Just so everyone understands what DFER is supporting

as someone said in this twitter thread, Ward 3 really dodged a bullet.

So it looks like he's back at his old job at the Council. I hope being "very actively involved in Ward 3 neighborhood issues" doesn't mean trying to sabotage from within anyone on his enemies list.

David Krucoff seems to be gaining a lot of support for the fall. Although I think that Frumin is still likely to win, Krucoff could be a strong candidate. Remember that Carol Schwartz, a Republican, enjoyed strong electoral support in Ward 3.

Thanks for that input, Kru.

When most voters are reminded that he is part of a party that doesn't believe in democracy, that believes women should be criminalized for seeking an abortion, that contraception should be illegal, and that there is no right to privacy in our country, that momentum should come to an end.

How anyone can support a republican in this day and age is mind boggling.

The last time Schwartz was re-elected citywide, she beat the Democrat in Ward 3.

When Frumin ran At-Large in 2013 special election, he was beaten in Ward 3 by the Republican.

When Bowser first won, she was beaten by David Catania, running as an Independent in Ward 3.

DC Republicans are anti-Trump and largely pro-choice.

.... Goulet supporters are ascribing some nasty and ill-placed ire on Frumin (and his supporters) - there is nothing Frumin or his supporters have said or posted on listservs that are objectionable. Yet somehow and for some reason, you and Mr. Goulet on Twitter, are all wound up on this.

Maybe look in the mirror.

All these issues are coming up again with the Frumin-related complaint now filed against Silverman -- https://thedcline.org/2022/08/23/washington-post-at-large-d-c-council-candidate-requests-probe-into-elissa-silvermans-ward-3-poll/

As a reminder: The Frumin smear campaign - resulted in Goulet being accused of "taking money" [see CP listserv] from DFER. They never corrected this lie.

If Tricky Tricia and Bombastic Ben had pushed their own campaigns as hard as the "dark money" meme, maybe they wouldn't have had to drop out. Fact: Independent "dark money" $$ for Goulet was all disclosed in accordance with the law. Obviously everybody knew where it was coming from.

Question: Will Frumin refuse to accept the support of independent spenders, disclaim their support and urge voters to ignore it? By his own admission he called up DFER and pitched them, he just didn't want to fill out their questionnaire.

Why do you feel the need to keep anonymously smearing this guy? It’s incredibly pathetic.

The guy registered to become a republican AFTER 1/6.

He is clearly a full on Trumpster. I don't care whether you opposed bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue or not (his main platform item) - a pro-life, pro-fascist, pro-white nationalist does not deserve a single vote in the District of Columbia.

1) Goulet had the open support of DFER.
2) Goulet has shown on social media to be slightly unhinged
3) There is no proof that Silverman shared polling data with anyone
4) Frumin was going to win the election either way.

And once voters learned about the dark money and who it was coming from they said, "no thanks."

The core issue is the incivility of the Frumin supporters. Here you are deploying the same playbook against another person who dares to run against Frumin. You know nothing at all about this guy and yet here you are. Pretty sad.

DP but the point about Silverman is not true. She admitted to calling the candidates to tell them about the polling.
