic enforcement.”

2. A car fled a police stop. Police pursued by all accounts safely under the modified policy. Then the offender turned left, sped up, hit the person on moped and run. The person was a young man who tragically died. He was the 8th moped death and nearly 50th traffic death YTD.

3. From that you read an incendiary deadline, and concluded that police chasing is killing innocents all over the DC. Why did you conclude that? It’s causal — if police chase criminals, criminals will eventually cause damage? If police don’t chase criminals, this will also happen? You could have also concluded, the victim was an illegal immigrant, shouldn’t have been in the US, and it wasn’t would most likely be alive — is the border agent who let him in without the correct papers who caused the death?

This is absurd and tragic. Police should absolutely chase criminals and put them away. When enough are put away for long enough for fleeing a stop, they’ll stop fleeing stops. In today’s DC their every incentive is to flee. Defunded MPD can’t chase, doesn’t have resources to find them, and then they’re let back out in minutes.

Your DC is a whiner-dreamt up
dystopia.

And by the way, good luck calling the police now that 2 more decorated DC cops are going to jail for 5 years for doing their jobs.

Yes. I hate the ejection result, but it’s 4 years and doesn’t affect my very day life. I hate these types way more because they don’t have term limits, openly take bribes, and do this out of pure self-interest, and have negatively affected every aspect of my life. I’ve lived in DC for 25 years and it’s only the last 5 that I even know or care who’s on DC Council and that’s only for negative reasons: eroded life in the City, idiotic and criminal behavior, always on the wrong side of every issue for personal populist gain

Just because you’re left-wing doesn’t mean you can’t be a populist, a fascist, a demagogue, a tyrant. In fact many were. DC rose up

Read the comments on WaPo “Awaiting Trump, D.C. leaders balance defending city, not ‘poking the bear’”

An almost universal indictment of the City Council

[Anonymous]

It's not a big accomplishment that violent crime went down 30% from last year in DC.

The reality is from 2019 to 2023, violent crimes almost doubled - homicide went from 166 in the year to 274. From 2022 to 2023, car thefts went up 80+%. Violent carjackings were so common that people were scared to go out in their neighborhoods at night, to even walk outside for 3 blocks. Some of our neighbors moved out of the city because of safety concerns. So while these numbers have improved a little bit in 2024, for most of the last 4 years, DC has steadily gotten worse, and become crime-ridden. I have lived in the District for decades and am not advocating for a Federal government takeover - but DC today is not safe. If Trump can help fix that, that'd be a good thing.

I mean it is an utter disgrace the level of tolerance for ATVs and dirt bikes the city has, and they even have torn up the national mall with them. It is anarchy and the iron hammer needs to be brought down to restore order.

DC also once let out a teenaged serial killer, who murdered multiple people and shot a few others during attempted murders, to roam the streets free. Literal insanity.

Yes it is time to put these democrats in their place. I do not understand why we should even allow them to vote. Just declare martial law and round everyone up.

Out of curiosity, why do you pin all the blame on the Council. Yes, they have passed a number of dumb laws, but they have no authority over MPD or the US Attorney’s Office which prosecutes violent crime. The real problems would appear to be with the mayor - who appoints the MPD chief and a bunch of other important positions, such as the DCPS head - and the US Attorney.

So many reasons. Chief amongst which in no particular order: they take bribes openly, once they do they are still on the ballot, they repealed their own term limits to enact a lifetime employment opportunity, and have threatened to not fund a proposition aimed at a greater and more democratic turnover of seats so as not to lose said lifetime employment opportunity

That they are also patronizing and underachieving is just the icing
