This is such a bullshit argument. Nobody is forced to live in DC, and you can move to an area where you can vote by going maybe a couple miles down the road. The idea that the people who voluntarily live here (with full knowledge of the voting issue) are being done some grave injustice is just laughable.


The grave injustice is that the people who live here without voting rights are paying more federal income taxes on a per capita basis than every jurisdiction in the US except Connecticut. Either give me two senators (like Wyoming and Vermont---both of whom with fewer people than the District) or else abolish federal income tax for DC residents.

LOL. DC also received - by far and not even close - more Federal transfers than any jurisdiction. On top of that, DC barely bothers to find higher education and here again receives a significant and unique Federal transfer.

I actually would love for DC to be a state and compete for resources like every other state, rather than constantly have its hand to Congress like some panhandler. I can guarantee that ya’ll ain’t gonna like it.


This is actually false. DC doesn't receive a federal payment anymore, and hasn't for more than a decade. In addition, DC taxpayers pay the most, per capita in federal taxes, than anyone else in the country. So, no.

I am sorry that you do not understand what Federal transfer payments are. You may want to consider this data. Scroll down to the chart labeled "Per capita federal spending". DC leads all states by miles when it comes to Federal transfers and it is not even close.

1. DC = $74k
2. VA = $17k
3. MD = $16k

DC receives more federal money per capita because it's the seat of the federal government. Naturally there will be more federal workers here than, e.g., Alabama. DC isn't just getting free money from the Feds. Why any of this matters is a mystery to me.

You don’t know what you’re taking about. The Federal governments provides DC with direct payments annually that it provides to no other justification that are completely unrelated to expenditures on Federal workforce, welfare payments, transportation spending, etc. These payments cover:

- court services, offender supervision, and public defender services
- tuition assistance grants
- DC Sewer and Water Authority

Brianne was at Howard meeting with the student protestors today but it's nearly impossible to get her to confront crime and violence in her ward during non-election years. I guess I would be a cynic if I said she was doing it just for the photo-op? Of course she provided the photos.

Yes, Nadeau is almost pro-crime in her Ward. The law-abiding citizens have been a bother to her. She's an idealogue in search of a place to posture, not an organizer of services for her constituents. The place to posture might as well be Ward 1 but that's incidental.

Nadeau has a consultant as the treasurer of her campaign. I’m not even sure if she’s real? I think she’s a liberal hologram artfully constructed out of woke feel good policy positions.

We need one and only one opponent to run against her. She probably would have lost in the last primary had support coalesced around one of her opponents: More people voted against her than for her. Instead three opponents split the vote and we got four more dreadful years of inaction on crime and truly silly, non-serious legislation she has tried and failed to pass.

She's real, or at least she's a corporeal creature. Remember she helped herself to an early COVID vaccination "as an example to nursing mothers" when none of her constituents could get one for our family members with serious health problems. And then she certainly didn't speak up for us when DC decided to effectively deny federally-provided shots to sick citizens in Ward 1 zip codes as a punishment for our perceived "privilege."

Remember, get it when it’s your turn. Evidently Feb. 2021 months ahead of elderly and immunocompromised constituents was Brianne’s turn.
