In 2024, we can get rid of Robert White, Brooke Pinto, Christina Henderson, Janeese Lewis George and Trayon White.

You will have to ask for election changes before then. The way we run our elections , people with name recognition and a surprisingly slim amount of the vote take all. There have been folks clamoring for change for years

No need to get rid of Trayon, he was the only sane person on the crime bill.

I thought Pinto was more moderate?

Here is an explanation. Otherwise, incumbents or folks with name recognition (who let's face it often have extreme views and small, but vocal support) take the pie with a slim lead and no one else can even get a foot in the race.

We need ranked voting in DC today. I am actually surprised it has not been implemented here yet.

Let me fix that for ya:
“DC COUNCIL must address the crime issue”

That will never happen. So bring in the federal protectorate

Her main trait is being ineffectual.

that may happen. A ward 6 ANC commissioner has enough pulls to get the attention of republican congressmen who said they are "reviewing" the crime issues and the recent Council approved update to code.

I can't think of an election in recent memory where ranked choice voting would have changed the outcome. And for me, "recent memory" means since 1992.

Crime was much higher in DC before home rule.

Left wing progressives think that more people would vote for their candidates but don’t because they compromise and vote for “electability”.

The truth about RCV, based on actual studies, is that it hurts voter turnout by making elections more complicated which results in less democracy not more. So it’s a system that works to entrench partisanship.

Well it would be much better now. It was lovely clean and quiet, albeit a bit scary looking, after 1/6 when we had to secure the city from the gop yahoos

I’d fight to both get the representation and be ruled by the federal gvt; like a sovereignty hand in contract. No more corruption and waste. No tax. Can take councilmen salaries and build housing

One of the reasons the Congress stopped running DC was the epic corruption.

I think it should be a new type of federal protectorate. Representation, no tax, run by a Governor appointed by the President. It’s not capable of self-governing, the council and mayors were caught with their fingers in a pie too many times and the city is failing despite the budget surplus. Bring in city managers to professionally sort it out.

This would be fine by me, and I'm a DC native. Washington Hospital Center and all that.
I wouldn't mind being excused from some taxes like Puerto Rico tho...
but would like to be given more attention. Which I figure we would be since a lot of the Feds also live or work here.
